I'm pretty sure the first few pokemon movies aired in a lot of theaters. :P
Ah ha ha, I stand corrected. As did the Digimon movie. Not a knock against any of them, but I guess I didn't even consider them anime yesterday. ^_^;;
Heh, I was thinking of Princess Mononoke and stuff like that. Even the Naruto movie would have been a 50 mile drive.
I still find it odd that my smaller city gets these while major cities are missing out. That was my original thought, really.

Wait--in my city? Since when? What is this?
As you can, this almost never happens. No, scratch that. I don't think there's ever been anime shown here theatrically. I'll probably go see all three just to support this endeavour.
Because I'd like more. :)

Unfortunately, I'm not finding any info on Vexille locations. It looks really promising too. I hope that I can find where it's playing before it's out of theaters.
