The staff of the anime “ACCA 13-Territory Inspection Department” have come together to produce the film, with director Natsume acting as director and scriptwriter, character concept by Natsume Ono, the original author of “ACCA 13-Territory Inspection Department,” character design by Norifumi Kugai, and animation production by Madhouse.

The tentative title “ghost” refers to the true, unspoken feelings that exist in everyone’s hearts, and the film is a challenging work that lyrically depicts the loneliness and bravery of Nike, a young girl who rebels against the absurdity of the world to protect the “starry sky,” as well as the emotional subtleties that come from her interactions with others. Director Natsume said, “I want to create a work that pursues reality and reflects the current times with an animation that could be considered fiction.”
