The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit to Goodbye U.K. Home Editions Released on Monday

On Monday April 28, Anime Limited will release the film The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes in both Collector's Blu-ray/DVD and standard Blu-ray editions. The Collector's edition will include an art card, and a 28-page booklet, containing character, prop and setting artwork.

Anime Limited describes the film as follows:

"There is a phenomenon called the Urashima Tunnel, which exists outside the boundaries that constrain our reality. Unbound by such restrictions, it can achieve the otherwise impossible, journey wherever a mind can conceive, and bring the one thing that they most desire. But the cost of using the tunnel is staggering: a portion of one's own existence. Yet… when Kaoru Tono discovers something matching the Tunnel's description, he can't help but think of the sister he lost five years ago. Can the tunnel really reunite them? And how is his school's beautiful new transfer student involved?"

Tomohisa Taguchi (Akudama Drive, Kino's Journey - The Beautiful World, Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna) directed the film at CLAP (Pompo: The Cinéphile), and was also the scriptwriter and storyboarder, as well as the line director alongside Kanji Miyake. Tomomi Yabuki (Pompo: The Cinéphile animation director) was the character designer and chief animation director, with Yabuki, Seiji Tachikawa, Akio Hasegawa, and Yasuhisa Katō as animation directors. Harumi Fuuki (Miss Hokusai, Forest of Piano, Tsurune) composed the music.

Hachimoku released the original light novel in July 2019, with illustrations by Kukka. The novel was ranked #9 in the bunkobon category of the 2020 edition of Takarajimasha's Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! (This Light Novel Is Amazing!) guidebook.

Crunchyroll will release a Blui-ray edition of the 12-part series Berserk of Gluttony on Blu-ray. Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing both the novel series and its manga adaptation in English, and it describes the story:

"Fate Graphite is one of the forsaken. Cursed with the skill “Gluttony,” he is ever starving, never sated…until the day he kills a dying thief and devours the man's strength—and his soul. The true hunger of Fate's Gluttony has awakened, and if he can learn to control his power, he will at last be the master of his own destiny."

Tetsuya Yanagisawa (High School DxD, Orient) directed the anime at ACGT. Mariko Kunisawa (Ascendance of a Bookworm, Orient) supervised the series scripts, and Takafumi Furusawa designed the characters. EverdreaM performed the opening theme song "Jekyll & Hyde," and also performed the ending theme song "Ao no Genseki." EverdreaM is comprised of voice actresses Misato Matsuoka and Hitomi Sekine.

After releasing the story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō service, Isshiki launched the first novel volume with illustrations by fame in November 2017. Micro Magazine is also releasing the novels in a larger bunko format. Daisuke Takino launched the manga on Micro Magazine's Comic Ride website in April 2018.
