Child of Kamiari Month Anime Film's Trailer Unveiled More Cast, Releasing on October 8

On Friday, the official website for Cretica Universal's Child of Kamiari Month (Kamiari no Kodomo) anime film project began streaming the film's full trailer. The trailer features a preview of the film's theme song "Kanna" by singer-songwriter miwa, as well as new cast members and the film's October 8 release date.

Kou Shibasaki plays Kanna's mother Yayoi Hayama , and Arata Iura plays Kanna's single father Norimasa Hayama .

In July of this year, the film was shown for the first time at the Anime Expo Lite event.

Kanna, the protagonist, is voiced by Aju Makita (live-action Shino-chan wa Jibun no Namae ga Ienai's Kayo), who loses her love of running after her mother dies. Shiro, a one-winged rabbit messenger of the gods, is voiced by Maaya Sakamoto (Escaflowne's Hitomi, Fate franchise's da Vinci and Jeanne), and Yato, an oni boy, is voiced by Miyu Irino (Spirited Away's Haku, Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE's Syaoran). Both appear before Kanna and accompany her to Izumo. The month of October is known as "Kannazuki" in the traditional Japanese calendar ("the month of no gods"). However, in Izumo, October is known as "Kamiarizuki" ("the month of gods") due to a legend that the gods of Japan gather at Izumo Shrine during this month.
