A poster and trailer have landed online for director Isamu Imakake’s animated fantasy Dragon Heart: Adventures Beyond This World.
The film sees two teenagers, cousins Ryusuke and Tomomi, rescued by a dragon when they are swept away in the Anabuki River. But upon encountering a mysterious hermit, they discover they are dead and are offered the opportunity to be resurrected if they can journey through the realms of the spirit world and discover their purpose.
The Japanese voice cast includes Yusuke Kobayashi, Chinatsu Hirose, Shigeru Chiba, Tetsuo Komura, Rica Fukami, and the English dubbed version features the voice talents of Zach Aguilar, Ren Holly Liu, Rick Zieff, Brook Chalmers, Wendee Lee, and Valerie Arem. Check out the trailer below…
When junior high students Ryusuke and his cousin Tomomi are swept away by a raging river, a mysterious dragon rescues them — only to reveal a devastating truth: they have died. Offered a rare chance to return to life, the two must journey through the spirit world and uncover their purpose.
Their adventure begins in a nightmarish 1960s-style town filled with violence, torment, and souls trapped in endless suffering. But hell is only the first stop. From there, they ascend into Shambhala and realms beyond, meeting gods, spirits, and guides who test their courage and awaken their mission.
A sweeping animated odyssey, Dragon Heart – Adventures Beyond This World blends myth, spirituality, and coming-of-age emotion into a bold, visually striking adventure that asks: What is your purpose in life — and what would you face to reclaim it?
Dragon Heart: Adventures Beyond This World is set for a digital release on March 3rd.
