The opening sequence arrives as the film's release date approaches. The story follows Kotetsu, a space pilot trainee who hears about the possible existence of aliens and drives the whole academy to search for them. The film will feature both anime footage and real footage of space.
The project traces back to Yūji Nishimura's web manga, which launched on August 6, 2019, just after the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing, and has since posted a chapter every other Monday for free. The manga follows Kotetsu, who aspires to be an astronaut, and his friends at the Animal Space Academy. The television anime ran two seasons on NHK Educational, the first from April 2021 to March 2022 and the second from April 2022 to February 2023. The film's cast reprises those roles.
