Takayuki Hirao (the brilliant director behind Pompo the Cinephile) is back with a brand-new original theatrical project called Wasted Chef, officially announced by KADOKAWA!
Blending sci-fi with cuisine, the film takes place in a world where the concept of taste has completely vanished. The official tagline gives goosebumps: βThat day, βyouβ and βtasteβ vanished from the world.β ππ
It's already been selected for the Annecy Animation Showcase at the 79th Cannes Film Festival and is eyeing a 2027 theatrical release. The teaser visuals look absolutely stunning!
