Mamoru Hosoda, the man behind two unforgettable anime films (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and Summer Wars) is bringing us a new film titled Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki. The anime film is scheduled to be released to Japanese theaters in July 2012.
The story covers 13 years and begins with a 19-year-old college student named Hana who encounters and falls in “fairy tale-like” love with a “wolf man.” After marrying the wolf man, Hana gives birth and raises two wolf children — an older sister named Yuki who was born on a snowy day, and a younger brother named Ame who was born on a rainy day. The four quietly lived in a corner of a city to conceal the existence of the “wolf children,” but when the wolf man suddenly dies, Hana decides to move to a rural town far removed from the city.
