Hey everyone! Animation Night is back~!

This week we'll be watching Nijiiro Hotaru: Eien no Natsu Yasumi (Rainbow Fireflies: The Eternal Summer Vacation).

This film is what happens when you are venerable animation studio Toei, and you hand director Konosuke Uda a novel, and say 'make a film to celebrate Toei's history. Take your time!' and he does.

Uda goes away and spends 3.5 years iterating and perfecting an all-traditional film, creating this wonderfully unique style that's loose and lively and really doesn't look like anything else. He pulls in legends like Shinya Ohira(!), he gets Hisashi Mori to bring these really cool minimalist designs, and he injects them with all sorts of life and movement, and eventually Mr Toei is like 'OK that's great you need to stop now and release it', and the result is something great.

So what's this film about? A boy named Yūta returns to a dam where his dad died, drawn by memories of catching beetles in the mountains. But uh oh, there's a storm! An old man saves Yūta from drowning, but somehow he is transported 30 years into the past, in the final summer of the village that was flooded when the dam was completed.

There, he's introduced to the lively people of this doomed village, including kids like the firefly-loving Saeko, to experience the transient pleasure of a rural summer in a place that will soon be washed away. Yeah, it's one o them mono no aware type of films.

If you'd like to know more, read the link above - or cut out the middleman and go straight to kViN's article. Either way, Animation Night 181 will go live at 8pm UK time (that's 15 minutes from now) and the movie will begin at 8:30pm (that's 45 minutes from now). We saw the cutting edge of Toei last week with Slam Dunk - now let's see a movie that sits right on the dividing line between Toei old and new.

See you at twitch.tv/canmom!
