The Ten Count Production Committee announced through its social media and official website that the Ten Count anime movie has been canceled. The Ten Count animated film was slated to release in theaters in 2023, but missed its release window.
The production committee stated that due to production reasons, they had to cancel the the Ten Count anime film. The film was originally planned to be developed by East Fish Studio and SynergySP. East Fish Studio is known for its in-between animation, key animation, and contract animation support work on various series like Tokyo Ghoul: re, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Black Clover, and Pokemon. SynergySP has worked on series like Mr. Villain’s Day Off, Beyblade, Hayato the Combat Butler, and Initial D Fifth Stage.
The anime adaption of the Ten Count manga series was initially announced as a television series back in 2018. It was then later delayed when the production committee decided to reconsider the adaption’s format. The social media and official website for the Ten Count anime film will be closed on March 31, 2024.
The production committee provided fans with a message regarding the cancellation of the film:
Ten Count originally started as a boy’s love manga series by Rihito Takarai which ran in Dear+ from 2013 to 2017. The story focuses on a corporate secretary named Tadaomi Shirotani who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, and while undergoing treatment by his psychiatrist Riku Kurose, he begins to feel attracted to the other man as they begin to delve deeper into curing his mysophobia through exposure therapy.
The Ten Count manga was published in English by SuBLime in the United States, and the anime is now no longer happening.
