Trailer and plot summary
The English-subtitled trailer showcases the Maboroshi anime film's release date, the summary provided by Netflix, and more. After an industrial accident that sees the sky crack open following a steel factory exploding, the town of Mifuse finds itself frozen in time. Frozen in time is an understatement, as any form of change is viewed as inherently evil.
The film focuses on the life of 14-year-old Masamune Kikuiri, who one day finds himself caught between two girls: a classmate named Mutsumi and Itsumi, a girl who acts like a wild wolf.
With the town having no exits and the oppressive rule that nothing changes, things take a turn when Masamune begins developing feelings and falling in love with both women. This may just end up altering the future of their world and fans can't wait to see how the situation unfolds.
The Maboroshi anime film is set for release on Netflix on Monday, January 15, 2024. However, it is important to note that all release dates are subject to change as several Netflix projects have previously been pushed back.
