Scarlet

Mamoru Hosoda, the acclaimed director behind BELLE, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Mirai, Wolf Children, Summer Wars and The Boy and the Beast, revealed at a production presentation today that his next anime film is titled Scarlet ("Hateshinaki Scarlet" in Japanese) and is slated to release in Winter 2025, which is a departure from his usual summer releases. Hosoda also noted that he's aiming for a completely new look beyond 2D anime or Hollywood CG animation, and that the story is based on a globally known classic. He described it as delving into life and death with action and romance elements, while still being entertaining.
