The highly anticipated science fiction animation Make a Girl , directed by Gensho Yasuda , has had its premiere officially postponed by Sato Company. Originally scheduled for release in Brazilian cinemas in 2025, the feature film will now be released in December , with the exact date to be announced soon. The film promises to combine auteur aesthetics, advanced technology, and questions about consciousness and affection.
Based on the short film Make Love , also directed by Yasuda, the feature film was made possible through a crowdfunding campaign held between August and October 2022. The initial goal of 10 million yen was easily surpassed, reaching almost 24 million yen , which demonstrates the enormous public interest in the project.
The story takes place in a future where domestic robots are part of everyday life. It is in this setting that Akira , a young robotics genius, decides to create his ideal partner: android No. 0. The project is born as a technological triumph—a synthesis of programmed perfection.
The central conflict begins when No. 0 develops genuine emotions and starts to reflect on his own existence. Are his feelings for Akira real, or merely the result of a line of code? This doubt sets in motion a journey of identity, consciousness, and artificial love.
The film promises a sensitive and visually striking approach to human relationships and artificial intelligence, with Yasuda serving as director, screenwriter, character designer, and art director.
The voice cast includes Atsumi Tanezaki , Shun Horie , Toshiki Masuda , Sora Amamiya, and Youji Ueda . The production is by Aniplex and Studio Kadokawa, and distribution in Brazil is handled by Sato Company.
