Simply One Hell of an Australian Premiere is Headed to Madman Anime Festival Brisbane 1

During their first anime festival for the year in Perth last month, Australian anime publisher Madman Entertainment hosted an Australian premiere screening of animated feature Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale. With their inaugural Brisbane festival coming up in June, the company have confirmed that Queenslanders will also be receiving its own premiere screening, this time for the film Black Butler: Book of the Atlantic.

Black Butler: Book of the Atlantic serves as a sequel to both Book of Circus and Book of Murder – which brought the anime adaptations more into line with Yana Toboso’s original work. Set in April 1889, Earl Ciel Phantomhive and his servants, Sebastian Michaelis and Snake, board the luxury passenger ship Campania alongside the Midford family—not for recreational purposes, however, but for investigating illegal human experimentation, which is later demonstrated at an Aurora Society meeting headed by a questionable doctor. Deceased individuals are coming back to life, but they have changed into something other than human. What is reviving the dead—a breakthrough in medicine or an unforeseen force?

The single screening of Black Butler: Book of the Atlantic will take place on June 11th 2017 at 5.30pm in the AnimeLab arena, and will screen with Japanese audio and English subtitles. Complementary access will be offered to those holding a Madman Anime Festival VIP Pass, otherwise, everyone else (whether they attend Madman Anime Festival or not) will be able to purchase a ticket for $15.00 from the festival ticket booth.

Information on wider Australian screenings of Black Butler: Book of the Atlantic will be confirmed at a later date.

UPDATE: You are not required to have a pass to Madman Anime Festival to attend the screening – as it is available as a standalone ticket.
