Sunrise and SHAFT Launch First-Ever Anime Collaboration Teaser

Sunrise and SHAFT have sparked major excitement by announcing their first-ever collaborative anime project. The studios unveiled a joint X account and a teaser video built from color scripts that hint at the project's atmosphere and visual direction without revealing characters, plot, or title.
The full announcement is scheduled for late June 23 at 24:30 JST, following a five-day countdown. Details on the story, format, staff, and release window are still under wraps.
Sunrise brings its legacy of epic storytelling and large-scale productions, including the Gundam franchise and Code Geass. SHAFT contributes its signature stylized approach seen in Puella Magi Madoka Magica and the Monogatari series. The pairing promises a fresh creative fusion.
As Sunrise marks significant anniversaries and SHAFT continues its current slate of adaptations, this cross-studio effort stands out as one of the most intriguing production developments in recent weeks.
