Crunchyroll has revealed April 14 to be the international (sans Asia) release date for Makoto Shinkai‘s Suzume film

Suzume premiered in Japan on November 11 and has made 7.595 billion yen (~US$55.36 million) in the country so far. It will make its way to Southeast Asia sometime in the near future.

Crunchyroll describes the film as: 

Suzume’s journey begins in a quiet town in Kyushu (located in southwestern Japan) when she encounters a young man who tells her, “I’m looking for a door.” What Suzume finds is a single weathered door standing upright in the midst of ruins as though it was shielded from whatever catastrophe struck. Seemingly drawn by its power, Suzume reaches for the knob… Doors begin to open one after another all across Japan, unleashing destruction upon any who are near. Suzume must close these portals to prevent further disaster.
