GKIDS is celebrating its 15th anniversary as an anime and animation distributor now. To celebrate this occasion, they’ve decided to finally reveal the theatrical release date for the anime film Lonely Castle in the Mirror by animation studio A-1 Pictures (Sword Art Online, Lycoris Recoil, Nier: Automata Ver1.1a). According to them, this anime film adaptation of the Japanese novel of the same name by Mizuki Tsujimura will make its debut in theaters on June 21 and June 22, 2023 only. Yes, that means this anime film will only screen for those 2 days. If you want to watch this anime film after those dates, you’re going to have to wait for the Blu-ray release, or possibly for Crunchyroll to stream it if they ever do.

Lonely Castle in the Mirror will premiere in theaters in the original Japanese audio with English subtitles. Or in English dub if you really want to watch it. You can purchase tickets for either version at the anime film’s official website.
