The highly anticipated Fureru movie is set to hit theaters in the fall of 2024. The trailer introduces a group of childhood friends brought together by a enigmatic hedgehog. While specific plot details are still under wraps, it's clear that this will be a heartfelt coming-of-age film.
CloverWorks will handle the animation for the film, known for popular series like Fairy Tail, Bocchi the Rock, and especially Spy X Family.

The Fureru movie is generating a lot of excitement due to its striking resemblance to the Anohana series, which revolves around the themes of childhood friendship and tragedy.
In Anohana, Meiko "Menma" Honma is part of a close-knit group of six childhood friends, but tragically passes away in a car accident. Five years later, Jinta Yadomi, who has become withdrawn from society, encounters Menma's ghost, imploring him to help her fulfill her final wish. Despite their best efforts, the friends are unable to see Menma and begin to question Jinta's acceptance of her passing.
The story is very poignant and emotional, showing the importance of childhood friends and how connections can last long past someone's death.
