Anime YouTuber and influencer Gigguk announced on Sunday that his and GeeXProductions' anime short film Bâan -The Boundaries of Adulthood- (Bâan -Otona no Kyōkai-) will debut worldwide on his YouTube channel on September 20, and revealed the English dub cast and staff.

The anime's English dub will star Sydney Poniewaz as Rin, and Aleks Le as Daichi. Connor Colquhoun is the ADR Director, and Diana Garnett is the English localization producer.

The anime short film opened theatrically in Tokyo on Sunday. The release on YouTube will have both the Japanese dub and English dub, alongside a behind-the-scenes video.

GeeXProductions describes the anime as centering on two protagonists named Arai Daichi and Rinrada Ratchamanee, searching for a place where they belong. The story is set in two worlds: the Japan in the real world, and the fictional world of Euthania, which are connected by each other through a warp gate. Arai Daichi, a 21-year-old man who has conflicts with his family, seeks to run away as far as he can to Euthania. Meanwhile, Rinrada Ratchamanee, a 19-year-old Euthanian, sets out from her village to connect with Japan.

The setting of Euthania has a mild and peaceful climate that hosts fantasy races, but also holds threats such as large monsters. The setting is inspired by Thai and Southeast Asian mythology.

Yoshimitsu Ōhashi (Galaxy Angel, Witchblade, Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture) is directing the anime at studio daisy. Kevin Penkin (Made in Abyss, The Rising of The Shield Hero, The Apothecary Diaries) is composing the music.

The anime's Japanese dub stars Haruna Mikawa as Rin and Shōya Ishige as Daichi.
