Hiroya Shimizu (photo left in image above) voices Kamerō Kameta (character left). Hayato Isomura (photo right) plays Eeruo Kaerukawa (character right). Both characters are the voice acting debuts for both actors. Masa Mori (Obey Me! scriptwriter) directed the film at Type ZERO, and also penned the script alongside Shinichi Tanaka. Studio Outrigger developed the project.
The film screened at Anime Expo on July 3 and 4. Anime Expo's schedule describes the film:
"Huh? A turtle's shell is actually a human's ribs?" "The reverse-bending knee of a flamingo is a human's ankle!?" The illustrated encyclopedia A Turtle's Shell Is a Human's Ribs by Satoshi Kawasaki (SB Creative) clearly illustrates what it would be like if the human body acquired the bodily mechanics of various animals. With its outstanding animal humans, this amazing book has gathered a lot of attention and became quite a hit in Japan! And at last, it's been made into an animated movie!
Ion Entertainment and ASMIK Ace announced the film in January earlier this year.
Kawasaki published the original picture book in 2019.
