Charming Trailer For Anime Ghost Story Film Called OKKO'S INN
If you enjoy watching anime, we’ve got a great trailer here for you to watch today for an adorable new film from GKids called Okko’s Inn.
The film is a charming looking ghost story film that was created by famed anime studio Madhouse and director Kitaro Kosaka, who was a key animator for several classic films from Studio Ghibli. He “seamlessly blends immersive, idyllic landscapes with the storybook charm of Okko’s beloved ghosts.”
The film is said to deliver “a rare ghost story that – despite several floating characters – is firmly grounded in the trials and joys of humanity.” Here’s the synopsis that was released:
After losing her parents in a car accident, Okko goes to live in the countryside with her grandmother, who runs a traditional Japanese inn built on top of an ancient spring said to have healing waters. While she goes about her chores and prepares to become the inn’s next caretaker, Okko discovers there are spirits who live there that only she can see – not scary ones, but welcoming ghosts who keep her company, play games and help her navigate her new environment. The inn’s motto is that it welcomes all and will reject none, and this is soon put to the test as a string of new guests challenge Okko’s ability to be a gracious host. But ultimately Okko discovers that dedicating herself to others becomes the key to taking care of herself.
Okko’s Inn will be released on April 22nd. For ticket information, click here.
