Coming to Japanese theaters in September is animated feature Hotarubi No Mori E, a picture that feels like a gentle fairy tale of sort from director Takahiro Omori and production house Brains Base.
The story of Hotarubi no Mori e centers around Hotaru, a little girl who gets lost in an enchanted forest where apparitions reside. A young boy, Gin, appears before Hotaru, but she cannot touch him for fear of making him disappear.
A quartet of teasers - three fifteen second efforts and a longer thirty second offering - appeared on the film's official website this week and one of those - the thirty second version - has just arrived in embeddable form. Take a look below for a taste of what looks to be a beautiful little film.
