The official YouTube of the film Kamiarizuki no Kodomo by Cretica Universal published the first trailer for the film this Saturday (08/08).
The film was scheduled to release in 2020, but was postponed to 2021 due to COVID-19 .
Kamiarizuki (the month that has no gods) is another name for October in the lunar calendar of the Izumo region, inspired by the myth that gods from all over Japan go to the Izumo Taisha shrine that month. In other areas of Japan, it is called Kannazuki (the month that has no gods).
