Anime at the cinema

I was surprised how full my screening was, probably around 70% full, showed up as almost fully booked online so a fair few didn't turn up.

Even Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero still has a fair few going to see it, I saw it again before Free and there was around 10 of us.
 
September 21st-22nd for Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island (subbed and dubbed) from Crunchyroll
Update to this: from here
UPDATE 9/9/22: Due to recent events, the screenings featured within the United Kingdom have been removed from this article. We will update the article with more information on the release when available.
 
Looks like they're going ahead as planned. Listing has popped up for my local Vue and the CR article has been updated to state the UK screenings have been readded.
Seems Wednesday will be the sub showings and Thursday is dub. Nowhere local so I'll be trekking out for a subbed showing.

Not a dub hater but the modern Gundam dubs often squeeze out the emotion you get from the Japanese cast.

Gundam has always had a dub problem imo, between swapping VA's between seasons etc.

I really loved the dubs for Origin and the movie trilogy compiled from 0079 (was so sad they didn't include the dub on the blu-ray for the movie trilogy!) :)
 
For me it's mostly that a lot of the modern stuff often understates high emotion. There are moments in stuff like Thunderbolt and NT where we hear terrified death screams in Japanese whilst in the dub it's like "Oh, I died. Bugger."

When your franchise big message is "war is hell" it's bizarre to see the dubs undercut the moments that bluntly show that.
 
Currently only 7 tickets sold for the O2 showing.

A friend points out poor advertising likely hasn't helped, but what a blunt reminder my hobby is a niche here.
