Gkids가 10월에 온가쿠 감독의 '100미터'를 배급합니다.

100 Meters (Hyakuemu), the upcoming film from director Kenji Iwaisawa (On-Gaku: Our Sound), is set to race into US theaters this October via distributor Gkids.

The film will hit Japanese screens on September 19. It’s based on the track and field manga by Uoto, who’s also known for creating Orb: On the Movements of the Earth. Aside from Iwaisawa, the film is made by:

Character designer/animation director: Keisuke Kojima (My Isekai Life)
Art director: Keikankun Yamaguchi
Music: Hiroaki Tsutsumi (Dr. Stone)
Screenplay: Yasuyuki Muto (Gundam Hathaway)

It stars Shota Sometani (Parasyte) as Komiya and Tori Matsuzaka (Library Wars) as Togashi, and is animated at Iwaisawa’s Rock’n Roll Mountain. Like On-Gaku, it’s animated using rotoscoping.

Here’s how Gkids describes the movie:

100 METERS follows Togashi, a track star who is born to run. As a kid, he is naturally gifted and wins every 100-meter race without effort. But in sixth grade, he meets Komiya, a transfer student who is full of determination but lacks technique. In teaching him, Togashi gives Komiya a new purpose: to win no matter what. Years pass by, and Togashi and Komiya meet again as rivals on the track and reveal their true selves.
