Expelled from Paradise Film Collaborates with Rascal Does Not Dream Visual

The upcoming anime film Expelled from Paradise: Resonance of the Heart has unveiled a new collaboration visual featuring characters from the currently screening Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dear Friend movie. This promotional artwork reimagines key art from the 2018 television series, placing Gabriel and her companions at the center of the design. The crossover highlights the simultaneous theatrical presence of both titles in Japan.

Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dear Friend opened in Japanese cinemas today. It is directed by Soichi Masui at CloverWorks, with scripts by Masahiro Yokotani and character designs by Satomi Tamura. The original light novel series was written by Hajime Kamoshida and illustrated by Keji Mizoguchi, published under ASCII Media Works' Dengeki Bunko imprint. Yen Press handles the English localization.

Expelled from Paradise: Resonance of the Heart will begin its Japanese theatrical run on November 13. Directed by Seiji Mizushima with a screenplay by Gen Urobuchi, the film reunites the creative team behind the 2014 original. The story follows Angela Balzac, an agent investigating a hacker on Earth while inhabiting an organic body.
