Goodbye, Don Glees! About the Screening

The original animation "Goodbye, Don Glees!" is directed by Atsuko Ishizuka, the director of the critically acclaimed worldwide hit "A Place Farther Than Space" and produced by the prestigious animation studio MADHOUSE. (A Place Far Away from Outer Space).

The film depicts a story of miraculous encounters between boys.

The pain and joy that everyone felt at that time of their lives are humorously and freshly depicted. Like "A Place Farther Than Outer Space," in which the girls set their sights on Antarctica, the setting for this film is not limited to Japan.

After an unusual summer vacation, Rowma and her friends arrive in Iceland, a land of fire and ice.

What will they find there after looking at themselves and transcending the world?

This is the first original theatrical film directed by Ishizuka, who also wrote the screenplay for "No Game, No Life Zero.

The character design is by Takahiro Yoshimatsu, who also worked with Ishizuka on "A Place Farther Than the Universe.

The voice cast includes Natsuki Hanae, Yuki Kaji, Ayumi Murase, and Kana Hanazawa, all of whom are both talented and popular.

Alexandros] sings the theme song.

Despite being an original anime, it was a smash hit, winning the hearts of discerning fans.

Even two years after its release, the film still boasts strong popularity, and will be screened for one day only as a special event!

After the screening of the film, director Atsuko Ishizuka and character designer Takahiro Yoshimatsu will be invited as guests to a talk show to discuss their passion for the film.
