Anime Club dives into the technological uncanny on Thursday, February 13, with two early-2000s anime classics that explore identity, morality, and the ever-thinning line between human and machine.

From the writer behind Serial Experiments Lain, these films are rich with the philosophical and psychological themes that define anime’s most daring works. The first film thrusts us into a noir-drenched future where a secretive team investigates crimes involving rogue androids, uncovering chilling truths about justice and humanity along the way. The second film takes a surreal turn, following an android doll’s mysterious journey of transformation and self-discovery in a haunting, dreamlike world. Combining eerie visuals with an unconventional narrative, it’s a bold meditation on existence and the unknown.

This members-only double feature promises to captivate fans of anime’s darker, more thought-provoking side. Don’t miss your chance to see these rare gems on the big screen and partake in our complimentary cup noodle bar, drink specials, and raffle with exclusive anime prizes!

Screening in Japanese with English subtitles.
