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!

Hey y'all! The very first #Animedon is in just a few more days. Can't wait to watch this important and emotional film with you all!

With the first #Animedon just a day away I'm only left with one question: What should we all watch together for our second week? I want you #anime fans to weigh in on this one and leave suggestions for future viewings in the replies!

@literalgrill Well, I suppose Mario is a Nintendo franchise which is a Japanese company (although, not one which usually comes to mind, lol).

Ugh, I'm getting a feeling of deja vu for some reason.

I could suggest something but I'd have to know what sort of things you like.
