Summer Wars, Ponyo, Paprika, Steamboy, Ghost in the Shell 2 – just some of the anime premieres Fanomenon has presented in the last ten years. For 2010 we announce the new Fanomenon Anime Day, showcasing some of the most anticipated new films and scheduled alongside the fantastic Thought Bubble Comic Convention.

The first Fanomenon Anime Day features two giant box office hits, one incredible superspeed galactic epic, and the European Premiere of the first of a brand new anime series. One Piece Film – Strong World and Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance have dominated the Japanese box office in the last year, and the two films are the most acclaimed instalments yet in their movie series. Leeds favourites Katsuhito Ishii and Takeshi Koike are behind the phenomenal racing movie Redline, a must see on the big screen in a packed cinema. And we are delighted to present part one of the Mardock Scramble trilogy, the cyberpunk noir series that has been planned for years and is finally here in Leeds.

Plus an extra special exclusive for everyone attending the Anime Day at Leeds Town Hall – at midday you can see the European Premiere of Gintama the Movie, the first feature based on the popular sci-fi samurai manga.

The full anime day runs from noon to 11pm at Leeds Town Hall on Friday 19th November and includes: Gintama the Movie (noon), One Piece (2pm), Mardock Scramble (4.30pm), Evangelion: 2.0 (6.30pm), and Redline (9pm).

All films are repeated, with the exception of Gintama the Movie, at the Hyde Park Picture House on Sunday 21st November from 10am to 6pm, in the same order.
