Over the years however I started to develop a greater appreciation towards movie theatres at large and a lot of that has to probably do with anime. The only exception I started to make was when Disney purchased Star Wars, and that was more out of fear that ravenous fans online couldn’t keep their mouths shut than it was about anything else. I was always the type of person that was happy enough to rent a movie once it released on DVD/BD and that was the extent I would need out of cinema at large. If I am being honest, I actually hate going to the cinema most of the time, and spent many years avoiding doing just that. Before that I got to see the fun anime version of Die Hard known as My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, and before that a love letter to Go Nagai known as Mazinger Z Infinity! Now only a month after Broly I get to watch an honest-to-God Mobile Suit Gundam motion picture in a theatre too? I feel like the luckiest guy alive. Just last month I was able to watch the phenomenal Dragon Ball Super Broly film in a packed theatre with a ton of other nerds and it was a delightful experience.
So it’s funny how times have changed and how anime screenings in theatres is becoming increasingly more common in North America. Besides maybe a few Pokemon movies or an occasional film in some mega franchise I don’t particularly care for such as Naruto, the prospect would probably seem alien to me even.
If you told me ten years ago that I would be able to regularly watch anime movies on the big screen in theatres I would have surely not believed you.
