Flooded by gravity-defying rain bubbles and isolated from the rest of the world, Tokyo is becoming a playground for lost children battling in team-based parkour competitions. It sounds like a game. Instead, it’s a new original anime film called bladder, written by Puella Magi Madoka Magica Clerk Gen Urobuchi and directed by attack on Titan‘s Tetsurō Araki.
As pointed out by Polygon
Of course there is more to it bladder than just teenagers walking around looking cool. The film focuses on Hibiki, a young parkour ace known for his ruthlessness. When the exciting teenager falls into the sea, he is rescued by a girl named Uta with mysterious powers. The whole thing is a unique take on the original Little Mermaid
Bladder, which debuts worldwide on Netflix on April 28th, has an interesting story, great trailer, and pedigree that also includes Death report Artist Takeshi Obata on character designs and attack on Titan Composer Hiroyuki Sawano, who takes on musical duties. Now all I need is a video game connection so that I can play with Hibiki and friends.
