The official website for the anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day anime announced that the upcoming film will open on August 31. The list of theaters will be provided later. The website also posted the second piece of key visual art (pictured above).

The original Spring 2011 television anime followed several childhood friends who try to reconnect in high school after drifting apart due to tragedy. The film will retell the anohana story from the character Menma's point of view. Tatsuyuki Nagai is returning to direct the film at A-1 Pictures .
