アーマー姿も描いてたんだけど、こっちはお顔が気に入らないのでもう少し寝かせておきます……。『トップをねらえ2』以来ワタシの心をとらえて離さない、この末端先細り造形。最高。【枢】 pic.twitter.com/lPbIzPFt7V

GKIDS announced on Thursday that it has licensed the film for release in North America. The company will hold a premiere event for the film on September 17 and 19, and the film will then open in select theaters on September 20. GKIDS describes the film:
Thirty years has passed since the appearance of Burnish, a race of flame-wielding mutant beings, who destroyed half of the world with fire. When a new group of aggressive mutants calling themselves “Mad Burnish” appears, the epic battle between Galo Thymos, a new member of the anti-Burnish rescue team “Burning Rescue,” and Lio Fotia, the leader of “Mad Burnish” begins.
The film opened in 200 theaters in Japan on May 24, and ranked at #8 in its opening weekend. The film has earned a cumulative total of 494,277,000 yen (about US$4.55 million) as of June 16. Anime Expo announced on Tuesday that this year's convention will host the North American premiere on July 5
Toboso's past fan art has featured works like My Hero Academia, Fate/Grand Order, and Kuroko's Basketball.
