The anime adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s breathtaking manga Review finally has a North American release date after being acquired by GKids. The anime film that shocked Hideo Kojima to the core has been praised by fans of Chainsaw Man Creator Tatsuki Fujimoto. With a heartbreaking story and beautiful art direction, Review is not only a contender for the anime film of the year, it stands tall alongside The Boy and the Heron as anime film of the decade.

As TheWrap reports, anime distributor GKids Review in North American cinemas on October 4. The release will feature the original Japanese audio with English subtitles. There is currently no information known about a possible English dub, but if there were a release, one would likely have to wait until the film is available either via streaming or on home media.

The reviews were consistently positive

Based on the acclaimed manga by Fujimoto. Review tells the story of a young artist named Ayumu Fujino. Although Fujino creates her manga with passion and confidence, her self-perception changes when another artist in the class, Kyomoto, begins publishing her own manga, which Fujino considers to be artistically superior.
