You know, I somehow never noticed prior to this festival that the National Lottery Hand Logo had a face on it.

Saw All You Need Is Kill again. Fun to spot some of the signposting early on in the movie to later events. Way more of that movie is well-processed CG than was immediately obvious. Continues to have no interest in being a straight adaptation of the novel or manga.

Imagining the alternate universe in which Angels Egg got a UK VHS release in the 90s, somehow resulting in one of those extremely British licensed microcomputer games in which you have to collect 800 bottles for some reason only tangentially related to the actual movie.

Saw Last Blosson again. Still great. Nana’s hairdo is frankly spectacular.

Saw Endless Waltz for the first time in goodness knows how long. Enjoyed Dorothy showing up for just long enough to sass out a bunch of guys (then have a really ostentatious gold truck pull up)

Saw Redline again. Pretty much completely lost track of how many times I’ve seen it at this point…

The Scotland Loves Anime promo poster is really cute this year, but I am worried that they seem to have replaced Ribbon Girl in their friend group.

Probably going to regret this about halfway through Redline this afternoon…

Saw Bloodlust again. Don’t really have much additional comment on it - shockingly, still a good movie. I should rewatch the 80s VHD again at some point.

Saw 100m again… apparently I have tickets to another screening at the weekend already…

Caught the SLA screening of Golgo 13. Almost always interesting to look at, though Duke Togos deadpanning of every situation aside, seems to have gone down like a palette of lead bricks with an audience who were largely seeing it for the first time.

I wouldn’t call any of the instalments of the Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26 anthology bad, though I do have my favourites. Kinda easy to call out Love is Blind as a highlight, as it’s nice to see Takeuchi pull out All The Hits again visually in the middle of an anthology in a way that makes it stand out.

Actually pretty rare to see a +2 enshrined in a museum rather than a 48k rubberkeys.

I hadn’t actually seen any You’re Under Arrest prior to seeing the movie last night. That they got Kenji Kawai to do the movies score sure didn’t do much to dispel my impression of it being We’ve Got Patlabor At Home given it’s distracting similar to that for Patlabor 1. Yoriko seems fun. Mikan Box.

It hasn’t actually been that long since I last saw Project A-Ko, but still think it’s a neat movie.

Saw ChaO again yesterday. Liked it a little more the second time. The director spent most of the following QA session at the screening making funny gestures with his Chao plush, which was pretty cute.

I can’t even begin to describe Labyrinth, the new movie by Shoji Kawamori. If you are familiar with, say, Aquarion, then you know he can get pretty out there sometimes. Imagine a Hosoda Internet Movie filtered through the lens of Arjuna and you might be about 50% of the way there, though. Loved it.

I think I prefer the Cruise movie overall, but the ALL YOU NEED IS KILL anime feature is a pretty substantial retake on the concept, so it’s still going to be interesting even if you are familiar with it in other forms.
Shasta actually barely appears, but I think her design here was pretty cute.

ChaO has one of the most incredibly senses of physical humour I’ve seen in anime, and it’s full of really fun design (I like the little guy who carries a big lens sheet to magnify his face). Even then, though, it kinda struggles to make up for a story I… wasn’t particularly enamoured with.

There were a few minutes after the intro where I was starting to get worried that 100m might be a little too orthodox looking a movie after the directors previously wild Ongaku. I needn’t have been worried, though the design of that one girl in the highschool arc did just make me think of Mob100.

Shockingly, Redline is still a remarkably, generously entertaining movie. Kind of forgot about the direct Lupin callout during the Lynchman PV, which is pretty funny the day after seeing the last Koike Lupin movie.
