Anime Limited is delighted to reveal that the hauntingly beautiful Children of the Sea, which features a score by legendary Studio Ghibli collaborator Joe Hisaishi (Spirited Away), will headline the latest curated line-up of their Screen Anime online film festival from 25th August. This marks the first wide release of the film in the United Kingdom & Ireland, following appearances at film festivals such as Scotland Loves Anime, where it screened in competition. Watch the sizzle reel at the link.
Children of the Sea leads Screen Anime's most diverse line-up to date, with its curated theme of "growing up" featuring films for family members of all ages. Children can enjoy the monster mischief of A Letter of Momo or the fantastical dream world of Napping Princess, while older members can enjoy the wondrous artistry of Children of the Sea or Mari Okada's emotional story of parenthood, Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms.
Teens with their heads already deep in anime subculture can also laugh along to this month's bingeable TV series, the nerdy romantic comedy Kiss Him, Not Me!
The Screen Anime August/September curated festival bill line-up will be available from 25th August until 25th September. All titles will be available in both Japanese with English subtitles, while Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms, Napping Princess, A Letter to Momo and Kiss Him, Not Me will also be available with an English language dub.
