Kino's Journey
Shaft's next work, "Assault Lily Bouquet", however, did not feature any involvement from Shinbo whatsoever, the first time since 2007 ("Kino's Journey: Country of Illness -For You-") that he was not involved with one of the studio's large projects. In 2021, he returned to the director's chair with an adaptation of Nisio Isin's "Pretty Boy Detective Club", which he co-directed with Hajime Ootani. In April of the same year, it was announced that "" (2013), the final film in the "Madoka Magica" trilogy remake, would receive a sequel with Shinbo returning as chief director, and the 2nd season to "Magia Record" was announced to be airing in July, again with Doroinu chief directing and Shinbo supervising the animation.
