This is a one-off, special 9/11 edition of Anime Night by popular demand. It’s the long-awaited screening of the fifth and six Project A-ko movies, the final entries in the series, which transplant the characters into a completely new setting and otherwise have nothing to do with the previous installments. They are also not as well-regarded as the original four, but god damn it, we’re not leaving them unwatched. I expect, at least, that chicks will continue to rock.
We’ll start at 9PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies
Be there, comrades!

CWs:
- “Man in a dress” jokes. The aliens look like men who dress as women. The characters barely acknowledge this fact directly, but the depiction is still problematic.
- Bugs.
- Stalking.
- Mention of sexual assault (but no depiction).
- Someone struggles to breathe.
- Kidnapping.
- Bath scene.
- Flashing lights.
- Plane crash.
- Gun violence.
- Nuclear explosion.
- Objectification of female characters. -Panty shots of high-school-aged girls.

I absolutely love Grey Side/Blue Side. It's a completely bonkers direction for the Project A-ko characters, yet it works.
