Tokyo flooded by a rain of gravity-defying bubbles and isolated from the rest of the world becomes a playground for lost children doing battle in team-based parkour competition. It sounds like a game. Instead, it’s a new original anime movie called Bubble, written by Puella Magi Madoka Magica scribe Gen Urobuchi and directed by Attack on Titan’s Tetsurō Araki.
As pointed out by Polygon, the first trailer for Bubble could very well be the animated opening for a wild, open-world platforming game. Perhaps some sort of evolution of the free-running action of EA’s Mirror’s Edge series. Wrecked by these mysterious bubbles, Tokyo twisted towers make for the perfect parkour proving ground, with teens running up collapsed towards, sliding through the rubble, climbing upended train cars, and bouncing off the bubbles lingering in the air.
