December 4, 2017 · 0 comments
I don’t mean to alarm you, but it’s December! With time counting down to Christmas, we have of course started our traditional series of 12 Days of Christmas Deals, which we’d urge you to look out for from 9AM every morning for some incredible deals and exclusive offers.
Of course, there’s more to this week than just special offers – we have Lu Over the Wall coming to cinemas this Wednesday, 6th December, while today brings us a trio of big new releases for your enjoyment, including what might be my personal favourite release of the year, quite frankly. Yes, I’m a Hyouka fanboy, what more do you want me to say?
Anyhow, regardless of my own personal preferences, let’s dig into what delicacies we’re serving up for you folks this Monday. Not a turkey in sight, we promise…

The world is locked in an arms race-that is until two rookie soldiers, Qwenthur Barbotage and Havia Winchell, manage to take down an enemy Object with nothing more than their wits. But their achievement earns no rest. Now the government wants to deploy them around the world on more impossible missions!
Fortunately, they won’t go at it alone. On their side is a first-generation Object piloted by the beautiful Milinda Brantini, and their fiery commanding officer, Frolaytia Capistrano. While Havia avoids discipline from Frolaytia’s heeled boots, Qwenther finds himself rescuing Milinda from a tight spot or two. Together, their team takes on unforeseen enemies-including those among their ranks.”

LU OVER THE WALL – IN CINEMAS 6TH DECEMBER
As we mentioned at the top of this post, this week sees Lu Over the Wall come to select cinemas across the UK, so if you haven’t booked your tickets already then be sure to do so, as this is your final chance to catch some new anime on the big screen in 2017!
If you’re still on the fence about whether you should go and check out the film, we have two words for you: Masaaki Yuasa. If you’re still on the fence after that, take a look at this synopsis and gorgeous UK exclusive trailer to persuade you that the movie is well worth your time and money:
“Kai has moved from Tokyo to a lonely fishing village with his father and his grandfather. One day, his classmates invite him to join their band. As he reluctantly follows them to Merfolk Island, their practice spot, they meet Lu, the mermaid girl. Since ancient times, the people of Hinashi Town have thought that mermaids brought disaster. Something happens that puts a huge rift between Lu and the townspeople. Will Kai’s cry from the heart save the town?”
Book your tickets for Lu Over the Wall at cinemas across the UK & Ireland right now at luoverthewallmovie.co.uk.
So, with that said and done, that’s another jam-packed week of new releases over and done with. Oh, one last thing – did I mention how fantastic Hyouka is yet? I did? Oh. Well, it is, so keep that in mind.
Until next time, take care of yourselves.
