Overview
A genuine cultural phenomenon in Japan and a growing influence on animation worldwide, anime enjoys a strong cult following in Australia. Fans will lap up the films on offer at this year's Reel Anime festival, which includes two reboots of legendary anime series. Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not Redo) is part three of the reinvention of the legendary Neon Genesis Evangelion series, while Ghost in the Shell: Arise is the first instalment of the mega-popular Ghost in the Shell's new series and takes place in the near future as the world recovers from World War IV.
Ghost in the Shell screens with writer director Makoto Shinkai's The Garden of Words, a melancholy story of a teen who dreams of becoming a shoemaker and an unlikely friendship he forms with an older woman. Then there's A Letter to Momo, which was seven years in the making and has drawn comparisons to the phenomenal Studio Ghibli, producers of masterpieces like Princess Monokone and Arriety.
