The highly anticipated feature anime ChaO, produced by STUDIO4℃, has unveiled a new teaser trailer and revealed its official release date, set for August 15 JST. The film centers on an ordinary office worker facing the challenge of marrying a mermaid princess, blending fantasy with romance.
Alongside the teaser trailer, a new visual was released, and the voice cast for the lead characters was also confirmed. Oji Suzuka will lend his voice to the male protagonist, Stephen, while Anna Yamada will voice Chao, the mermaid princess. ChaO was initially announced in January, and this recent news further builds excitement for its premiere.
In addition to ChaO, STUDIO4℃ made headlines earlier this month with the announcement of an adaptation of All You Need Is Kill, which will focus on the character Rita Vrataski.
The creative team behind ChaO includes director Yasuhiro Aoki, known for his work on Psycho-Pass: The Movie as a co-character designer and as the director for SAMURAI NOODLES “THE ORIGINATOR”. The film’s character designer and animation director is Hirokazu Kojima, whose credits include Shoka and More Than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers, and the background art director is Hiroshi Takiguchi, recognized for his work on Weathering With You.
