BLUE RIGHTS provided this description of the film (via Anime News Network):
Kukulkan is a kingdom sustained by sound waves.
Born with a power known as “Hizumi,” Agni was abandoned by the royal family and grew up surrounded by his guardian and friends.
His power awakens Orochi, a force of calamity believed to have died a thousand years ago.
When Orochi awakens, he calls Agni “my son.”
Who is Agni? What is this power for?
To protect those he loves, the boy confronts the threat he has awakened.
An epic adventure begins as sound and myth resonate together.
Orochi -Seventh Echo- will be BLUE RIGHTS’ first film project. Previously, the company, founded by former MAPPA executive Makoto Kimura, has worked on anime such as The Boxer and Perfect Addition. It also recently released a pilot film for the upcoming series Ninja Skooler. The company also worked with neNna on “とけて煌る”, which was featured in the anime Saved By the Ice Cold Prince’s Embrace.
