Funimation has announced that it will screen Sunao Katabuchi's crowdfunded feature film project In This Corner of the World in the US beginning in August 11th as a limited engagement in select theaters with both English subititled and dubbed options. The film is described below:
The award-winning story of IN THIS CORNER OF THE WORLDfollows a young lady named Suzu Urano, who in 1944 moves to the small town of Kure in Hiroshima to live with her husband’s family. Suzu’s life is thrown into chaos when her town is bombed during World War II. Her perseverance and courage underpin this heart-warming and inspirational tale of the everyday challenges faced by the Japanese in the midst of a violent, war-torn country.
