NEW INTERPRETATION RECORDS OF THE BAKUMATSU PERIOD Teaser: Yuichi Fukuda Spoofs The End Of Edo With His Newest Period Comedy

Director Yuichi Fukuda is back at it with another period romp that now comes with a teaser and poster as of Tuesday for New Interpretation Records Of The Bakumatsu Period. If the title itself sounds peculiar then you might be forgiven if it seems like Fukuda is taking a similar approach following his 2020 riff, New Interpretation Records of the Three Kingdoms.

At any rate, this one is billed as a comedic spoof of the Bakumatsu era which signaled the end of the shogunate. Fukuda reteams here with his Gintama and Under Ninja cohorts, Jiro Sato and Tsuyoshi Muro in their first enterprise together as leads, and with Toho setting a theatrical release date for December 19, we have an official teaser and poster to share.

150 years ago, Sakamoto Ryoma and Saigo Takamori, who would later be called heroes of the late Edo period, rose up to change the future of Japan. Through a tumultuous era in which revolutionary events were repeated, the story eventually leads to the end of the Edo Shogunate, which had lasted for 260 years, and the dawn of a new Japan! There was a story of battle and friendship that no one could have imagined.

It’s not often I get to talk about period comedies like this, but I know who Sato and Muro are and personally like their work, and I think it’s pretty dope that they and Fukuda are working together again.
