‘The Stranger By The Shore’ – LGBTQ+ Anime Film Coming To Funimation!

Funimation has announced that the anime film directed by Akiyo Ohashi, The Stranger By the Shore, will release exclusively on on their service on July 9th! The film will be be available subbed, and dubbed in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Also, the film’s run time is 59 minutes.

Here’s the plot synopsis for the film:

The Stranger by the Shore follows the love story of Shun Hashimoto, an aspiring novelist, and Mio Chibana, a grieving young man, who both find more than they bargained for during a time of transition. As each day passes, both young men find themselves in an ever-unique, undisturbed voyage of friendship and romance. But self-doubt, family, acceptance, and fear will challenge these young men, as nothing worth fighting for goes without taking chances.

The anime film will be dubbed by an English voice actor cast, including Josh Grelle: Shun, Justin Briner: Mio, Morgan Lauré: Eri, Bryn Apprill: Suzu, Amber Lee Connors: Sakurako, Jessica Cavanagh: Auntie, and supporting cast Steph Garrett: Young Mio, Brittney Karbowski: Mio’s Mom, Mary Morgan: Young Shun, Monica Rial: Shun’s Mom, David Wald: Shun’s Dad, Ciarán Strange️: Mimi’s Bar Employee, Brandon McInnis: Wada.  

The film is based on Kanna Kii’s L’étranger series manga, and I promise you, it’s so good. Kudos to Funimation getting the license to stream The Stranger By the Shore, and I can’t wait to watch it.
