THE FILM WAS DELAYED 

The film was originally scheduled to release in summer 2020. However, the film staff announced in November 2019 that the film would be delayed due to "various circumstances". Their statement assured that the director and the entire staff are hard at work to create a film that would "meet the expectations" of their fans. 

KYOTO ANIMATION ARSON

On July 18, 2018, the Kyoto Animation's first Studio building suffered an arson attack which resulted in the demise of 36 people and injured 33 people. 

FREE! FRANCHISE 

The latest addition to the popular Free! Franchise was Free! ~ Road to the World ~ Yume (Dream) which opened on July 5th, 2019 prior to the arson attack. The film was a 'reconstruction' of the television anime series Free! Dive to the Future and a 'bridge' to the upcoming film.
