A gorgeous return to Studio 4°C's steampunk world that kicks off a brand new chapter by dropping Lubicchi into a surreal realm frozen in time, establishing amazing emotional stakes for his journey through grief. The mystery of the clock tower stuck at 11:59 is such a cool setup, and the dizzying 3D textured animation of the Millennium Fortress is absolute beautiful.

nice MC!

yo this new poupelle movie is wild. lubicchi gets stuck in some weird time zone where the clock is frozen at 11:59. the tactical goal is literally just fixing a giant clock to get home but the vibes are so sad without poupelle fr Hahahaha.

Episode Context

This feature-length standalone sequel to Entotsu-machi no Poupelle trades the original's sense of shared wonder for something quieter and more melancholic. Studio 4°C's signature visual artistry remains breathtaking, but the tone here skews surreal and introspective, a deliberate, emotionally heavy fantasy built around grief and unkept promises. Lubicchi navigates a strange, time-frozen world alone, and the pacing reflects that solitude, leaning into character-driven exchanges over spectacle. Interactions with the ethereal plant spirit Nagi and the bitter clockmaker Gas give the story its emotional texture. Fans of the original should expect a more muted, reflective register, less whimsy, more weight. This is the kind of entry that rewards patience and sits with you after the credits roll.
