In recent times, the Berserk franchise has noticeably been missing from the anime scene. After the Berserk: Memorial Edition, which was a collection of movies based on the Golden Age Arc, there’s no confirmation yet about a new screen project featuring Guts and the Band of the Hawk. Interestingly, STUDIO4℃ is currently working on other anime projects unrelated to Kentaro Miura’s grueling story, and they have recently shared a sneak peek at an upcoming film that promises to be quite distinct from the hardships faced by the Black Swordsman, as portrayed in ChaO‘s first look.
4℃ Studio, well-known for its extensive anime industry background, might surprise you with its presence in various animation realms beyond just anime. They’ve played crucial roles in bringing to life notable films such as “Memories”, “Spriggan”, and “Mutafukaz”. Additionally, they’ve contributed their skills to prominent superhero productions in North America, like “Transformers: Animated” (2007), “Thundercats” (2011), “The Animatrix”, “Halo Legends” (2010), “Green Lantern: Emerald Knights” (2011), and others. The upcoming tale of ChaO seems to deviate significantly from their usual themes, offering a fresh perspective on the world of mermaids that is unlike anything 4℃ has previously explored.
The World of ChaO
The upcoming animated film titled “ChaO” offers a unique perspective on mermaids within human society, leading to an amusing tale where a typical office worker unexpectedly gets married to a water-dweller. Although the specific release date and whether it will reach North America remain unclear, audiences in Japan can look forward to watching it this summer. This production is being handled by Toei Animation, with Yasuhiro Aoki at the helm as director for this peculiar anime adventure, directed by STUDIO4℃.
If you’re not familiar with Aoki’s previous works, let me tell you he has a substantial history in the anime industry. Although Yasuhiro’s directorial portfolio may seem limited beyond Batman: Gotham Knight, this anime creator has contributed to notable projects such as Psycho-Pass, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Naruto, Halo Legends, Steamboy, Sailor Moon, and Neon Genesis Evangelion. For more information about ChaO, you can find the first poster and other details below.
Exciting news! A new movie titled ‘ChaO’ directed by Yasuhiro Aoki is set for release in the summer of 2025. Hirokazu Kojima will be in charge of character design and animation, while Hiroshi Takiguchi will serve as the art director. In Japan, TOEI will handle distribution. The storyline remains a secret for now.
