SCREENINGS
Taboo Tattoo Home Video Premiere
A tattoo is an ancient weapon that enhances the physical ability of its user. When Justice Akatsuka accepts a stone as a token of gratitude, a mysterious tattoo appears on his palm. And so the battle begins, framed by a web of conspiracies and centering around the boy who obtained a tattoo by complete chance.
The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. Home Video Premiere
Saiki Kusuo is a typical 16-year-old high school student… except he has psychic powers. He can use them to get whatever he wants, but he also knows everything that people are thinking. Everything. No surprises, no secrets, no normal human experiences. He’s kept his powers in check since childhood, but with the temptations of high school now on his mind, he’s bending the rules—and spoons.
Trickster Home Video Premiere
Based on the works by Ranpo Edogawa comes a new mystery thriller. Kensuke Hanasaki meets a mysterious boy named Yoshio Kobayashi who, due to an unexplained fog, cannot die though he wishes for death. Intrigued by this boy, Kensuke invites him to join the Boys’ Detective Team and help with their work around the city. But danger awaits, and their fate will lead them down a dark path.
