Two separate trailers and staff additions for the upcoming dual anime films Boku ga Aishita Subete no Kimi e (To Every You I’ve Loved Before) and Kimi wo Aishita Hitori no Boku e (To The Solitary Me That Loved You) were revealed on Friday. Studio Bakken Record will animate the Boku ga Aishita film while TMS Entertainment is responsible for animating Kimi wo Aishita. Both films will release in theaters across Japan on October 7.
The two sci-fi romance films are intertwined and based on the novels written by Yomiji Otono and illustrated by shimano that were published in 2016. The two novels can be read in either order and run parallel to one another. Each movie will have different staff members for the most part and also have their own respective Twitter accounts (@bokuai_movie and @kimiai_movie), along with a combined TikTok account (@bokuaikimiai_movie).
Hio Miyazawa will be making his voice acting debut as Koyomi Takasaki, the main male protagonist of the films, while Aju Makita will play Shiori Satō, the main female protagonist.
