On the 31st January 2009 the Animetion team travelled down to
London for Tokyo Day. The event, which was held in the
Royal Horticultural Halls was free of charge to all whom entered.
Organised by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, it was completed to
commemorate the 150 year anniversary of relations between Japan and
the UK.
Our resident writer Amichan has completed a full write-up of the
wealth of entertainment and information which was at Tokyo Day:
The day provided plenty of entertainment and information for all
including:
Tourist Information
The wealth of information on Tokyo was impressive. Even the
Animetion team, who have all visited Tokyo before, found new
information about Japan's capital city. In one section of the
hall there were boards with information on all the different
activities that can be completed in each of the different districts
that make up Tokyo. Also to ensure that this information was
available after the event, everyone was given a pack filled with
leaflets containing the information that you could find on the day.
Anime
Throughout, the day a number of anime screenings were shown.
These titles included some which had not been released in the UK.
Below shows a list of some of the anime screenings that were shown:
Honeinu-kun In Makkura-land
Pookys
Taro Picana

This part of the event proved to be particularly popular with most
of the screenings packed to full capacity. |
