Dive into the vast and varied history of Japanese anime this month with a new line-up celebrating films of great historical or cultural significance. Headlining the Screen Anime channel's latest line-up is Mamoru Hosoda's Mirai, the Academy Award and Golden Globe-nominated family adventure from Mamoru Hosoda (Wolf Children), which will be joined by Momotaro: Sacred Sailors, a controversial propaganda film and the first anime film ever made!
Screen Anime will also have to mind its language as we return to the 1990s with Cyber City Oedo 808, the beloved classic from an era renowned for its extreme violence, dedication to profanity, and British-produced dubs that turned it up to eleven! Rounding up the line-up is Hal, an artificial love story about loss, and our bingeable TV series Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo, a Sci-Fi reimagining of the literary classic!
All titles will be available on Screen Anime from 25 January 2021 until 25 February 2021. All titles will be available in both Japanese with subtitles and an English language dub, with the exception of Momotaro: Sacred Sailors, which will be available in Japanese with English subtitles only. Cyber City Oedo 808 will also have options to listen to the English language dub with either the original Japanese soundtrack, or Rory McFarlane's UK soundtrack.
