“Night is Short, Walk on Girl” Home Video Release Details
May 9, 2018 · 0 comments
In 2017 we had the pleasure of bringing two of Masaaki Yuasa’s recent films to the big screen, the first was Night is Short, Walk on Girl, and in the winter it was Lu Over the Wall. Both will be receiving home video releases soon. We’ll have more details for what to expect with the latter of the two in the coming weeks, but today we’re going to give you a rundown on what to look forward to with our upcoming release of Night is Short, Walk on Girl.
If you’re not familiar with the film, have no fear as we’ve got a quick primer for you to bring you up to speed.
ABOUT “NIGHT IS SHORT, WALK ON GIRL”
Let director Masaaki Yuasa (The Tatami Galaxy, Lu Over the Wall, MIND GAME) walk you through an eccentric, colourful journey of love, life and youthful exuberance unlike anything you’ve seen before.
Synopsis: “Senpai” is a man smitten with his inscrutable junior, The Girl with Black Hair. Although he plans to woo her by engineering a series of “coincidental” encounters, he reckons without the exploratory nature of this girl as she roams through an abstract, bustling night in Kyoto. From pub crawls to festivals, book fairs to impromptu musical performances, the night is short and there’s much to take in – how can “Senpai” possibly grab the attention of the apple of his eye?
Check out a trailer for the film (that was also originally published prior to our theatrical screenings last year) below:
WHAT’S PLANNED FOR THE RELEASE?
We will be releasing the film on both Blu-ray and DVD. There will be a Ltd Collector’s Ed. Blu-ray+DVD set, as well as standard Blu-ray and DVD versions available from 25th June 2018.
The Ltd Collector’s Ed. Blu-ray+DVD set will come packed in a rigid case with a digipack to hold the Blu-ray and DVD discs. Also included is a 52-page art book that is divided into three sections; Characters, Settings and then in a change of pace we’re including an essay written by Andrew Osmond (author of 100 Animated Feature Films). It works as a great companion to the film and is a great read whether you’re familiar with the film, or perhaps other titles of Masaaki Yuasa’s, or not.
If that wasn’t enough, on the disc themselves you’ll also get an interview with director Masaaki Yuasa and there’s also some Japanese previews of the film too.
In case you’re not aware, the film is in Japanese with English subtitles only. (No English language dub has been produced for this.) The audio option for watching the main feature is Japanese 5.1.
