Studio CloverWorks has unveiled a striking new trailer for its upcoming theatrical anthology project GROTESQQQUE. The latest promotional footage zeroes in on the segment titled NOCTURNE: NUIT GROTESQUE, offering an immersive look at its kinetic visual style and featuring the insert theme song TINY LUCK performed by singer-songwriter Kairi Yagi.
Creative Vision and Pedigree
Helmed by Atsushi Nishigori—renowned for his directorial and design work on Darling in the Franxx and The Idolmaster—the omnibus film serves as a boundary-pushing creative showcase. Nishigori acts as overall director, scriptwriter, and original character designer. Alongside him, color designer Kazuko Nakajima (Wonder Egg Priority) and compositing director Yuya Sakuma bring a vibrant, stylized atmosphere to the production.
The voice cast draws talent from the popular Japanese idol group Nogizaka46, featuring:
- Nagi Inoue as Ayame
- Aruno Nakanishi as Shion
- Miku Ichinose as Momo
- Nao Tomisato as Kanna
Anthology Structure and Release
Produced in collaboration with JOEN and Aniplex, GROTESQQQUE weaves together three distinct narratives: A(E)LIENS, YOROSHIKU★Girl, and NOCTURNE: NUIT GROTESQUE. Following its international festival run, including a world premiere at the Fantasia Film Festival and a North American screening at the Japan Society in New York, the film is scheduled to hit Japanese cinemas on November 6, 2026.
