Saw One Piece Film: Red today, another great One Piece movie, up there with Strong World, Z and Stampede as one of my favourites. Had a fantastic soundtrack, the highlight of the movie by far, would see it for that alone even if you're not into One Piece much. The art and colours really popped as well, a lot of eye candy.


This and Inu-Oh coming out with the banger soundtracks this year.

Blue Thermal - Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme

Next year's Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme's anime film is Blue Thermal. Worth a watch, saw it at SLA and it's good fun.

The film is showing in 10 or so cinemas across the country. Personally I may go down to Dundee to see it again, depending if I've got the day off work.

The other films have been announced too, they're available here - Films - Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme

Thanks for posting! Might try to get to some of these this year.
 
Blue Thermal is showing at the arts centre near me, booked it for March 25th.

Out of all the anime movies in 2023 so far this is the only one to pop up in my area, no Slime, SAO (not interested personally but the last movie showed) or Kaguya. I can see Suzume showing up hopefully but pretty disappointing so far, I want to support these films (as well as enjoy them, of course).
 
Kaguya is hardly anywhere. I'm really going to struggle to make it to the closest cinema before it starts: 1.5 hours to get there on a workday. I wish they'd do these limited weekday showings later in the evening to give me a fighting chance since they don't announce the times/dates early enough to book time off, either!

Dunno what's going on with Vue, but they seem to have cut down the listings quite dramatically. We did have showings at our local Vue but both have been removed in the space of 24 hours, but I'm hoping they'll come back...

Yeah, I tend to rely on Cineworld these days. Our Vue hasn't shown any anime stuff in a while which is a shame as it was the easiest place for me and my friends to all get to, and the cheap tickets were a boon. Cineworld is fine for me as it's in walking distance from the office but awkward for others I know. To get to the local Odeon these days really requires a car as public transport options are limited and unreliable, particularly at night. We also have an Empire which gets the rare screening (we saw One Piece there) but the screens aren't the best and it could really do with a refurb.

Also for Vue I think they remove sold out screenings from their website so if you're seeing stuff disappear that might be why.
 
I'd really like to go see the Kaguya-sama movie, but my local Vue cinema (Aberdeen) doesn't have it listed, and the Cineworld website doesn't even recognise that the movie exists when I search for it...
It's difficult for anime movies to drum up much custom when even people who 1) know the movie exists and 2) actually want to see it can't find a showing anywhere.

Ah, nice! well I guess I may see you there, whoever you may be 😂 usually not many people are there for anime showings, there was literally one other guy there for Inu-Oh.

Funnily enough, I attended the 9th October screening of Inu-Oh. I missed out on both screenings of Goodbye, Don Glees due to work.

I'm on Twitter, using the same handle as here (albeit in CamelCase), and I usually use a photo of myself as my profile picture, so you'll be able to tell what I look like.

I forgot which date I saw Inu-Oh and I missed out on Goodbye, Don Glees as well as it was at an awkward time, even though the buses run late I'd rather not be in Colchester late when I don't have to, not the safest place in the world 😅

And ah, okay, well I'll be sure to say hi then!
 
I’m so sick of how poor it is to see anime in the cinema outside of the real big things (Ghibli, Shinkai etc) but this is really poor even by the usual standards

Edinburgh cineworld has only an 20:40 showing both days that’s it, a ridiculous time for anyone that doesn’t live locally
Vue and Odeon Edinburgh isn’t even bothering, I’m surprised cos that Vue has in the past been decent with anime movies

Edit: far as I can tell after lot of searching
Vue isn’t showing the movie in Scotland at all
Neither is showcase
Odeon only one venue in glasgow
Cineworld at least has multiple cinemas but the times are all very late

The Aberdream 😍

The official website has Cineworld listed, but no anywhere on the Cineworld website. Guess we'll see in an hour or so when next week's listings go up, they've been good at showing anime at Union Sq.

Edit: Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War - The First Kiss That Nev | Book tickets at Cineworld Cinemas 👀👀👀

Awesome! Cineworld is showing it on both the 15th and 16th, which is good, because the 15th is my wife's birthday and she'll kill me if I go off to see a random anime movie by myself then! (She's not seen any of the preceding three seasons so I'm not going to drag her to the movie).

I've seen quite a few anime films at Cineworld in Aberdeen recently - the last was the Reincarnated as a Slime movie, which wasn't that great TBH, but I really liked the Quintessential Quintuplets movie. I'm really looking forwards to Suzume when it comes out (hopefully in April?)
