Next week's Golden Week holidays are going to be capped off by the May 6th release of Fairy Tail movie Dragon Cry. The latest hype for the anime feature comes courtesy of a new web preview video.
Announced earlier in the week, the feature is also planned to be presented in May in the US, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, nine Latin American countries, Thailand and France.
The feature's titular Dragon Cry is a magical artifact, said to be powerful enough to destroy the world. It's stolen by Zash Caine (CV Jiro Saito) and brought to the kingdom of Stella, which is ruled by King Animus (CV Makoto Furukawa - One-Punch Man's Saitama) with the help of his magician, Sonya (Aoi Yuki - Madoka Magica lead).
Tatsuma Minamikawa, an episode director on series such as Attack on Titan and Gate, steps up to helm the A-1 Pictures production with series vet Shoji Yonemura writing the screenplay and Yasuharu Takanashi on the music. Yuuko Yamada (Persona 3 The Movie) provides character designs.
Along with acting as executive producer, manga author Hiro Mashima drew almost 200 pages of storyboards for the feature.
