For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more Sailor Moon, and so, we’re continuing on, with episodes 181 through 186 of the 1992 series, the definitive magical-girl anime. This is the completely unabridged, unexpurgated, uncensored, Japanese version of the show, including everything that the English dub butchered, altered, and/or cut, which is quite a bit. Tonight’s episodes see the continuation of the Sailor Stars arc, which features a brand-new theme song and a slew of new sailors.
After that is A Scanner Darkly (2006), a rotoscoped sci-fi thriller from Richard Linklater, based on the Philip K. Dick story of the same name and made in similar style to Linklater’s earlier Waking Life (2001), which we previously watched. A future cop, played by Keanu Reeves, takes a new drug that causes him to lose his grip on reality. A whole bunch of weird and surreal encounters ensue, largely involving one-sided conversations with various eccentric characters. Looks cool; let’s watch.
We’ll start 8PM EST on Hextube right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies

For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more Sailor Moon, and so, we’re continuing on, with episodes 175 through 180 of the 1992 series, the definitive magical-girl anime. This is the completely unabridged, unexpurgated, uncensored, Japanese version of the show, including everything that the English dub butchered, altered, and/or cut, which is quite a bit. Tonight’s episodes see the continuation of the Sailor Stars arc, which features a brand-new theme song and a slew of new sailors.
After that is Persepolis (2007), a French coming-of-age tale based on the autobiographical graphic novel of the same name by Marjane Satrapi; she also directed the film, in her only notable directing credit to date. It follows a teenage girl in the last days of the much-hated shah’s regime, followed by his ouster and replacement by Islamist fundamentalists, followed by Iraq’s invasion of Iran. Drama ensues as sociopolitical conditions worsen. It won a bunch of awards, and was nominated for both the Best Animated Feature Oscar and the Palme d’Or at Cannes; it is one of the highest-rated animated films on Letterboxd, also. Let’s give it a whirl.

For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more Sailor Moon, and so, we’re continuing on, with episodes 169 through 174 of the 1992 series, the definitive magical-girl anime. This is the completely unabridged, unexpurgated, uncensored, Japanese version of the show, including everything that the English dub butchered, altered, and/or cut, which is quite a bit. Tonight’s episodes see the continuation of the Sailor Stars arc, which features a brand-new theme song and a slew of new sailors.
After that is Mind Game (2004), widely considered the magnum opus of renowned auteur Masaki Yuasa. This is the only one of his features that we have yet to watch, so let’s cross it off the list, finally. A loser pines after his childhood girlfriend, and is then killed by the yakuza; to get back to Earth, he must journey through heaven, hell, and back. A whole bunch of weird yet stylish stuff happens from there. This is one of the best-reviewed anime films of all time, so let’s check it out.

CWs for Mind Game:
- A skeevy sexual assault scene about 16 minutes in; a man climbs on top of a woman and tears her clothes, and is then foiled. For added yikes factor, the scene is blocked as a POV shot, i.e., from the assaulter’s perspective. This scene is why I felt cagey about showing this film until now, despite frequent requests, but eh, enough people want to watch, and I’ll put a CW in chat before it happens.

Remarkably enough, there is a solution for South Africa's problems. It is a solution that only the United States can broker: namely, to offer South Africa a place as the 51st state of the union. It is, on the face of it, a bizarre and possibly outlandish suggestion. But that, alas, may be all we ha...
including the entire nation of Ireland apparently.
