Happy weekend people!

Happy Hour Film Image 2

The summer 2015 anime season is winding down now and so I am preparing to embark upon one of those lengthy autumn season guides for Anime UK News. Stop by at the site to see some of the Japan-related events that are due to take place which I post on the front page and not here.

This week saw me posting about the London Film Festival and the Kotatsu Japanese Animation Festival. I’ve got one more festival to cover this month before heading back to reviews.

What’s released in Japan this weekend?
