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.
