FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sentai Filmworks Falls in Love with Sci-Fi Romance “Fragtime”

HOUSTON, TX  November 18, 2019 — Sentai Filmworks announced today that it has acquired exclusive rights to Fragtime, the feature-length anime adaptation of the sci-fi shoujo-ai manga series of the same name, for distribution in the United States, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Latin American, Nordic Countries, the Netherlands, South Africa, Spain and Portugal.

Shy Misuzu Moritani is a totally average girl — except for her totally insane ability to stop time for three minutes a day! She uses her power to observe her classmates without fear of being noticed in return. But her secret doesn’t stay that way for long. Misuzu learns her power has no effect on her school’s idol, Haruka Murakami, when she’s caught sneaking a peek under her skirt. Against all odds, a relationship blossoms from this compromising situation, one as poignant and as fleeting as the three minutes Misuzu spends each day in frozen time.

Fragtime is produced by tear-studio (Why the hell are you here, Teacher!?, The Royal Tutor Movie, Lord of Vermilion: The Crimson King) with music from Rionos (Kase-san and Morning Glories, Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms, Children of the Whales); Takuya Satou (Strawberry MarshmallowGirls Beyond the WastelandSTEINS;GATE) will direct and pen the film’s script. Miku Ito (BanG Dream! S2RE-KAN!How clumsy you are, Miss Ueno.), Yume Miyamoto (Kids on the Slope, Mushishi, Ghost Hunt) and Chika Anzai (ChihayafuruScum’s WishKOKKOKU) star as Misuzu Moritani, Haruka Murakami and Yukari Kobayashi, respectively.

The feature’s North American premiere will be held at Anime NYC on Saturday, November 16, in room 1E13 at 1:30 PM EST, where guests will hear exclusive behind-the-scenes stories from Fragtime producer Yusuke Terada and principle seiyuu Miku Ito.
