With Madman Entertainment handling the Australian distribution of the Black Butler: Book of the Atlantic film, the distributor gave it a showing at Madman Anime Festival. Thankfully, they’ve put together a really great two-minute piece on the premiere with everyone showing up for it, some of the costuming and events, the awesome photography with the cosplayers, and some reaction for it. The film has two release dates planned for it in theaters now and you can find a theatrical list and order tickets for it through here.
