Blue Mars


Friday	4:00 p.m.	To Be Announced! [shhh, it's a secret, but you'll like it]
	6:00 p.m.	Dragon Half The "Japanese animated Monty Python", Dragon Half is an incredibly silly anime that parodies the genre deftly and takes no prisoners, Dragon Half follows the exploits of Mink, the scantily-clad, butt-kicking, red-headed, misbegotten daughter of a dragon and a dragonslayer. In episode one, she fights off an army of warriors sent by a lecherous king to dispatch her father. In episode two, she attempts to win "The Brutal, Killer Martial Arts Tournament" so that she can attend a concert by her favorite pop star.
	11:00 p.m.	Rock and Rule A long-lost animated classic, Rock and Rule is a rock opera set in a post-apocalyptic future where animals have mutated into humanoid creatures. The super-rocker, Mok, is engaged in a quest for special voice, the timbre of which is necessary for him to raise a demon and take over the world. He finds this voice in Angel, a down-trodden member of a failing rock and roll band. Rock and Rule is a visual and auditory feast, featuring ground-breaking animation along with the musical talents of Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Debbie Harry, Cheap Trick, and others. Rated PG, 119 minutes
Saturday	10:00 a.m.	Medabots Medabots is set in the year 2022 where kids aspire to acquire special robots to compete in tournaments. The hero of the story, Ikki, finds a special medallion and creates his own bot, Metabee, a robot with a quirky personality more prone to insulting his owner than obeying his orders. Smarter and more plot-driven than Pokemon, Medabots is a funny series suitable for viewers of all ages. Rated G, 125 minutes
	Noon	Fan Films Our Fan Films showing last year was very popular. This year we're scheduling two showings.

	1:00 p.m.	Sorcerer Hunters Sorcerer Hunters is a comedic anime about a band of five Sorcerer Hunters whose nominal mission is to "take care of" rogue sorcerers who oppress the innocent, but who actually spend more time squabbling amongst themselves. The lecherous hero, Carrot, prefers pursuing his curvaceous female companions, Tira Misu and Chocolate, to hunting sorcerers and the two women revel in punishing his every advance as well as the women who makes advances on him. Rated 15+, 165 minutes
	4:00 p.m.	Making Music Videos Twin Cities Scapers
	5:00 p.m.	Noir As dark as its title implies, Noir is a dark tale of a pair of amnesiac female assassins with a Godfather-like sensibility. Kirika and Mireille don't know how they acquired their talents or even who they are, but they do know how to kick butt. They murder for hire and are in turn hunted by mysterious men whose motives are obscure. Noir features mysteries within mysteries and has out-standing animation. Rated 15+, 125 minutes
	10:00 p.m.	Fan Films A second chance to see the fan films...
	Midnight	To Be Announced! [shhhh, it's a secret, but you'll like it]
Sunday	10:00 a.m.	Angelic Layer A new electronic game is the biggest fad in Japan and Misaki Suzuhara wants to play. This is a beautifully drawn anime about a young girl's efforts to win in the "Angelic Layer", an electronic battlefield where each of the players assumes the role of Deus and controls their miniature Angel with their thoughts. A tongue in cheek tale of Japanese fads, Angelic Layer is a charming anime suitable for all ages. Rated PG, 100 minutes
	Noon	ReBoot Selections from the innovative computer-animated television program, ReBoot. Jennifer Steadman Mickie Erickson Whitestar Phoenix
