The extended cut of the anime movie In This Corner of the World is now streaming outside of Japan for the first time ever.
The longer version is titled In This Corner (And Other Corners) of the World, and it features 39 minutes of extra footage – which, remarkably, makes it the longest animated film ever made at a runtime of 168 minutes. The Sunao Katabuchi-directed wartime drama is available on anime streaming serviceCrunchyroll.
In This Corner of the World revolves around a woman named Suzu who, in 1944, moves to a town just outside Hiroshima to live with her husband’s family. Facing immense hardship and, unbeknownst to them, nuclear devastation, the movie is a touching portrayal of the strength of community amid unknowable horrors.
