Mirage Queen Anime Film Opens in Thailand on February 3

Japan Anime Movie (JAM) Thailand began streaming a trailer on Saturday for Mirage Queen Prefers Circus (Kaitō Queen wa Circus ga Osuki), the theatrical original video anime (OVA) based on Kaoru Hayamine‘s Kaitō Queen wa Circus ga Osuki (Mirage Queen Aime Cirque) novel. The trailer reveals that JAM Thailand will screen the film in Thailand on February 3 to 5.

The 60-minute anime opened in theaters in Japan in June 2022.

Yūga Yamato (Sailor Moon stage plays as Tuxedo Mask) starred in the anime as Queen.

HIDIVE licensed the anime in North America, and it describes the anime:

They always steal the prey they aim for. That is Phantom Thief Queen. Gender, age, nationality unknown. Together with their partner Joker, RD, they travel around the world on the airship Troubadour. This time, the Queen is aiming for a cursed jewel, the legendary Rose of Linden. A hypnotist, an acrobat, a magician…the talented circus members challenge the Queen! What is their purpose? In order to get back the jewel, the Queen stands up to the challenge in a bold and brilliant way (or disguise). Nothing is impossible for the Queen!

Saori Den (Pokémon episode director) directed the project at East Fish Studio, and Mariko Kunisawa (Ascendance of a Bookworm, Orient) wrote the script. Kumiko Kawashima (Fantasista Stella) designed the characters. Moe Hyūga (Steins;Gate 0, If My Favorite Pop Idol Made it to the Budokan, I Would Die) composed the music. Toshiki Kameyama was the sound director at Bit Groove Promotion. Pony Canyon distributed the anime.

The anime commemorates the 20th anniversary of the novel series. Kadokawa published the first novel under its children’s book label Aoitori Bunko in March 2002 with illustrations by K2 Shōkai. The latest novel shipped in July 2021. The project marks the first time the franchise is getting a video adaptation. The anime shares the same title as the debut novel in the franchise.
