Festival director Andrew Partridge is seen here trying to run a triple-venue film event in two countries from a table in a cafe at a cinema. We’re coming to the end of the Edinburgh leg of Scotland Loves Anime, which has included a landmark event in which Japanese animation was running in all three screens of the Cameo cinema at the same time. We’ve had Naoko Yamada and Kensuke Ushio up onstage in Glasgow discussing 1980s UK electronica, and Maho Takagi from Comix Wave trying to explain why their studio’s relaxation room has a hammock and an open bar.
But there’s still another weekend to go, because Scotland Loves Anime is counter-intuitively in London from next Friday at the Picturehouse Central, just off Piccadilly, featuring a live interview with the director of Totto-chan: The Girl at the Window, me quizzing POPREQ, the impossibly young director of A Few Moments of Cheers over Skype, and all the films competing for the coveted Golden Partridge Award.

on the topic of anime sorry about neo magazine shutting down. Only discovered it a few years back and fell in love. Really loved seeing a magazine talking anime from a uk perspective (couldn’t get into animeusa or otakuusa for that reason). I hope like you talked about in the last issue that there will be another one at some point but I appreciate the media climate has changed a lot but I really love having something physical in my hand to read.
