The released trailer not only introduces the main characters, but also announces that the moviewill begin showing in Japanese cinemas in July 2024. Distribution of the movie in Japan will be carried out by TOHO NEXT, guaranteeing that anime fans can soon enjoy this work on the big screen.

In Ghost Cat Anzu, the main character Anzu is voiced by Mirai Moriyama, while Noa Gotō voices Karin. These two actors not only provide voices for these characters, but also serve as models for animating these characters.

Their movements and dialogue were used as references in the filmmaking process, ensuring that the characters in Ghost Cat Anzu are lively and have strong personalities.

Prior to its official release, Ghost Cat Anzu was screened as a work in development at the Annecy Animation Festival in June 2023. Its appearance at the festival provided an early taste of how exciting the movie will be for audiences.
