This year marks a decade of Scotland Loves Anime, bringing one of its strongest line-ups to date as it continues to bring a varied look at the world of Japanese animation from 11-13 October.
This year’s festival brings a wealth of artistic masterpieces to Glasgow, headed up by the latest film from Your Name director Makoto Shinkai, Weathering With You, alongside new original films from other beloved directors such as Masaaki Yuasa (Ride Your Wave), Keiichi Hara (Birthday Wonderland) and Hiroyuki Imaishi (Promare).
2019’s special guest is Yuhei Sakuragi, who returns to deliver a Q&A session following the UK premiere of his film, The Relative Worlds.
Meanwhile, the exhilarating cult classic Redline returns to lead a lap of honour celebrating ten years of the festival, and the Mystery Film even makes a return for this anniversary year!
