Science SARU Full CG Film: Theatrical Release by 2028

Science SARU, co-founded by director Masaaki Yuasa, is renowned for its highly distinctive, fluid, and often experimental 2D animation style (e.g., 'Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!'). This prediction states that the studio will release a major theatrical feature film that utilizes entirely 3D CG animation, moving away from its core 2D identity, before the end of 2028.

Style vs. Efficiency

The high 'No' vote is due to the studio's strong brand identity centered on 2D excellence. A full 3D pivot would be a shock.

However, the 'Yes' scenario is driven by:

  • **Technological Necessity:** The increasing demand for efficient production timelines and the maturation of 3D tools that mimic 2D aesthetics (like those used in 'Lupin III: The First').
  • **Creative Ambition:** A director at the studio seeking to tackle a project that is geometrically or action-intensive beyond the capabilities of traditional 2D.

The prediction is highly specific, hinging on the studio's internal production strategy, with the deadline set to the end of 2028.
