Event has previously held numerous U.K. and EU premieres at Edinburgh and Glasgow.

According to a message on the Scotland Loves Animation facebook page, the Scotland Loves Anime event will return in October 2012.

In the last two years, the event has taken place at both Glasgow and Edinburgh, and included several EU or U.K. premieres of anime titles. In October 2011, the line-up included Colorful, A Letter to Momo, Armored Trooper Votoms: Pailsen Files, In the Forest of the Fireflies (Hotarubi no Mori e), Mardock Scramble: The First Compression and Mardock Scramble: The Second Combustion. The guests included several anime professionals from Japan, including Votoms creator Ryousuke Takahashi.

In October 2010, the line-up included Trigun: Badlands Rumble, One Piece Film Strong World, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya and Summer Wars.

Scotland Loves Animation is a non-profit charity for the promotion of animation in Scotland.

Me and my mate were actually speaking about this the other day.
So anyone been last couple of years?
Whats on your wishlist to be shown?
Is there anyway to make suggestions?
 
If they somehow get Eva 3.0 I will book my train ticket the very second I hear the announcement :D

The new Hosoda film would also be brilliant, though I'll probably have already seen it so it's less likely to influence an excursion.

If that somehow comes to happen, I may have to travel to Scotland for the first time.
 
If you want to make suggestions, speak to Andrew from Kaze.

As for the past events, 2010 was great. We got Redine, Trigun and The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. 2011 was pretty dull though since there were no big features aside from Mardock Scramble.
 
Yea 2010 was good an i thought 2011 was a bit meh.

All i was gonna suggest was the 2 Gurren Lagann films. Got a bunch of people who would go and see if they showed it.

Wouldnt mind seeing Eva 3.0 and the new Fullmetal alchemist film.
 
To be honest, i actually enjoyed 2011. I think the primary issue i had with it, was that instead of going down the route they took with 2010, they went for lesser known films, and even a film yet to debut in japan. Most of the titles where good. There was maybe an exception or two, Tekken in English(though it was unintentionally hilarious) and five cents where both lackluster/confusing. But overall, the films did get better as the nights went on.

I think SLA will only improve, if they can get Berserk, Eva 3.0, Mardock 3(though i'm not sure if that is out this year) then throw in a few other ones some may not know off, they will probably have the right balance. So yeah, i'm very much looking forward to the next one in october.
 
Yeah, I think Berserk would probably be top of the 'do want' list at the moment. Wouldn't be adverse to them raking out any interesting older titles either, were there not much else of note released this year.
 
Addressing points in no real order:

- Eva 3.0 is uncertain, no actual date is announced. People are hard at work on it and if it is possible we'll make it happen, but it may well be very late 2012 or even 2013 for release - hard to tell just now.

- 2011 line up was a victim of circumstance - not every year has a AAA brand name titles that are accessible sadly. There were only 2 real titles that slipped by programming, one of which came out in December in Japan and isn't allowable for screening yet abroad.

(Can't say I'm complaining at what we did programme though - but I can see why feedback from certain sectors is as above in this thread too and the reasons behind it. Sufficed to say, this year should be pretty shiny in that sense though.)

Lots of planning underway just now and I'll have more to talk about in Spring. There are a lot of films on my list this year, some of which haven't been made public yet...exciting times for all :).

Look forward to seeing folk there this year hopefully though! If you have any suggestions too or queries feel free to fire a mail over at andrew AT lovesanimation DOT com :).

What about something similar in the UK.
The last few times I've seen something listed in the England they only typically tend to visit say London, Manchester and Birmingham, it'd be nice to see some spread out in more places with shiny films, as there are plenty more bigger towns and cities in the UK that surely have potential. The success of the Collectormania they hold each year in Milton Keynes should attest to that, it always seems packed whenever they hold it.

I'm happy to drive a bit, but when you have to drive more than a few hours each way just to get there it gets a bit silly :)

With a K-ON movie set partially in London, what better time than to launch 'England Loves Anime' ;)

Can't you just show one classic per year? I know you (or maybe it was Mr Clements) said at SLA that the catalogue of feature length anime was exhaustible, but surely even one per year is enough? If the success of Akira in 2010 is anything to go by, I'm sure you could get lots of people in by showing HD versions of stuff like Ghost in the Shell and Ninja Scroll.

I'd travel to the moon if I knew the K-ON! movie was there.

Definitely - classics are on the cards in their own right so we'll be going back to that too within reason :).
 
I have already posted my hopefuls for this year somewhere on here, but, as a reminder, Kizumonogatari is very very important, if at all possible.

I'm keen on this, but it does hinge on it actually being complete on time as again no firm release date has been issued even in private yet.

I thought that would be the case. Still if you somehow get a chance to get Kizumonogatari Andrew, It would get make me very excited.

Depending on my finances and work, I would love to go again this year, I really enjoyed last year's movies.

Goddam SHAFT and their haphazard schedules. :( I suppose it was always going to be a bit of a reach with them doing Nise this year, too, so I wouldn't be too surprised at a December release in Japan, or even a delay to next year.

Thanks for the info, though.
