Toonami’s looking to take advantage of the daylight savings change next month on November 5th, 2016 by showing a little something extra that night. After One Piece finishes at 3am that night, they’ll bring out the Makoto Shinkai film Children Who Chase Lost Voices for folks to check out. The feature runs just under two hours in its original form so it’ll be interesting to see how that nudges the late night schedule that night.
Check out Josh’s review of the recent Sentai Selects edition of the film here.
Plot Concept: Strange sounds in the darkness… Unearthly music from an old crystal radio… These are all the warning Asuna Watase has before a simple walk to her clubhouse catapults her into a nightmarish adventure that will take her beneath the Earth to a lost land beyond the realm of legend! Attacked by a strange monstrous creature, rescued by a mysterious stranger and pursued by a relentless enemy, Asuna finds herself enmeshed in a centuries old mystery that will bind her to a strange young defender and lead her inevitably, towards a secret that may hold the key to life itself! From Makoto Shinkai, the critically acclaimed anime wunderkind who’s thrilled audiences around the world with the masterworks VOICES OF A DISTANT STAR and THE PLACE PROMISED IN OUR EARLY DAYS, comes an all new, dark and truly epic journey into a world you’ve never seen before: CHILDREN WHO CHASE LOST VOICES!
