GROTESQQQUE Film Shares Darling in the FRANXX Collab Art Ahead of November Release

The upcoming anime anthology film GROTESQQQUE has released two collaborative promotional visuals featuring characters from Darling in the FRANXX. The three-part movie is scheduled to premiere in Japan on November 6. Studio TRIGGER shared these images to highlight connections between the projects, particularly focusing on director Atsushi Nishigori, who helmed both series. One visual pairs Zero Two with Elie, a character voiced by Kana Ichinose, who also played Ichigo in the earlier show. Another image depicts Zero Two interacting with the heroine of the segment titled Yoroshiku★Shoujo. Masayoshi Tanaka, the chief animation director for Darling in the FRANXX, serves as an animation director for this specific part of the anthology. The film consists of three distinct stories written and directed by Nishigori at CloverWorks, featuring various voice actors and production staff.
