Anime at the cinema

[Hanners]

The London screening screening of Night is Short, Walk on Girl, complete with Masaaki Yuasa Q&A on Monday 11th September is now available for booking - you know what to do!

(Yes, we know they have the guest labelled wrong on the screening listing right now, it's getting fixed!)

Tickets are still available in Glasgow too for Saturday 9th, if that suits better.

Very tempted by the Ancient Magus' Bride. Love the manga.

Fanathon: Animation Sunday - LIFF31
Sun 5 Nov
Victoria Hall

We love animation at LIFF and as well as our Oscar-qualifying World Animation Competition for shorts, we present a marathon annual celebration of animated feature films. Our selection of five films this year includes Mutafukaz, a riotous French / Japanese sci-fi hip-hop crime fantasy from Ankama and Studio 4°C. Big Fish & Begonia is a bold and breathtaking adventure from China about a dolphin-girl who sacrifices her immortality to rescue a human boy. Plus, in its 20th anniversary we present Satoshi Kon’s cult anime classic Perfect Blue.

Anyone here going to LIFF on sunday?

 

[Baggie_Saiyan]

Looks like I'll be going to Pokémon twice on Sunday... One at 11am with a friend and the one at 2pm with some other friends. Just hope the film is not trash as it looks...

I'll be attending a 16:30 on Monday for Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You on the old Unlimited Card. Just need to decide what I will go watch before that!

Went and saw the Pokemon movie today It was quite nice to see it on the big screen, the last Pokemon movie I saw at the pictures was the very first one. I got the Pikachu card and don't forget to stay after the credits ended

Enjoyed Fireworks just now but the ending was quite abrupt.

That would be cool on the big screen, but as usual with a lot of these things the nearest one to me is f***ing London although bloody Lewes of all places might sneak it!

My local Picturehouse is having a mini Ghibli season. 6 films over 6 consecutive Sundays:

I don't think work would like me asking for Sunday off for 6 weeks in a row so I'll have to pick and choose. Probably Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away.

↑ Just learnt that Mary and the Witch's Flower's going to be on at Dundee DCA soon. I know it's had some stick, and I'm not exactly a fan of director Hiromasa Yonebayashi, but I definitely want to see it.

The majority of criticism I've heard is related to it being childish. That sort of appeals to me though because I'm childish anyway - it helps me not feel my age.

The majority of criticism I've heard is related to it being childish.

I'll totally reserve judgement as ever, and go into it hoping to enjoy it, as I always do. I mean, I did want to like Arrietty and Marnie, but I just... couldn't. I really don't think Yonebayashi's that great a director when pitted against my favourites.
