Cheers to Thursday!
Anime was a big part of my early years. When I was younger, I would spend the most of my afternoons, if not all of them, binge-watching episodes of the television series Dragon Ball Z, Attack on Titan, and Fairy Tail. In Dallas, I even went to a number of Fan Expo gatherings.
Even though I’m not as enamored with anime as I used to be, I’m still going to several screenings this weekend at the Modern Film Festival.
The festival, which has been held at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth since 2012, will feature five Japanese films to demonstrate the variety of anime produced in the twenty-first century. Read on to learn more about the films in this year’s lineup.
See the complex narratives of anime on the big screen.
This year’s festival features the anime flicks Ghost Cat Anzu, A Silent Voice, The Colors Within, Millennium Actress, and The Place Promised in Our Early Days.
