The studio A-1 Pictures is producing the animation, and Aniplex is distributing the film, as well as producing it with Fuji TV.
The film will be an entirely new work, although the story will be set in the same Chichibu City in Saitama Prefecture as anohana. As of Monday, the official anohana website is showing a mysterious egg illustration (pictured right) that is linked to the new film. The new movie will premiere in 2015.
