#Make A Girl Releases Main Trailer and Visual

The Make A Girl anime movie has received a main trailer and main visual ahead of its January 31, 2025 JST Japanese release.

The new trailer previews the newly announced theme song “Kasei” by Eve.

Make A Girl is the creation of Gensho Yasuda and is based on his 2020 Blender-made short Make Love. KADOKAWA describes the premise as:

The story takes place in the near future: Akira Mizutamari, a scientific genius who succeeded in developing and commercializing SALT, a robot that supports people’s lives, finds himself stuck in a rut when all of his new inventions fail. After hearing from a friend that he can “power up” by creating a girlfriend, he does literally that and scientifically creates an “artificial” girlfriend named “No. Zero”. Torn between her programmed emotions and her growing feelings, No. Zero starts to waver. Is it “love” that buds between her and Akira, who is unaccustomed to communicating with others, or perhaps something else……?

A crowdfunding campaign for Make A Girl with a 10 million yen target ran from August 2022 to October 2022 and raised 23,730,805 yen (~US$152,421). Another crowdfunding campaign, made for increased quality and completion purposes, ran from September to October 2023 and raised 23,176,413 yen.
