As a part of the Weeknight Anime Program, the cinema are holding a two-night only special presentation of Gurren Lagann: The Movie 1: Childhood’s End and Gurren Lagann: The Movie 2: The Lights In The Sky Are Stars. The movies are subtitled, and are shown back-to-back.

In the first movie, Simon and Kamina are forced to live within the limits set by the village elder – but that changes when, just as Simon discovers a “fantastic” device, the village becomes victim to a wild intrusion. They are soon entangled in a battle against surface “Beastmen” who control giant robots known as Gunmen. The underground inhabitants manage to commandeer one of these robots for themselves and name it GURREN, which they use to lead the battle against the Beastmen.

The second movie sees Simon in mourning for loved ones lost while he was in a battle against the Beastmen leader named Lordgenome. Seven years later, humans are returning to the surface to create a “flourishing civilization” which they soon expand into outer space. This expansion brings them a new set of problems when they score themselves a brand new enemy!

Fans interested in seeing this double-feature need to get themselves to the VIZ Cinema complex in San Francisco on either Tuesday the 17^th or Wednesday the 18^th of November, where they are also offering a special discount for this event! Ticket information, preview trailers and screening times are available at the website, www.vizcinema.com.

The series “His and Hers Circumstances” (pictured, right) will be available at “Screening Room +” in it’s entire 26 episode run until August 20th. For those unaware of the storyline, here’s a quick summary:

Like a drug, Yukino Miyazawa was addicted to admiration and praise from those around her. She worked hard to become the perfect student, the perfect girl. But that was before… him. Souichirou Arima. The instant she met him, she hated him. Without even trying, he snatched the very glory from her hands by easily acing the high school entrance exam that should have made her the class representative. To take back what is rightfully hers, Yukino is putting all her efforts into plotting her revenge; but was love part of the plan?

As  well as “His and Hers Circumstances”, there is also a full episode of “Gurren Lagann” to tempt you with! Additionally, later in the month we’ll be able to get hold of some “Gundam 00“!
