August is looking to be a busy month for theatrical anime here in the UK - not only does Your Name return to cinemas in both IMAX presentations and in normal cinemas with a mix of subtitled and English dubbed screenings, but prior to that we have Napping Princess to watch too.
This latest film from Kenji Kamiyama arrives in cinemas on Wednesday, 16th August 2017, and tickets to the film are now available for booking from the official web site.
Here's a synopsis for the film if you're curious to know more:
“This fender and genre-bending film takes us into the not-too-distant machine-driven future. Kokone should be diligently studying for her university entrance exams, but she just can’t seem to stay awake. Aside from stealing precious study time, her napping is even more distracting, as it brings on strange dreams with warring machines that hint at family secrets that have been dormant for years. She can’t ask her father, a hipster mechanic more talented and artful than his job requires, as he’s always busy modifying motorcycles and cars in flights of fancy. What are these visions that lead Kokone at once closer to and farther away from her family? Like all the best anime, the film revels in multilayered fantasy to show how sometimes opposites—waking and dreaming, the past and the future—are far more intertwined than they appear.”
