With the opening of the latest Mamoru Hosoda film in the US Theater this Friday, Chizu studio and film distributors have shared new trailers for Belle. The more than three minutes clip shows the opening scene of the overall film, introducing us to you, the virtual world like melavers. The trailer is mostly a showcase of Virtuoso Studio Chizu animation work, but we can also hear the same English cover from the “u” millennium parade and learn more about settings.
Metaverse has become a hot topic recently thank you for the meta work that has been done to promote the concept as a large evolution of the next internet, but Director Belle Mamoru Hosoda has thought about what the virtual world means for our interpersonal relationship for a long time. Back in 2009, he directed the summer war. The film imagines a world where everything is connected through a separate digital realm. More than a decade ago, the idea looks strange. Now it feels prescient.
