Sunrise has announced its development of an anime feature film adaptation of Taku Mayumura’s 1976 juvenile sci-fi novel Nerawareta Gakuen (“Targeted School”). The novel has been adapted into a 1981 live-action feature film, an eleven-episode 1982 live-action TV series, and the 1997 Nerawareta Gakuen: Messiah From the Future live-action film. The novel revolves around a high school boy who rebels when he discovers that a ruthless time-traveler from the future has taken over his school’s student council. Ryosuke Nakamura (Moryo no Hako) will direct the anime film for release this fall.
