The original anime feature, the directorial debut of animator Shoji Kawamori, will release in theaters for 2 nights only - May 10 and 11.
GKIDS has acquired the North American theatrical distribution rights to Labyrinth, the first original feature-length anime feature directed by Shoji Kawamori (Macross, The Vision of Escaflowne). The animated film will release in theaters for two nights only in Japanese with English subtitles and English-dub on May 10 and 11.
In the film, Shiori is a typical high school student who dreams of online stardom, but struggles to capture attention. After an embarrassing video of her goes viral, she gets trapped in her smartphone and replaced by a charismatic alter ego. As the doppelganger charms the internet and devises a nefarious plot to replace mankind with brainrot, Shiori must partner with other online outcasts to stop her digital counterpart and reclaim her life in the real world.
Labyrinth stars girl group ATARASHII GAKKO!’s Suzuka as Shiori Maezawa in her voice acting debut, who is joined by Taizo Harada as Komori and Takuto Teranishi as Suguru Kagami.
