Anime enthusiasts have something exciting to look forward to with the announcement from GeeXPlus, Dwango, and Kadokawa's internet influencer talent agency. At the Anime Expo panel, they unveiled their latest venture: GeeXProductions, a new IP division with a promising lineup that includes the anime short film Bâan -The Boundaries of Adulthood- by popular YouTuber Gigguk.
A New Vision: Bâan's Theatrical and Digital Release
The much-anticipated Bâan -The Boundaries of Adulthood- is set to premiere theatrically at the Grand Cinema Sunshine in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, on August 24. Following its theatrical release, the anime will also be available on Gigguk's YouTube channel, complete with a behind-the-scenes feature. Fans can enjoy the anime in both Japanese and English dubs.
The Story of Bâan: Crossing Boundaries
Dual Worlds: Reality and Fantasy
Bâan -The Boundaries of Adulthood- revolves around the lives of two protagonists, Arai Daichi and Rinrada Ratchamanee. Their journey takes place between two realms: the real world in Japan and the imaginary world of Euthania, interconnected through a mysterious warp gate.
Daichi, a 21-year-old, is tormented by familial conflicts, compelling him to escape into the mystical world of Euthania. In contrast, Rinrada, a 19-year-old from Euthania, seeks to venture into Japan, driven by a desire to explore beyond her hometown.
Discovering Euthania: A World of Wonder
Euthania, the fictional realm featured in Bâan, is characterized by its serene climate and diverse fantasy races, inspired heavily by Thai and Southeast Asian mythology. Despite its peaceful facade, Euthania is not devoid of dangers, home to formidable monsters that add an element of thrill to the storyline.
Meet the Creative Team
The anime boasts a talented team under the direction of Yoshimitsu Ōhashi, known for his work on Galaxy Angel, Witchblade, and Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture. Complementing Ōhashi’s direction is the enchanting music composition by Kevin Penkin, celebrated for his contributions to Made in Abyss and The Rising of The Shield Hero.
Introducing the Cast
The characters of Daichi and Rin come to life through the voices of Shōya Ishige and Haruna Mikawa, respectively, adding depth and emotion to their animated personas.
Beyond Bâan: Future Projects
GeeXProductions is not stopping at Bâan. They are also developing other intriguing projects, such as Dillon Goo's original 12-episode 3D Blender animation Soul Mart, a franchise that extends into a comic series, and OtakuVS's indie animated short series Otachan! Rabbit Season.
