Quintessential Quintuplets has released a brand new trailer and visual for the upcoming original animated film continuing the story of the Nakano sisters. A new English title and additional theatrical release details have also been revealed.
Tokyo Broadcasting System's official YouTube channel has released a new trailer for The Quintessential Quintuplets*, now with a new English title called The Quintessential Quintuplets Specials 2. Continuing from the 2022 film, Futaro Uesugi and the Nakano sisters – Ichika, Nino, Miku, Yotsuba, and Itsuki – are having fun in the sun, as they celebrate their honeymoon after their grand wedding. Unlike the previous anime special, which adapted leftover material from the manga, The Quintessential Quintuplets Specials 2 is an entirely new anime story overseen by series creator Negi Haruba.
The Quintessential Quintuplets Specials 2 will have a three-week theatrical run in Japan before its initial broadcast. Theatrical screenings will begin on September 20, 2024. According to Anime News Network, limited screenings will also be held in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei, and Thailand. Masato Jinbo, the director of The Quintessential Quintuplets Movie, will return for the new animated special. Bibury Animation Studios, which worked on the film and The Quintessential Quintuplets 2, will once again be in charge of animation. Series character designer Masato Katsumata will also return for The Quintessential Quintuplets Specials 2.
“The long-awaited honeymoon episode, based on an original idea by Negi Haruba and supervised entirely by him, is brought to life,” anime distributor Pony Canyon describes The Quintessential Quintuplets Specials 2. “We bring you the daily lives of Futaro and the five quintuplets as adults! Futaro, who has been successfully guiding the five quintuplets who are struggling with their studies and dislike studying, works as a part-time tutor until they ‘graduate.’ Although each of them achieves their dreams and goes their separate ways, it seems that each of them has some worries… In the midst of this, Futaro and the quintuplets plan a trip to Hawaii that doubles as their honeymoon. Just as preparations are going smoothly, an incident occurs, causing a huge panic! And even in Hawaii, their honeymoon destination, they find themselves caught up in trouble…!? A romantic comedy about five adorable quintuplets, honeymoon version──!!”
