Not familiar with the film? Saekano The Movie: Finale is the an anime film adaptation of the eighth to final volumes of the Saekano light novel series. The previous novels in the series were adapted in an anime series of the same name, meaning the Saekano movie serves as the final for the anime series.

The movie is described by Aniplus Asia as:

Meanwhile, Tomoya and Megumi join hands with their new members and various other parties to produce their new game.
What will become of Eriri and Utaha’s major work? Will the relationship between Tomoya and Megumi change? And what will be the ultimate fate of blessing software’s new game?“
