For this Saturday Anime Night, we’re starting off with Suzume (2022), the latest smash hit from auteur director Makoto Shinkai (Your Name, Weathering with You)! Good-quality rips just appeared in the last couple of days, so let’s watch. It’s another melodrama/romance about a high-school girl who stumbles upon magic powers. If you’ve watched any prior Shinkai works, you know what to expect. Excellent reviews for this one, and it’s already one of the highest-grossing anime films of all time, so we’re giving it a whirl. After that is the highly-anticipated honorary anime The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023), which needs no introduction. Reviews for this are middling, but whatever, it’s Mario, you asked for it, we’re watching. Both rips of the movies tonight are telesyncs, meaning they’re not at Blu-ray rip quality, but they’re way better than regular camrips. Picture and audio quality are both good throughout, from what I can tell.
We’ll start at 10PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies
Be there, comrades!

Nope, not tonight. I’m more cautious with opsec for these films, since they are still in theatres.
@Dirt_Owl It's Mario (+ Suzume) time.
YEEEEEEAH!
