Reel Anime Film Festival 2011
Those with a passion for anime have something a little more than a passion - obsession is perhaps a better word. Luckily for them, the leading purveyors of anime here in Australia are importing the latest flicks straight from Tokyo to be screened in cinemas in our own backyard.
Overview
Those with a passion for anime have something a little more than a passion. Obsession is perhaps a better word. So while I may be frustrated waiting for the next season of Mad Men, this is nothing compared to what those awaiting the sequel to Evangelion have suffered.
Luckily for them, the leading purveyors of anime here in Australia (namely Madman) are importing the latest flicks straight from Tokyo to be screened in cinemas in our own backyard. The line up includes Summer Wars, blending summer holidays, teenage romance, mathematics and avatars into a whirlwind adventure. King of Thorn is a action horror-thriller drawing on the disparate genres of science fiction and fairy tales. The highlight, however, is arguably Evangelion 2.0, with 1.0 being screened also for those of us who are slightly less educated but keen to catch up.
