About TRIGUN
TRIGUN is a popular sci-fi action anime series with the original storyline created by Yasuhiro Naito. The setting takes place in a remote planet of the near future. It portrays the life and actions of a wanted man named Vash, an extreme pacifist by nature bizarrely nicknamed as “the human typhoon”. Yasuhiro Naito’s work was adapted into an animated TV series in 1998, and gained massive following throughout the world despite being aired at midnight. Fighting scenes filled with action and the meticulous designs captivated the audience. The production was done by Madhouse, which also worked on NARUTO, DEATH NOTE TV series, and SUMMER WARS. The story and designs have been renewed for this animated film, so that not only fans, but people who haven’t read the original manga or seen the animated TV series could enjoy the work.
Tickets Giveaway Campaign: Tuesday, May 3 – Monday, May 16

MORE ABOUT THE FILM: A contemporary Japanese food culture documentary.
People eat. It is a universal experience and that is how we survive. However, eating has become more than a replenishment of nutrients. It has become an opportunity for bonding with others as well as an act of interacting with nature. The film explores the interpersonal relationships that food nurtures and takes you on a journey throughout Japan looking at how life can be led richly through the daily ritual of eating. From the Tsukiji fish market to an Okinawan farm, the film offers poignant interviews with intriguing personalities. www.eatripfilm.com
