Must-See Films at L.A. Anime Festival

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Sunday April 20, 2003 @06:53PM from the tom-and-jerry dept.

May Kasahara writes "The first annual Los Angeles Anime Festival is being held May 2-15. Among other films screening at the festival are Studio Ghibli's The Cat Returns (making its US debut), Memories, and all nine episodes of The Animatrix. However, the film I really want to see is the trippy-looking Tamala 2010: A Punk Cat In Space. More information, including a full schedule of events, is available here."

Will someone show Kodocha? by axolotl_farmer · 2003-04-20 19:07 · Score: 5, Informative

The list of anime to be shown makes envious...why are there never any anime festivals here in Sweden...

Is Kodocha ever shown at anime festivals. This is the funniest shoujo anime I've seen. There a a bunch of torrents over at Animesuki.

Enjoy!

I haven't wanted to see anime since I was 6 and Astroboy was on.

That's your loss. Anime is a style not a target audience. Boycotting all movies presented in a particular style is incredibly stupid. Learn to distinguish the quality from the drek and you'll find entertainment everywhere, even in anime.
