11:05 - 12:05 Deca-Dence 3-4
Plot Summary: In the latter part of the 2400s, air pollution reached lethal levels. As
humanity hurtled toward extinction, they were also threatened by the
emergence of life forms known as Gadoll causing the destruction of 90%
of the world's population. Large corporations developed cyborgs to carry
out human functions, but the cyborgs eventually began to outnumber
humans and the Solid Quake corporation acquired rights to manage
humanity. The company created a giant dome on the Eurasian
continent in which they installed a colossal entertainment facility
called Deca-dence, with its own independent all-governing system to make
all decisions. The cyborg citizens could then safely experience
adventure as human avatars at Deca-dence without the risk of real
injury.
In the fortress city of Deca-dence, the lowly Tanker girl, Natsume,
dreams of becoming a Gear warrior following her father's death during a
Gadoll attack. She is assigned to a maintenance team led by Kaburagi
whom she discovers is more than he appears. Kaburagi has a secret role
in eliminating "bugs",
humans who threaten Solid Quake's operations. When Kaburagi discovers
that Natsume is listed as dead in the company database, he decides to
keep her under observation and offers to train her to fight.

Plot Summary: Even after dying countless times, Subaru
finally ended the threat of the White Whale and defeated the Witch
Cult's Sin Archbishop representing sloth, Petelgeuse Romaneeconti. But
only shortly after overcoming a tragic ending and reuniting with his
beloved Emilia, Subaru learns that Rem has been erased from this world,
having fallen victim to the White Whale's Fog of Elimination in the
midst of Subaru's death loop. With the White Whale now gone, Subaru and
Emilia are forced to confront a reality they never dreamed would happen.
1:55 - 2:45 Vinland Saga 2-3
Plot Summary: Young
Thorfinn grew up listening to the stories of old sailors that had
traveled the ocean and reached the place of legend, Vinland. It's said
to be warm and fertile, a place where there would be no need for
fighting—not at all like the frozen village in Iceland where he was
born, and certainly not like his current life as a mercenary. War is his
home now. Though his father once told him, "You have no enemies, nobody
does. There is nobody who it's okay to hurt," as he grew, Thorfinn knew
that nothing was further from the truth. The war between England and
the Danes grows worse with each passing year. Death has become
commonplace, and the viking mercenaries are loving every moment of it.
Allying with either side will cause a massive swing in the balance of
power, and the vikings are happy to make names for themselves and take
any spoils they earn along the way. Among the chaos, Thorfinn must take
his revenge and kill Askeladd, the man who murdered his father. The only
paradise for the vikings, it seems, is the era of war and death that
rages on.
2:45 - 4:40 Weathering With You [Movie]
Plot Summary: In June 2021, first year high schooler Hodaka Morishima leaves Kōzu-shima
in order to get to Tokyo. When his ferry to the city is hit by a
rainstorm, he is saved by Keisuke Suga, who gives Hodaka his business
card. As Hodaka becomes broke and struggles to find work, he meets Hina
Amano, an employee of McDonald's
restaurant. She takes pity on him and gives him food. Later on, Hodaka
finds an abandoned handgun in a waste bin he fell onto. After tracking
down Suga's business location, he meets him there and his niece,
Natsumi. Suga hires him as his assistant at a small occult magazine
publishing company, where they investigate urban legends related to the
unusually rainy weather in Tokyo. From a psychic, they hear the legend
of a "sunshine girl" who can control the weather.
Hodaka sees Hina being intimidated into working at a back-alley
club. He scares off the club owners by firing his gun into the air,
thinking it was a toy. He and Hina escape; she takes him to Yoyogi
Kaikan, an abandoned building with a shrine
on its roof, where he throws the gun away. Hina astonishes Hodaka by
demonstrating her ability to clear the sky by praying. Hodaka finds out
that Hina lives alone with her brother Nagi, and they have no adult
guardian. Seeing how they are in a financial trouble, Hodaka proposes to
start a business with Hina with the ability of sunshine girl: a job to
clear the weather for events such as weddings and parties. They create a
website to accept orders and their business quickly becomes a success.
However, when clearing the sky for the Jingu Fireworks Festival, Hina is
shown on television and their site gets flooded with requests, so they
decide to close their business.
A detective with the police search for Hodaka, as his family
filed a search request. They find out that Hodaka was caught using the
gun on a security camera. Officers arrive at the apartment where Hina
lives with Nagi and interrogate her; Hina realizes that because they
have no legal guardians, with their mother having died recently, social
services are going to take them into custody. Hodaka visits Suga, who
has also been visited by the police. Suga fires him and gives him a
retirement allowance, explaining that the police suspect him of
kidnapping Hodaka. Hodaka, Hina and Nagi try to run away, but they are
halted by a heavy rainstorm and snowfall. They take shelter in a love hotel, and spend the night with instant food and doing karaoke.
Hina reveals that her body is slowly turning into water. She explains
that she is the cause of the abnormal weather and is intended to be a human sacrifice;
her disappearance will return the weather to normal. Hodaka promises to
protect her, but the next morning, Hina has vanished into the sky and
the rain has stopped.
The police steps into the hotel room, sending Nagi to the
children's counseling center and taking Hodaka to the police station.
Having already fallen in love with Hina, Hodaka decides to bring her
back to Earth and escapes from the police custody with the help of
Natsumi and her Honda Super Cub.
After her motorcycle is immobilized, Hodaka resumes on-foot to Yoyogi
Kaikan building to reach the shrine. Inside, he encounters Suga, who
attempts to stop him. The police surround Hodaka, but Suga, now inspired
by Hodaka's desperation to see Hina, helps him escape. At the roof-top
shrine, Hodaka jumps through the shrine gate and is transported into the
sky, where he finds Hina and asks her to leave with him, insisting that
Hina let go of her worries about the weather and start living for
herself. As soon as they come back to the rooftop shrine, Hina, Hodaka,
Natsumi, Nagi, and Suga are all arrested, and the heavy rains resume.
Hodaka is sentenced to a three-year probation and sent back to his home
Kōzu-shima.
Three years later, the rain has been falling without end in
Tokyo, submerging much of the city. In the spring of 2024, having
finished his probation, Hodaka graduates from high school (2 of his
classmates ask whether he was wanted by the Tokyo police while he thinks
it is a love proposal coming his way) and returns to Tokyo to join the
university. He meets with Suga, who has expanded his business. Suga encourages him to find Hina, After all they've been through, will they finally reunite?
