Sentai Filmworks has acquired ANOTHER,
the eagerly awaited new anime series that dares to ask the question: What do you do when your classmate’s school locker is a locker in the
morgue? Based on the hit novel by Yukito Ayatsuji, the 12 episode
series joins the manga, written by Ayatsuji and illustrated by
MELANCHOLOY OF HARUHI SUZIMIYA’s Noizi Ito, and the forthcoming live
action feature film (due Summer 2012) as part of the latest hit horror
franchise to erupt from Japan.
Tsutomu Mizushima (BLOOD C, KOBATO,
XXXHOLIC) directs from series composition by Ryo Higaki
(MORIBITO-GUARDIAN OF THE SPIRIT) while Yuriko Ishii (Persona – Trinity
Soul) adapts Ito’s original character designs for animation.
ANOTHER will
soon be available digitally through multiple outlets, with a home video
release on DVD and Blu-Ray scheduled for later this year.
Synopsis: Mei
Misaki was cute, athletic and one of the most popular girls in her
school. Why should a little thing like death change that? Now, 23
years after Mei’s mysterious demise, a new transfer student discovers
that not only is his school’s student body one corpse short of a full
roster, but that some secrets never leave high school. And what’s more,
all of this may somehow be tied into his own family past.
What is the
secret and how does it all connect? And even if Kouichi does figure it
out, will that knowledge help save him? As the school bells toll a
deadly dirge and students begin to die, things that were never properly
buried come back to haunt the high school of the damned in ANOTHER.
