As today comes to a close, I wanna warn y'all that I'm taking at least a week off till the next #Animedon as I think it needs restructuring. Read on if you want to know more!

In truth, since the first two, we haven't had a lot of participation. I think the issue is that unlike something like Monsterdon, anime is a vast array of genres all in one medium. It makes it difficult to get everyone together to watch something that might not be to their tastes purely because it's anime.

I want to continue something were folks can get together and watch things, then share it all together, I'm just not sure what yet. Any ideas would be welcome, as I'm going to try and brainstorm what I can! #AnimedonAlert

After another successful and fun week of #Animedon, it's time to announce the movie for next week. So #anime fans, boost this up and spread the word!

Description: Sixth grade student Hiromi Nozawa leads a troubled life. With her parents frequently absent due to work, one of her only companions is her talking dog, Junkers. Though Hiromi puts on a brave face for the public, the stark reality is that she is heavily stressed, and she shares this side of herself only with Junkers.

After hearing that her parents are considering divorce, Hiromi's stress reaches an all-time high; at this time, Junkers reveals that he has the ability to make three miracles occur. Given the potential of this newfound power, Hiromi must wish carefully—as obtaining what she thinks she wants may end up hurting those she cares about most.

🌸 Movie: Barefoot Gen (1983)
🍥 Description: Six-year-old boy Gen Nakaoka lives happily with his family in Hiroshima, but after the summer of 1945, everything is about to change.

🍥 Dub: Internet Archive - https://archive.org/details/wmv-165206

With the recent success of #Oppenheimer it felt appropriate to choose Barefoot Gen for our first viewing. It is an important part of anime history discussing a major moment in Japanese history that should never be forgotten.

To make this VERY clear this is about the bombing of Hiroshima and isn't a light fluffy film, you may want to research ahead of time to get a handle on what you'll be watching.

I hope you'll tune in and live toot your viewing experiences using #Animedon! If you also enjoy horror films and want an epic double feature, keep an eye out for what #Monsterdon is watching that week too.

Follow #AnimedonAlert to make sure you don't miss future announcements. Now let's get the word out so we can connect us anime fans on the fediverse!
