Scotland
Loves Anime
Back for a third year and there’s no sign of us losing
steam here at Scotland Loves Anime! We’ve picked up
more premieres than ever before, including a coup for
us – a world premiere before general distribution even
in Japan, in the form of Nerawareta Gakuen! We’re
equally excited about the Anime Mirai Project that
showcases new talent from Japan, and Wolf Children
Ame & Yuki – the latest film from Mamoru Hosoda.
We’ve not scrimped on guests either this year – both
the character designer of the two Berserk films and
the President and founder of 4C (Berserk Films, Genius
Party and even Thundercats), as well as another strong
panel of judges looking for the top film from SLA 2012!
As ever we’d like to thank everyone who makes this
festival possible – including Creative Scotland, the
Japan Foundation, Kaze, Manga UK, The Skinny, Neo
Magazine and all the film companies who help us out.

In 1960s Japan, just before the Olympics, Umi is a hardworking
young girl looking after her family whilst her
mother is in America. One day she comes across a poem in
the school newspaper, apparently directed at her. Not long
after she meets Shun, a daring young lad who is part of a
school movement to help save the local clubhouse from
demolition. The movement is mostly led by lively boys
from the school, but when Umi agrees to help, she and
Shun grow closer together but are suddenly torn apart by
a shocking secret.

St Claire’s Elementary School is a prestigious private school
with a long history and tradition. But the school has
another face. After school, with no one in the classrooms,
the sound of piano comes from a music room. A black
shadow appears on the surface of the pool. A blue-white
light comes from the digital room, and a scream is heard
from the darkness of the toilets. There’s also the matter
of the talking anatomy figure in the science room, who is
determined to keep people away from the school at night!
This screening will be introduced by Jonathan Clements.
