    Animax to air ‘Inu Yasha: ‘The Castle beyond the looking glass’ on 2 September

    MUMBAI: By popular demand the blockbuster animation movie Inu Yasha: The Castle beyond the looking glass is back on Animax’s Saturday Night movie band Ani-Flix. The movie will air on 2 September at 7 pm.

    The Castle beyond the looking glass commences with Naraku’s defeat while Inu-Yasha and his friends finally get on with their lives. While Inu-Yasha and Shippo continue their search for Shikon shards; Kagome goes back to school when not helping Inu-Yasha out; Miroku visits Mushin back in his village, and Sango goes off travelling with her brother, informs an official release.

    However, this peace does not last too long as another enemy far more dangerous than Naraku emerges. Kaguya, the self-proclaimed ‘Princess of the Heavens’, is freed from the magical mirror imprisoning her, and as she slowly regains her powers, it is only a matter of time before she stops the flow of time, and plunge the world into an eternal night of the full moon.

    Once again, Inu-Yasha, along with Kagome and the others, must come together to fight this new threat. But can they really defeat an enemy who is able to control time itself? And will Inu-Yasha stand a chance against Kaguya when her spells rob him of his humanity? These queries will be answered on Saurday night.

    Animax to air animation movie block ‘Ani-Flix’ on Saturdays

    MUMBAI: Get addicted and be different! Animax is rolling out Ani-Flix, a new animation movie block on Saturday nights, which will air blockbuster animation films.

    The block launches with its first movie on 12 August at 7 pm. Ani-Flix is yet another aspect of the Animax channel refresh, designed to meet the growing appetite for high quality animation in India.

    Through this band, Animax will be airing movies that are more youth and young adult focused attracting a different target group. Movies aired on Ani-Flix will showcase filmmaking that has unleashed a new trend in movie making involving spectacular animation sequences.

    On 12 August, Ani-Flix will premiere with Cowboy Bebop: Knocking in Heaven’s Door. The movie follows the adventures of characters who are living on Mars in the year 2071.

    Animax country manager Sunder Aaron said, “Indian youth and young adults are now becoming familiar with and getting addicted to watching top-flight animation on television, a trend that hit the west 10 years ago. With the onset of band programming, Ani-Flix will relay award winning marvels such as Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell – the inspiration for the Matrix movies, the international blockbuster Akira, the sci-fi thriller Appleseed – a movie so hot that John Woo is producing the sequel – and many more. These movies, especially Appleseed, will not disappoint the eye.”

    “There is enormous attention to detail, reflections, shading and other small things. Many of the scenes, especially involving the giant city complex, look like art if you froze the frame. Ani-Flixs showcases exceptional movies that have young adult and mature content with edgy animation that should attract our target viewers. Our shift to broadcast only in English also presents these movies the way our viewers want to see them: our various user-groups expressed this preference to us in many ways, including online,” he added.

    Ani-Flix will air Inu Yahsa: The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass on 19 August.

    And, on 14 August, all these movies will be aired back to back on the channel. Inu Yahsa: The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass will be aired at 1 pm, followed by Ghost in the Shell at 3 pm and Cowboy Bebop: Knocking in Heaven’s Door at 5 pm.
