Ina Yukimitsu<\/b><\/a> is directing the anime adaptation, with <\/span>Kensuke Ushio<\/b> (<\/span>The Colors Within, DAN DA DAN<\/span><\/i>) as music composer. <\/span>Sasayuri<\/b> is in charge of the animation production.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the anime\u2019s main voice cast stars <\/span>Hikari Mitsushima<\/b> as Mayu and <\/span>Marika Ito<\/b> as San.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Machiko Kyo<\/b>\u2019s <\/span>Cocoon<\/span><\/i> manga was serialized in Akita Shoten\u2019s Elegance Eve from March 26, 2009 to May 27, 2010. It was collected into a single book volume and released in Japan in August 2010. The series<\/a> was published again as a single tankobon volume in April 2015, which includes a side story.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

NHK stated when the anime was <\/span>announced in June 2023<\/span> that it is meant to serve as a thought-provoking work about war, and noted that 2025 will mark the 80th year since the <\/span>end of World War II<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Another aim of the production was to pass on animation knowledge and techniques. <\/span>Cocoon<\/span><\/i>\u2018s animation production company, Sasayuri, was originally a cafe founded by the anime\u2019s animation producer <\/span>Hitomi Tateno<\/b> (<\/span>The Wind Rises<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Ponyo<\/span><\/i> in-between animation inspector) in 2014. The company was established in 2017 and includes animation-related training among its functions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sasayuri Cafe has been closed indefinitely since late 2020. It hosted a large number of art exhibitions, including the Jin-Roh Hiroyuki Okiura Exhibition, the Cyberconnect2 Art Works Exhibition, and Anime Style 20 Anniversary Exhibition Part 2 #Yoh Yoshinari Doodles\u200b.<\/span><\/p>\n
