Uniqlo crop up again this week, as their sponsored event We Love Anime comes to the Barbican Centre, London on 7th July. Partnered with Manga Entertainment and Optimum Releasing, this event has been travelling round the country with a goodie bag full of films. THis screening will include a chance to see the Studio Ghibli classic Laputa Castle In The Sky and a feature-length adaptation of TV series Trigun with Trigun: Badlands Rumble. The features will introduced by the Barbican’s in-house expert (and top UK Anime expert, lucky Barbican!) Helen McCarthy.

But that’s only part of what the Barbican has in store for Anime lovers, as during July they play host to a whole season of Studio Ghibli classics on the big screen where they belong. This will include Princess Mononoke, My Neighbour Totoro, Grave Of The Fireflies, Spirited Away and Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind, all in their original language, as well as special preview of Arrietty, based on the classic children’s story The Borrowers.
