Anime at the cinema

Tempted to see Demon slayer infinity castle at its only showing in bournemouth tomorrow. But worried about being overwhelmed by fast visuals, with fast subtitles, emotional rollercoaster story and its 3 hour runtime (I struggle a bit 2hrs 10ish in most films)....or wait god knows how long for bluray release to then watch it dubbed, then subbed, at my own speed, with breaks when needed, at home. Such a quandry.

I dropped Demon Slayer S1 after an episode but really enjoyed Mugen Train. It was reduced in HMV.
I decided to go and see Infinity Castle.
It is long. I thought it gave me enough downtime between the fights.
Very glad I did.
 
Something called ChaO is coming to my local theater in April. I haven't been able to find out much about it but what I've seen looks interesting.

Japanese Film Festival? Anime Limited posted info about it in their latest cinema newswire. It's getting a wider release later this year.

Also check your cinema as they may also be showing Millennium Actress.

It's a Japanese take on The Little Mermaid with a comedic angle, set in Shanghai. You'll need to scroll down a bit but you can read my impressions of it here: Scotland Loves Anime 2025 • Anime UK News

They're basically doing nationwide screenings of stuff that was at Scotland Loves Anime last year, alongside some other select films they either have licenses for (like Eva, Millennium Actress etc...) or have licensed recently (like Akira).

I did a little more research on ChaO and it looks to be outside my wheelhouse so I'll probably just pass on it.
