How moving TOTTO-CHAN is. A remarkably empathic exploration of social difference set against a sensitively-explored wartime backdrop, it's scored by the composer of Whisper of the Heart Plays Picturehouse Central tonight with director in attendance, I highly recommend!

Day 2 of the London leg and what a packed day it is! ⛏️ KureYukaba + Short 🎹 The Colours Within 🎨 Look Back x 3 screenings Book your tickets here: bit.ly/picturehousesla

I just saw Look Back, an anime about a manga (originally in Shounen Jump) about two girls becoming friends by their love for drawing. They take a journey of becoming Manga kas. It's 58 mins, go watch it, you will feel nostalgic 💗

We’ve just seen Look Back as part of Scotland Loves Anime (London Screenings). It’s such a good movie and adaptation of the manga. Bonus points to SLA for getting Jonathan Clements to introduce it. Scotland Loves Anime

Finally attended a Scotland Loves Anime festival... in London! Was an absolute dream catching The Colors Within again after attending the LFF screening. Naoka Yamada always delights 💕 Scotland Loves Anime

That's the last day of this year's Scotland Loves Anime upon us. Playing at the Picturehouse Central: ⚒️ KURAMERUKAGARI & Short 🐈‍⬛ Ghost Cat Anzu 🎙️ Trapezium 🎸 A Few Moments of Cheers Book your tickets here: bit.ly/picturehousesla

Took a breather from my own festival prep to see GHOST CAT ANZU at SLA. A Lilo & Doraemon of sorts, it takes cues from both Japanese and Western animation to poignant effect. The rotoscoping is fantastic. I laughed every time there was a shot of this cat's face. A special film.

After a busy festival, it strikes us that we never got around to sharing the winner of the 2024 Scotland Loves Anime Audience Award. So, without further ado, we're delighted to confirm that The Colors Within is your Audience Award winner for 2024. Thanks to all who voted!

Four terrific anime movies at the GFT this August - don't miss them!
