4月8日は高梨実プロデューサーのご命日です。2017年に亡くなってから9年の歳月が経ちました。今年は『マクロスプラス』『エスカフローネ』リバイバル上映や『地球少女アルジュナ』Blu-ray発売ほか、『マクロスII』イベント開催など、期せずしてプロデュース作品と再会する機会が増えましたね。R.I.P.

Why do the annual Detective Conan films always perform so well in Japan? I try to crack the case.

[The Japan Times @japantimes]

A rotating cast of fan-favorite characters and shifting tones keep each installment of "Detective Conan" feeling familiar yet refreshingly new year after year. https://t.co/V5heRThWY1

Heard there's a new Mario movie out. Bet it's not as good as this one: https://t.co/3FfiiUZxUR

Why old anime is having a moment in cinemas. By me.

[The Japan Times @japantimes]

Why are decades-old anime like “Tekkonkinkreet,” “Jin-roh” and “Macross Plus" returning to multiplexes? Lower risk, loyal fans and a chance for new audiences to discover forgotten classics. 👉 https://t.co/f7hwY7TS1C

@nao_arakawa なぜでしょうかね。権利の問題か、人気なさでしょうか。
去年LAで「未知の世界」の３５mm上映を見ましたけどすごくいい体験でした。

The follow-up to “Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway” is demanding, visually captivating and deeply satisfying, especially for fans who know the universe inside out. https://t.co/uEWKh4OLfo

Oh hey, it's my (overwhelmingly positive) review of Hathaway 2.

That said, the exhibition will feature some talk events with people who worked on the anime, which might give a deeper insight into its meaning and making.

[Matt Schley @rhymeswithguy]

The Ghost in the Shell anime exhibition on at Tokyo Node is worth visiting for the huge number of production materials alone, though it feels like it's more interested in visual impact than probing the meaning of the franchise.

[The Japan Times @japantimes]

With its new exhibition, the cyberpunk anime icon “Ghost in the Shell” creates a feeling of diving into the vast data of the internet like its protagonists do. https://t.co/VU6E00Ik10

Was just on the radio in that there UK talking about the Japanese box office (and hopefully sounding vaguely coherent?). About 48 minutes in: https://t.co/XKJ1LxwFBn
