The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl UK Cinema Release Delayed

UK Anime Distributor have today revealed on social media that their theatrical release of The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl has been delayed until the 2nd October 2017.

A reason for this delay was not given but the film was originally scheduled for release in selective cinemas across the UK on the 20th September 2017; so it does come as a bit of a surprise to see it pushed back by two weeks.

For those unfamiliar The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl is a feature-length-film based on Tomihiko Morimi’s novel which sees a black haired girl known as Kana Hanazawa strolling through the night and interacting with eccentric characters.

Gracefully yet violently, The Girl with Black Hair (Kana Hanazawa) swirls through the abstract Kyoto night a joyful tempest. Blowing through pub crawls, festivals and book fairs, her youthful glee infects parties of increasingly eccentric characters, but amongst the debtors, existentialists and the God of the Old Book Market, can she be convinced “coincidental” encounters are fate and will she notice the Senpai (Gen Hoshino) in pursuit of her love? Whether the hands on your clock move fast or slow, The Night is Short, Walk On Girl.

We can expect Anime Limited to reveal further details in the coming weeks; but for the time being at least The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl won’t be available in UK Cinemas until the 2nd October 2017.
