There’s no trailer available on the recently-updated official website for Mai Mai Miracle yet, but Shochiku has added a subtitled teaser to their English-language page for the film.

Plot: Shinko is an imaginative third-grader living in rural post-war Japan who, inspired by the stories told by her grandfather about their ancesters, often daydreams about what the world was like 1,000 years ago. Within her fantasies she travels all the way back to the Heian Period (794-1185). One day a new girl named Kiiko joins Shinko’s class and soon the two girls begin using the power of their imaginations to travel to the past together and have strange adventures.

The film is being produced by Madhouse (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Paprika) and directed by Sunao Katabuchi, assistant director for Hayao Miyazaki’s 1989 Studio Ghibli anime, Kiki’s Delivery Service, among others. Distributor Shochiku will be releasing it in Japan sometime this November.
