The studio behind Another, Angel Beats and many other popular series seems to have changed their style of work, now focusing on more working themed stories.
The most recent being ‘The Aquatope on White Sand’, and with that comes another working series announcement of an original feature-length anime film titled ‘Komada: A Whisky Family,’ set to hit the big screen in Japan.
On Wednesday, anime studio P.A. Works revealed the second teaser visual and a new promotional video for its new original feature-length anime film project, Komada – A Whisky Family, along with the film’s November 10 premiere date.
The trailer centers on Rui Komada, the young head of her ailing family whisky distillery, as she takes over the distillery after the death of her father.
