No. 3 of Weird Wednesdays’ secret-til-day-of anime movie series, this mysterious manga adaptation promises a science-fiction romp that redefines commitment to the bit. According to the Alamo Drafthouse’s event copy, “The one-line plot summary could have been executed at Saturday Night Live sketch length, but the humor here is stretched across an ever-widening palette, the ridiculous absurdity accumulating over its feature length (and into a sequel!).” Hmm: Now there’s a pretty enticing summary! Grab your ticket soon; this here’s gonna be a real treat. – James Scott
