Description:

Umiko, a grandma, realizes that she has the same desire to make movies as university student Kai—and soon she enrolls in Kai's film school! "It's not the movies you like…you like watching the people watching the movies." Just what are you going to do with the rest of your life? It's the question you'll always have to answer, no matter your age. Umiko Chino is a 65-year-old retired woman in mourning for her late husband. Remembering how they used to watch films together, Umiko goes to the movie theater for the first time in years, where she meets Kai, an attractive, ambiguous young man who studies filmmaking at a nearby art school. They would seem to have nothing in common, except for this—both of them sometimes like to look more at the way the audience reacts to a movie than the movie itself. Kai believes Umiko has the same deep desire he possesses to experience how people respond to something they made… and challenges her to stake the rest of her life discovering that thrill. Soon Umiko surprises herself by enrolling in the same film school as Kai. But sailing into this new sea, she's suddenly inside the currents of her fellow students' lives, a much younger generation that she struggles to understand, driven by their own passions and their own relationships. Who's really experienced at life, and is it old age or observation that brings wisdom? And does what you're looking for change when you look with your eyes instead of through a camera lens…?

Amidst swirling prejudice and fear of aliens, Elie, an alien girl, arrives as a space goodwill ambassador.

Q2 - Yotsuyushika★Shoujo (夜露死駆★少女): GALs TOKYO, a city where morning never comes. Night after night, girls who have lost their place in reality, known as "Gal P", gather here. Their goal is to become the winner, the "Queen" in a game called "Queen of Butterfly" or "QoB" for short. Q3 - Nocturne: Kono Grotesque Yoru ni (ノクターン～このグロテスクな夜に～): A world after humanity has perished. Traveling in a van are Ayame, a pure-blooded vampire, and three girls who survived by being bitten and "infected" by her. There, they find a sky full of stars that illuminate the night as brightly as day, and fields of glittering golden grass—even a desolate world looks so beautiful through the eyes of a vampire. They enjoy a simple everyday life in this world left behind.

One day, while Chiikawa and Hachiware were relaxing in the square, Usagi suddenly appeared with a flyer stuck to its face. When Hachiware checked the flyer, it was an invitation reading “Special Invitation to a Special Island.” Lured by promises like “Get 100x rewards for simple island quests!” and “Limited-edition island ramen, exclusive sweets—sweet and spicy treats all practically free!”, Chiikawa and the others decided to go on the island retreat. Boarding the ship alongside Rakko, who was suspicious of the flyer's contents, the group landed on the island... only to find something waiting for them there...!?
