Gothicmade: Hana no Utame (also known as simply Gothicmade) is an anime film directed by Mamoru Nagano, originally released on November 1, 2012 in Japanese cinemas. The film had a rather long and drawn-out production process, with its initial website having appeared online in early 2006. While it was planned to only be 30 minutes long, it was eventually extended into a full 70-minute film. It was animated by a studio known as Automatic Flowers Studio, who had not done any other work and have not done any work since.
The film was never announced for any kind of home video release for unknown reasons, and repeatedly appeared in Japanese cinemas for limited amounts of time until early 2016.
One theory behind the reason the film was never released outside of theaters is that Nagano was dissatisfied with the film due to its long production and receiving lukewarm reviews from critics. In contrast, another theory states that Nagano believed the film could only be experienced in a theater setting due to its 4k animation, and as such has refused any sort of downgraded home video release.
