The Japanese animation industry is considered one of if not the world's best, and is lauded for its progressive techniques, wide-ranging subject matter, and lush attention to detail. This two-day anime festival will showcase some of the best films to have ever come out of Japan, including Akira (pictured at top), Perfect Blue (pictured above), Paprika, and The Shape of Voice from such heavyweights as "Father of Japanese Animation" Tezuka Osamu, Miyazaki Hayao, Katsuhiro Otomo, and Yoshiaki Kawajiri.
