The Anime Movie The Deer King will be released on Sep. 18, 2020. And what's more Ando Masashi, character designer and animation director of "Your Name", "Spirited Away", and "Princess Mononoke", will be part of the crew.
The original work of "The Deer King" is an adventure novel by Uehashi Nahoko, also known for the live-action drama series "Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit".
