A panel at Anime Expo on Friday for director Baku Kinoshita and writer Kadzuya Konomoto's original anime film The Last Blossom (Housenka) revealed the film will open in Japan on October 10.

The film screened in the Feature Film Competition at this year's Annecy International Animation Film Festival last month. A preview of the film was part of the Work in Progress lineup in last year's Annecy Film Festival.

Kaoru Kobayashi and Junki Tozuka both play protagonist Akutsu at both his past and present, respectively. Hikari Mitsushima and Yoshiko Miyazaki similarly voice Akutsu's partner Nana Nagata at different points in her life. Pierre Taki voices the talking Housenka flower.

Kinoshita is directing the film, with Konomoto credited for the script and the original concept. CLAP (Pompo: The Cinéphile, The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes) is in charge of animation production, and Michinoku-Toge is credited for concept art. The band cero is composing the film's music.

Kinoshita and Konomoto previously collaborated on the ODDTAXI anime from 2021.
