For this Saturday Anime Night, first up is The Adventures of Captain Wrongel (1976), a Soviet slapstick cartoon from the same crew behind the later Treasure Island (1989). An incompetent sea captain enters a race around the world with a motley crew; can he bumble his way to victory? Time to find out. This is one of the highest-rated Eastern Bloc cartoons on Letterboxd, and I finally found a good-quality, complete rip, so let’s give it a whirl. After that is Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop (2020), one of the most popular anime movies we have yet to watch. Teens meet during the summer. One is a nerd who expresses himself in haikus. They hang out at the beach a lot. Looks real nice. Sometimes, all a movie needs is to be cozy. So far, this is the only major film of director Kyohei Ishiguro.

We’ll start at 9PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies

Be there, comrades!
