You have to go and see this. I am thankful England already got Redline months ago, but a couple more showings over here wouldn't hurt. Oh and I have seen the Professor Layton movie and I thought it was amazing. I haven't even played the games either. Don't judge a book by its cover.

depends on how much tickets are gonna cost since there showings on there own i think. but i'll be seeing all of them minus layton if i can spare the momey mayb i will. hoping to get some ppl to go see SW

The Sci-Fi London Anime All-Nighter lineup should be released next month. They'll probably have Trigun and Haruhi as well, but all I care about is Redline! Although I would love to see Welcome to the Space Show as well. Can't wait for the BFI's next Anime Weekend either. Their lineup is always impressive, the only downside is having to pay for every film individually. I guess there are full festival tickets but they'll be expensive.

By the way, there is an interesting documentary on BBC Three tomorrow about some 14 year old girl who became popular in Japan after uploading videos of herself dancing on YouTube. The Adult Season has been really good so far, especially the 'Glamour Models, Mum and Me' documentary. I'll definitely be watching the one mentioned above.

[Niall!]

Why doesn't Belfast have any of this stuff

England and Scotland actually get loads of premieres and exclusive anime films. Sometimes I think we even get more than America. Tales From Earthsea is released in yank land tomorrow when we got it over here three years ago. There is actually a very dedicated anime following in the UK, or at least for anime movies anyway. There must be some screenings in Ireland. I know there are a few small-ish conventions at least.

There is actually an anime convention tomorrow for anyone in the Leicester area. It's called AmeCon and is running from August 13th to August 15th. It is actually one of the largest anime conventions in the UK. Guests include Brad Swaile, Akemi Solloway, Wendy Powell and 1 secret guest to be revealed at the convention. As always there will be loads of stuff to buy and people to meet and Beez are going to reveal their new anime licenses. They posted some clues...

License #1: sounds like a film released in the same year as Sword of the Stranger, but really isn't like it at all!

License #2: is all about the music, and isn't K-On!

License #3: Another slightly older title and one you have asked for again and again since its release in 2007!

License #4: you already know as it went through the BBFC and technically already was announced. It's a straight to AL set from Bandai Entertainment's past. - This one is most likely The Big O.
