Saku Sakamoto begins production of new animated short film called ''Calabi-Yau no Sukima''

The official website of Saku Sakamoto's The Feast of Amrita (Amrita no Kyōen) anime film announced the start of the production of Sakamoto's latest short animated film titled Calabi-Yau no Sukima (The Gap of Calabi-Yau) on Wednesday, and revealed a teaser visual. 

The new short animated film depicts the horrors of the "six-dimensional world" — similar to the Calabi-Yau complex manifolds — that humans fear. 

The short film's release date and cast will be announced at a later date. 

Sakamoto ran a successful crowdfunding campaign to help fund the Aragne: Sign of Vermilion anime on the Japanese crowdfunding platform Makuake. The project met its 2 million yen (about US$17,800) goal in March 2017. The staff then ran a successful Kickstarter campaign for an English translation and funds to screen the film at festivals. 

The Feast of Amrita, the prequel spinoff of Aragne: Sign of Vermilion, premiered in Japan in May 2023. The film was originally planned for release in 2021, but was postponed due to COVID-19.
