Film[]
At a 15th anniversary event held on June 18, 2022, an anime film by Twin Engine was announced. Kenji Nakamura will return to direct the film. Originally it was scheduled to premiere in 2023, however, in February 2023, it was announced that the film would be delayed to beyond 2023. Additionally, Takahiro Sakurai, who originally was returning to reprise the role of the Medicine Seller, was removed from the cast of the film.[1]

An official kickstarter campaign[2] was launched to fund the movie, providing backers with different tiers of rewards based on their amount contributed. The kickstarter accomplished well beyond its 3 million yen goal, ending on 14th August 2022 at a grand total of approximately 8 million yen.[3]
