Monster Strike the Movie: To the Beginning

This theatrical animation is based on the popular mobile game app "Monster Strike," released in 2013. Following the original anime version, which was released on YouTube in October 2015 and garnered rave reviews for its in-game puzzle-solving mechanics, this latest film follows the anime adaptation. Set in Japan shortly after "Monster Strike" was released, the story unfolds as a young boy named Ren searches for his missing father and rediscovers his memories. Elementary school student Ren Homura and his three teammates, who are helping develop "Monster Strike," witness a dragon in the basement of a research lab that shouldn't exist in the real world. Ren and his team embark on a journey to return the dragon to its true form, but their destination is also the place where Ren's archaeologist father disappeared. The story is written by Yoichi Kato, who also worked on "Yo-kai Watch," and the script is by Taku Kishimoto, who also worked on "Haikyu!!" and "Erased." The film is directed by Shinpei Ezaki, who also worked on "Gunslinger Stratos." The film features voice actors including Maaya Sakamoto, Nana Mizuki, and Koichi Yamadera. A4 size flyer included
