Force of Will The Movie 1st Pilot film [L.S]


Borne of a trading card game; “Force of Will“ is set to become “Force of Will The Movie” = ”an omnibus film containing six different anime shorts telling different stories based on the concept of the trading card game. Each short will be approximately 15 minutes long. The film will open in 2018.”

Shown above is the teaser for the first film - featuring “world design” by Tatsuyuki Tanaka (whom has gotten me utterly delighted with this, having yet to review his “Cannabis Vol.2” illustration book on TOYSREVIL!), with music by Yutaka Yamada, produced by YAMATOWORKS, and directed by Shuhei Morita (“Tokto Ghoul”). Titled “L.S”, the concept is based on the Cthulhu mythos.
SYNOPSIS: "When letters written by a young girl, haunted by « Word » spread to all over the world, the evil tyrant who threatens the world makes its presence known..."
