Director Mamoru Hosoda’s new movie, Scarlet revealed the main voice cast, along with a new visual featuring the two characters. The anime previously confirmed the premiere dates for Japan and the United States. The movie will premiere in Japan on November 11, while fans in the United States will be able to watch it from December 12, 2025.
Produced by Studio Chizu, the movie stars Scarlet, a “strong princess who transcends time and space,” as its main character. She will be voiced by Mana Ashira, who will portray the character in two stages of her life: as a child and as a 19-year-old. Masaki Okada will voice Hijiri, a present-day nurse who is transported into the film’s setting, referred to as the “Land of the Dead.” There, he meets Scarlet and becomes her traveling companion.
You can see the two characters in the new visual below.
Known for movies like The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006), Summer Wars (2009), and Belle (2021), Hosoda is once again taking on the roles of director, screenwriter, and original creator. The director previously said that Scarlet is inspired by a “world-famous work on par with Beauty and the Beast.” You can watch the first visual below.
Mamoru Hosoda previously also teased that the Scarlet movie will feature a distinctive style, relying neither on traditional 2D animation nor Hollywood-style CG, as Studio Chizu seeks to create a completely fresh look.
