Summer has finally arrived, and along with warm weather and vacation time, that means it&rsquo;s also the season for summer blockbusters. In addition to the wide array of live-action films coming out this summer, there&rsquo;s a plethora of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/anime-manga\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"6\" title=\"Anime || Manga\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">anime<\/a> films enjoying global theatrical releases. In fact, it&rsquo;s never been easier to see anime in theaters outside of Japan, and the list of engagements this summer should please fans of basically any genre. The number of features coming out is long enough that it&rsquo;s frankly a little hard to keep track of, so today, I figured I&rsquo;d highlight a handful of the summer films fast <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roaching. Without further ado, let&rsquo;s celebrate the animation headed for the silver screen this summer!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Personally, there&rsquo;s no theatrical release I&rsquo;m more excited for than <em><strong>The Deer King<\/strong><\/em>, an anime-original film that&rsquo;ll be having <span style=\"color:#f39c12\">limited engagements starting in July<\/span>. The film is the directorial debut of Masashi Ando, whose work as an animator and animation director stretches from <em><strong>Paranoia Agent<\/strong><\/em> to a bevy of Ghibli classics. By its premise, it looks to be a sprawling and thoughtful fantasy epic, featuring a story by Nahoko Uehashi (the creator of the sensational <em><strong>Moribito<\/strong><\/em>). And with an absurd roster of former Ghibli storyboarders and animators on deck, I&rsquo;m looking forward to <em><strong>The Deer King<\/strong><\/em> offering both a refreshingly mature narrative and a staggering aesthetic experience, demonstrating the continuing drift of former Ghibli talent into the wider anime industry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Deer King\" src=\"https:\/\/img1.ak.crunchyroll.com\/i\/spire3\/1ec829379c10e7fd812d54a2509156421655394343_main.png\" style=\"width: 640px;height: 360px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size:11px\"><em>Image via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YP_dnbUC9kg&amp;t=55s\"><span style=\"color:#f39c12\">GKIDS<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If all that talk of Ghibli has you yearning for the original article, don&rsquo;t worry &mdash; this summer will also be featuring some <span style=\"color:#f39c12\">US screenings<\/span> of <em><strong>The Cat Returns<\/strong><\/em>, one of the lesser-known entries in the Ghibli canon. Odder still, <em><strong>The Cat Returns<\/strong><\/em> is actually the studio&rsquo;s only sequel, following up on a minor character from <em><strong>Whisper of the Heart<\/strong><\/em>. If you haven&rsquo;t seen <em><strong>Whisper<\/strong><\/em> yet, I consider you very lucky &mdash; the film is a poignant and gorgeous personal story and one of my favorites among the studio&rsquo;s productions. In contrast, <em><strong>The Cat Returns<\/strong><\/em> is a far more fantastical experience, making it perfect for a boisterous theatrical viewing. So get on <em><strong>Whisper of the Heart<\/strong><\/em> right this second and secure your ticket for the sequel!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>RELATED:&nbsp;<span style=\"color:#f39c12\">Inu-Oh&rsquo;s Stylish, Psychedelic and Symphonic Spin on Japanese History<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Moving on from Ghibli and post-Ghibli features, this August will <span style=\"color:#f39c12\">see the release<\/span> of a cutting-edge anime production, Masaaki Yuasa&rsquo;s <em><strong>Inu-oh<\/strong><\/em>. Yuasa is undoubtedly one of our greatest, most imaginative working directors, having spearheaded projects ranging from the whip-smart sci-fi drama <span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><strong><em>Kaiba<\/em><\/strong><\/span> to the Taiyo Matsumoto adaptation <em><strong>Ping Pong the Animation<\/strong><\/em>. Speaking of Matsumoto, he actually handled the character designs for <em><strong>Inu-oh<\/strong><\/em>, which bills itself as a &ldquo;revisionist rock opera&rdquo; from the 14th century. Yuasa does his best to fit music and dance sequences into even his most serious narratives, so I can&rsquo;t wait to see him tackle a genuine musical. Consider this one a must-see production!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Inu-oh\" src=\"https:\/\/img1.ak.crunchyroll.com\/i\/spire3\/5d6bff48c01415be9a39834f12ff1e841655394550_main.png\" style=\"width: 640px;height: 263px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While those are all major releases from highly established names, one film you might have overlooked is the gentle-seeming <em><strong>The House of the Lost on the Cape<\/strong><\/em>. The adaptation of an award-winning novel centers on two girls with nowhere to go who find sanctuary in the cape side home of an old woman. The story is being adapted by the ever-reliable Reiko Yoshida, and with <span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><em><strong>Non Non Biyori<\/strong><\/em><\/span> director Shinya Kawatsura spearheading the project, this quiet personal story seems to be in the best possible hands. No screening dates have been <span style=\"color:#f39c12\">announced as of yet<\/span>, but I&rsquo;m keeping a close eye on this poignant-looking production!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>RELATED:&nbsp;<span style=\"color:#f39c12\">The House of the Lost on the Cape Wins The 76th Mainichi Film Award&#039;s Best Animation Film<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Along with original film productions, this summer is also blessed by some major franchise releases, which Crunchyroll will be bringing to theaters in the US. The latest <span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><em><strong>Dragon Ball Super<\/strong><\/em><\/span> release <em><strong>SUPER HERO<\/strong><\/em> will be <span style=\"color:#f39c12\">arriving soon<\/span>, and promises to shine a major spotlight on both Gohan and Piccolo. Meanwhile, the recent <span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><em><strong>Fruits Basket<\/strong><\/em><\/span> adaptation will be capstoned by <span style=\"color:#f39c12\">a prequel film<\/span>, which will be revealing the full story of Tohru&rsquo;s mother Kyoko, and finishing this revival of the beloved manga in style. No word on <em><strong><span style=\"color:#f39c12\">One Piece<\/span><\/strong><\/em>&rsquo;s <em><strong>Film Red<\/strong><\/em> so far, but I&rsquo;m keeping my fingers crossed!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO\" src=\"https:\/\/img1.ak.crunchyroll.com\/i\/spire3\/d686701994c9ce02968287821d3c16031655489326_main.png\" style=\"width: 640px;height: 360px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And while not every anime feature is getting the theatrical treatment it deserves, we&rsquo;re still receiving theatrical features in record time compared to eras past. Among those films bypassing the theater system, we&rsquo;ll soon be getting the delightful <em><strong>Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko<\/strong><\/em> <span style=\"color:#f39c12\">on Bluray<\/span>, while <em><strong>The Tatami Galaxy<\/strong><\/em> sequel <em><strong>Tatami Time Machine Blues<\/strong><\/em> will be jumping <span style=\"color:#f39c12\">straight to Disney+<\/span>. We&rsquo;re living through an incredibly fertile period of anime film production and I can&rsquo;t wait to see some of these features with you all.
