Adolescence of Utena June 21 & 22

 

Oh woah, The Princess Utena Movie is coming to theaters in a wide release this June?!? We remember seeing this awe-inspring film in late cable days. Never did we think we'd get to see this ultra-insane visuals of this film on the big screen. Do yourself a favor if your into Sailor Moon visuals or just any spectacle of anime.

Don't worry, the story won't make sense, but it'll look damn pretty as it unfolds. And, look out for that castle, we think it's coming after you.

"ADOLESCENCE OF UTENA is a standalone genre classic that brings together the creative genius of director Kunihiko Ikuhara (Revolutionary Girl Utena, Sailor Moon), writer Yoji Enokido (EVANGELION franchise), and art director Shichiro Kobayashi (ANGEL’S EGG) with J.A. Seazer’s transcendent music. Straddling the line between fairytale and surrealist opera, the film stands as a bold display of the ways social roles chain us— and demands we smash through them."

Technically what happens: "Utena enrolls in the prestigious Ohtori Academy on her quest to become a prince, and stumbles into a mysterious cabal of students dueling for possession of the “Rose Bride.” The role belongs to their classmate Anthy, an enigmatic girl who equally captivates and confuses Utena. While fending off powerful rivals, Utena must uncover the secrets surrounding Anthy and her own desires. As the relationship between the girls intensifies, their thirst for freedom crescendoes into a need for revolution."

Yes, the darkness returns, not the best way to start the summer, but a damn dark way, mwa-hahaha. Join the bleak, but don't drown in it! Seriously, these are not uplifting movies of the human experience nor are they just horror. Their existential dread and deeply emotional human human dramas...in possibly in the best sound and quality you're gonna see in a theater.
 
This collection of the saddest in cinema takes its toll on your soul.

The Furious Is Out This Month

Woah, gotta give some credit to Lionsgate. They've screwed up bitterly with AI, but when they steer clear of it and let real people plan things out it gets me interested and promoting it here. We have both a new poster from their poster series and a better look from the BeyondFest screening.

Which ever execs are into AI, FIRE THEM! This hype and connection to people is so much gonna work more Lionsgate.

Mina the Hollower Finally Out

Unlike Disney, this is a small studio, so we totally give them leeway with taking forever on releasing a game. We'll have a review out eventually, but it's old school addictive fun. 

Stop Being Such A Jack@$$ And Just Watch It

That's a lot of @$$
