    I saw this news today, but wasn’t sure whether this should be “anime” or not. The working definition I have had up to this point is if a title has either an AniList page or a MAL page, then it is good enough for me to be included here. That being said, there are some occasions where posts about a series get made when it is newly announced and those pages don’t exist yet. However, this project was announced a year ago and neither site has created a page for it yet.

    As far as I can tell, this movie has a Japanese director from the anime industry, but most of the rest of the production is being done by Warner Animation, a US company. I believe the marketing and main voice work has been primarily done in English as well. These kinds of things are likely why a page hasn’t been made for the movie yet.

    I am open to discussion among members of this community about whether this movie should be fair game for posts or not going forward. I am going to leave this up and see if others have thoughts.
