Mechanical designer Ippei Gyōbu has joined the team along with scriptwriters Shatner Nishida, Kana Matsui, and Masaya Honda.




The streaming of a teaser trailer for the anime film adaptation of Starwing Paradox game by Square Enix and Sunrise began on Thursday on their official website. The trailer showcases the film's release date on August 22 and introduces additional staff members involved in the project.

It has been previously stated that Kobun Shizuno will direct the film, while Yoshiyuki Sadamoto will return from his work on games to design the characters for the film.

The team for the upcoming film includes writers Shatner Nishida from Lupin III: Prison of the Past, Kana Matsui and Masaya Honda from Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, mechanical designer Ippei Gyōbu from Gundam: Reconguista in G and Synduality, production supervisors Joe Teng and Takafumi Yūki, and animators Honoo and StudioGOONEYS.

The movie is based on a unique narrative that takes place twenty years prior to the video game's plotline. Yō is the main character in this film; he is a high school student whose parents do not support his aspiration of becoming a musician. Furthermore, he is gradually losing touch with his bandmates. One day, while listening to music in his headphones, he hears a voice imploring for help and is enveloped in a brilliant light. Meanwhile, in Meguriboshi, two nations that have been at war for ages are seeking energy sources. Rako, a robot mechanic, collapses while repairing space debris that is heading towards the planet. While unconscious, he communicates with Yō.

In Japan, the game was introduced in November 2018 and stopped providing service in October 2021. It allowed up to 16 players to compete against each other in two teams of eight players each. The design of the cabinet was meant to mimic a cockpit, providing players with an immersive experience that matched their movements with the game.

Sunrise ( Bandai Namco Filmworks ) handled the animation in the game.

On the distant planet of Meguriboshi, located far away from Earth, there are two kingdoms: Kō Country A Slegga and Va Led Sei Kingdom. Despite being separated by light-years, they are constantly at odds due to their access to Hoshinochi, a unique form of living energy found only on this planet. These two kingdoms are engaged in an eternal conflict over control of this valuable resource. The weapons used in this battle are known as Ae Rial, massive weapons developed by Kizana, a multinational corporation.

The Ae Rials possess a unique feature known as the "Rearide System," which enables them to transmit customized data across different planets. When an "AZ-One" knight and an adept extraterrestrial flyer collaborate, they can fully harness the potential of the Ae Rials. Moreover, a planet inhabited by intelligent beings with exceptional abilities has recently been discovered. This planet is called Earth.
