2026 will start with an anime bang, as the 2025 anime film adaptation of the time-travel novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka and directed by Kenichiro Akimoto will hit UK cinemas in January thanks to GKIDS.
Previously adapted into live action as the rather excellent Edge of Tomorrow (Live, Die, Repeat) starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, the anime adaptation has been undertaken by STUDIO4°C (Princess Arete, Berserk The Golden Age Arc).
No exact date has been provided for the UK yet, but keep an eye open and enjoy the trailer in the meanwhile:
