Rock and roll time has been extended as it was announced today that the crowdfunded 10th-anniversary compilation film for Penguindrum (known as Mawaru Peguindum in Japan) is splitting into two films under the title of RE:cycle of the PENGUINDRUM, both films are set to be released in 2022. Not only that but the films will see new footage and animation.

RE:cycle of the PENGUINDRUM‘s crowdfunding campaign, which was only open to Japanese residents, raised 105,192,960 yen (US$957,606) against a funding goal of just 10 million yen. The excess funds are going towards the production of the film, as well as other activities for the 10th anniversary of the TV anime series, including a special backer-only screening of the completed film with director Kunihiko Ikuhara, as well as general screenings of the film and merchandise for the celebration. 

RE:cycle of the PENGUINDRUM, a two-part compilation film of the original 2011 TV anime with new elements, will be directed by Kunihiko Ikuhara, with character designs by Lily Hoshino, with the TV animation having being done at BRAIN’S BASE and the theatrical edition by Lapin Track. The films are scheduled to be released in 2022.
