Anime

The Fuji TV's +Ultra 2022 Lineup Presentation livestream announced on Thursday a new original television anime by Tsutomu Nihei (Sidonia no Kishi, Blame!) and Polygon Pictures titled Ooyukiumi no Kaina (Kaina of the Great Snow Sea). The presentation also revealed the main staff, teaser visual (pictured), and a teaser promotional video. The anime is scheduled to premiere on Fuji TV's +Ultra programming block in Winter 2023.

Hiroaki Andou (Ajin, Listeners) is helming the anime at Polygon Pictures. Sadayuki Murai (Sabikui Bisco, Pet) and Tetsuya Yamada (Sidonia no Kishi, Juuni Taisen) are penning the script.

Ooyukiumi no Kaina commemorates Polygon Pictures' 40th anniversary.

Synopsis
A world blanketed in an endless and ever-growing ocean of snow. The people eke out a living, either huddled around the roots of enormous trees dotting the surface, or high in the canopy, which spreads over the planet's atmosphere.

A chance meeting between Kaina, a youth from the canopy, and Liliha, a young woman from the surface, sets off a chain of events that will change the fate of the world. (Source: Polygon Pictures)
