Earlier this month Production I.G released a trailer for their latest film, Giovanni’s Island (Giovanni no Shima). It is a story set just after World War II and it is a hand drawn film based on a screenplay from Shigemichi Sugita and Yoshiki Sakura (GitS: SAC, Blood+). Mizuho Nishikubo (Video Girl Ai) is directing. Here’s the trailer:
