A movie premiere was held on 14 March 2015, where the cast of Kyoukai no Kanata appeared to deliver their greetings. The cast members who attended were Risa Taneda (as Mirai Kuriyama), KENN (Akihito Kanbara), Minori Chihara (Mitsuki Nase), Tatsuhisa Suzuki (Hiroomi Nase), and Yuri Yamaoka (as Ai Shindo, who also hosted the event). The director of the series, and movie, Taichi Ishidate, was present at the premiere as well.
The cast began the stage greeting by reciting famous lines from their respective characters. Director, Ishidate Taichi, said that due to the complicated storyline of the anime, working on the anime again with the cast after a gap of 1 year a 3 months made him feel a greater sense of completion. While such serious dialogue was going on, KENN poked fun at Risa Taneda’s glasses, which made the audience burst out with laughter. The recording for the second installment had just ended, and Director, Ishidate Taichi, said that the staff involved in this movie worked towards making the movie be full of hope. This series was suitable to be made into a movie a as it has many cool fighting scenes and sound effects, said Risa Taneda. “Creating the perfect sound was a very important part of this movie,” says Tatsuhisa Suzuki. “The dance segment of the movie was really difficult to create, and we did a lot of cuts on it,” laughed director Ishidate.
