The official website for the Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?: Arrow of the Orion (Dungeon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darō ka: Arrow of the Orion) anime film revealed on Friday that theatergoers for the first week of the film's screening (February 15 to 21) will receive an original novel by Fujino Ōmori titled Dungeon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darō ka: Arrow of the Orion - Iroasenu Tabiji (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?: Arrow of the Orion - Dull Journey, shown right).
The new novel will fill in the details of a 10-day journey that Bell, Hestia, Artemis, and Liliruca undertake outside of Orario in the film.
Theatergoers for the second week will also receive a different original novel by Ōmori, but the site did not reveal the details for the novel.
The film will open in at least 43 theaters in Japan on February 15. Sentai Filmworks has licensed the film and will release it in U.S. theaters.
Katsushi Sakurabi (Flying Witch, Heaven's Memo Pad, Lostorage incited WIXOSS), an episode director on the television anime, is directing the film at J.C. Staff instead of the television anime's series director Yoshiki Yamakawa. Fujino Ōmori, the author of the original light novel series, is writing the screenplay instead of the television anime's staff writers. Shigeki Kimoto is once again adapting Suzuhito Yasuda's original character designs for animation. Keiji Inai is composing the music as he did for the television anime, and Warner Brothers is distributing the film in Japan.
