Essential Anime

Overview

Anime lovers young and old, ride the catbus down to ACMI, for a week-long program of Japanese animation. Running from Monday, December 14 through to Sunday, December 20, Essential Anime will showcase a trio of beloved titles from the early career of Hayao Miyazaki, alongside feature-length adaptations of iconic TV shows including Naruto and Dragon Ball Z.

Presented via original 35mm film print, the Miyazaki leg of the program boasts two of his most outstanding works: My Neighbour Totoro and Princess Mononoke. Joining them will be one of the director's lesser known gems, Laputa: Castle in the Sky.

Meanwhile, those who grew up watching Cheez TV can find out what's been happening with Goku and friends with the newly produced feature film Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'. Rounding out the program are Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo and Boruto: Naruto the Movie.
