Aniplex released the 90-second final trailer for the theatrical anime Mahoyo on September 30, confirming Soujuurou Shizuki, voiced by Yusuke Kobayashi, among the cast. The same day, a special program announced the theme song: "Yoru to Ao" by supercell, with lyrics, composition, and arrangement by ryo and vocals by Yanagi Nagi. Mahoyo is based on the TYPE-MOON visual novel written by Kinoko Nasu and is animated by ufotable. The film opens in Japanese theaters on November 20, with screenings set for 347 theaters nationwide and an overseas rollout beginning with a U.S. release on January 29 that covers more than 45 countries and regions. Advance tickets go on sale October 2 in two versions: a newly drawn character visual by original character designer Hirokazu Koyama and a special key visual, with an A5 acrylic plate bonus offered through Aniplex Online.
The third lead is a boy who transfers into Aoko and Alice's high school. Soujuurou comes from the mountains to the city, and the synopsis frames his meeting with the apprentice mage and the witch as the point where their ordinary days begin to change. Haruka Tomatsu plays Aoko Aozaki and Kana Hanazawa plays Alice Kuonji.
Hideyuki Fukasawa is composing the music, Sho Takeuchi directs, and Moe Tsuzuki handles character design. Masato Nagamori is chief animation director, Yuichi Terao is director of photography and finishing director, and Hikaru Kondo is general director. Toho and Aniplex are distributing. The story is set in the late 1980s, and the original visual novel shipped for PC on April 12, 2012.
The release project "Let's Watch Together! TYPE-MOON × ufotable" adds streaming to the rollout:
- Theatrical Kara no Kyoukai series, moving from pay-per-view to flat-rate streaming
- Theatrical Fate/stay night [Heaven's Feel] series, also moving to flat-rate streaming
- A limited-time ABEMA special channel carrying a free marathon broadcast of TYPE-MOON and ufotable works
- A collaboration visual marking the film's release and Fate/Zero's 15th broadcast anniversary, set for 20:00 on October 1
- A Mahoyo stage at Machi Asobi vol.31 in Tokushima City on October 18, with Tomatsu and Kobayashi appearing
Streaming start dates and the ABEMA channel's opening date are still to come. Supercell is described as an internet-born unit formed around ryo; its 2009 single "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari" was the Bakemonogatari ending theme, and in 2010 it released "Hoshi ga Matataku Konna Yoru ni" as the Mahoyo PC game's ending theme.
