Ghost Cat Anzu Anime Film's Opening Previewed

We're just a couple days away from the premiere of the Ghost Cat Anzu anime film, a Japanese and French co-production that adapts Takashi Imashiro's manga of the same name. Following the July 19, 2024 opening in Japan, GKIDS plans to distribute the film in North America sometime this year. Ahead of that, you can see how the film opens in a new video from the TOHO animation channel on YouTube.


The original Ghost Cat Anzu manga by Takashi Imashiro was serialized in Kodansha's children manga magazine Comic BomBom from August 2006 to November 2007, then compiled in one volume.

Yoko Kuno and Nobuhiro Yamashita direct the film, which features rotoscoped animation produced by Shin-Ei Animation (Doraemon) and French studio Miyu Productions. Shinji Imaoka provides the script, Kuno provides the character designs, and Keiichi Suzuki provides the music.
