Break of Dawn Anime Film's Clip Features Rainbow Root

posted on by Alex Mateo
Film opens on Friday

Avex Pictures began streaming a new clip for the Break of Dawn (Bokura no Yoake) anime film on Friday. The video features The February Dawn showing Yūma and his friends what its home Rainbow Root was like 12,000 years ago.

The film opened on Friday.

The cast members include:

Tomoyuki Kurokawa (Dragonar Academy, Psychic Detective Yakumo) directed the anime at Zero-G. Dai Satō (Eureka Seven script supervisor, 10 Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex episodes, three Cowboy Bebop episodes) wrote the screenplay, and pomodorosa (Listeners, Deca-Dence) was the original animation character designer and concept designer. Takahiko Yoshida (Cells at Work!, Big Windup!) was the animation character designer and chief animation director, and Masaru Yokoyama (2019-2021 Fruits Basket, Your Lie in April, Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans) composed the music. GAGA and Avex Pictures are distributing the film.

Daichi Miura performed the film's theme song "Itsushika" (Before You Know It).

The original "juvenile science fiction" manga's story is set in the near-future year of 2049, where humanity has become aware for a number of years that the Earth will have an unavoidable collision with a large-scale comet. The manga's story focuses on Yūma, a boy obsessed with space, robots, and the impending collision. He has an encounter with an extraterrestrial being, which he finds out is connected to the incoming comet.

Tetsuya Imai (Alice & Zouroku) launched the manga in Kodansha's Afternoon magazine in January 2011. Kodansha published two compiled book volumes for the manga. Kodansha USA Publishing licensed the manga, and will release the manga in English on January 24.
