The Inside Story of Anime’s Late, Great Anime Studio! Director Takeshi Mori (Gunsmith Cats) and the anime madmen of Studio GAINAX (Neon Genesis Evangelion) gather with their friends for the most explosive club meeting ever!

Featuring the original Japanese language with English subtitles!
The year is 1982 – one year into the glorious New Anime Century! Unfortunately, college freshman Ken Kubo has yet to bask in the brilliant light of this prosperous era! Instead, he’s either hitting tennis balls or playing hanky-panky with his high school sweetheart. But a chance encounter with an old friend unlocks his true anime nerd potential, turning his aim away from the ace and toward the top! With a loyal circle of new allies at his side, Kubo may just become the greatest nerd known to man – the Otaking! Meanwhile, an intrepid crew of documentarians use their filmic brushes to paint a vivid portrait of the anime obsessed.
The Blu-ray will include extra features like liner notes and a line art gallery which will make it easy to draw the characters if you want to. You will also be able to watch it with or without the live action segments. This is a 4×3 aspect ratio show that has been remastered to look amazing in 1080p. Runtime is 100 mins. Age Rating 13+.
