Devoted anime fans and film enthusiasts can look forward to a jampacked November with the
successive release of anime films along with a live-action Japanese film best seen and experienced
at the cinemas.

The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes” leads two young people to Urashima Tunnel, a mysterious
tunnel that can grant one's fondest wish but with a price. High school student Kaoru is plagued by a
troubled past and fatefully teams up with Anzu, a girl who struggles to place obligations before her dreams.
Destined to meet to unravel the mystery of the tunnel, Kaoru and Anzu learn along the way about young
love and bending time itself. An SM Cinema exclusive on November 1, the film is directed by Tomohisa
Taguchi and the main characters in the movie are voiced by Ōji Suzuka and Marie Iitoyo.

City Hunter The Movie: Angel Dust” is the latest anime theatrical film produced by Aniplex and
animated by Sunrise, City Hunter's 35th anniversary. With the franchise's main protagonist Ryo
Saeba, the movie involves an all-new drug named Angel Dust and is controlled by an underground
organization that's also covertly creating secret soldiers. Also an SM Cinema exclusive on
November 8, “City Hunter The Movie: Angel Dust” is directed by Kenji Kodama and featuring the
voices of Akira Kamiya (Ryo) and Kazue Ikura as Kaori.

“Tokyo MER: Mobile Emergency Room” is a live action-packed film on the hazards that medical
workers face to save 193 lives from the fire trapped at the 70 th floor of a Yokohama skyscraper.
Based on the TV series of the same title, the movie adaptation deploys a team of emergency
professionals on wheels formed by the Tokyo governor with one mission only: to prevent a single
death. Tasked with rushing to the scene of major accidents, disasters, and crimes, MER is armed
with state-of-the-art medical equipment, a mobile operating room, and an elite staff ready to risk
all to save lives. Check out “Tokyo MER: Mobile Emergency Room” when it opens exclusively at
Ayala Malls Cinemas on November 22.

Finally, Hayao Miyazaki's “The Boy and the Heron” will open on November 29 in local cinemas
nationwide. Dubbed as a big fantastical film, the movie follows a boy named Mahito (voiced by
Soma Santoki) who enters a magical world with a talking grey heron after finding an abandoned
tower in his new town. Yearning for his mother, Mahito ventures into a world shared by the living
and the dead where death comes to an end and life finds a new beginning. “The Boy and The
Heron” is a semi-autobiographical fantasy about life, death, creation and a tribute to friendship
that can only come from the mind of Hayao Miyazaki.
