Kurayukaba and its spin-off Kuramerukagari , two original anime feature films written and directed by Shigeyoshi Tsukahara, will release in Japanese theaters simultaneously on April 12, 2024, starting at Theatre Shinjuku and other theaters. Kurayukaba is a mystery movie — with a Taisho-era romantic atmosphere and powerful gadgets — following the detective Soutarou as he unravels a mass disappearance and steps into the underground world known as "Kuragali." The director Tsukahara held three crowdfunding campaigns for the film project in 2018, 2020, and 2021 — all of which reached their goal and raised enough money to produce the entire film. In August 2023, the film won the Gold Prize in the Audience Award for Best Animated Feature Film at the 2023 Fantasia International Film Festival .
