Several of Hirao's closest collaborators will be joining him on the production of "Wasted Chef." Among them is Kenta Matsukuma, the musical composer responsible for the soundtrack of Pompo. While there is no official release date yet, it is expected that the film will be released in Japan in 2024 or early 2025, with international distribution to follow.

Hirao’s previous film, Pompo the Cinephile, showcased his unique style and explored the challenges and rewards of live-action filmmaking. And now, he has been announced as the director for an all-new, original IP anime film.Īccording to a report from Anime News Network, Hirao is set to write and direct an original theatrical anime film that is currently being referred to as “Wasted Chef.” Although details are scarce at this time, it is believed that the film may have a cooking theme, given the title. In his latest film, 2021’s Pompo the Cinephile, he masterfully blends shojo-style animation with broad appeal, showcasing his talent for creating visually stunning theatrical animation. Hirao's unique usage of color and composition is evident throughout his diverse projects. His impressive repertoire includes directing the TV anime series and OVA of Namco-Bandai’s God Eater RPG adaptation, the Junji Ito horror manga adaptation Gyo, and the shojo-fantasy anime Yoyo and Nene. Takayuki Hirao has made a name for himself as a highly skilled anime director, known for blending popular franchise anime with a unique shojo anime flair.
