Home from #KilkennyAnimated after the best festival ever. People travelled from as far away as the U.S. and Hong Kong and were not disappointed. Book for next year as soon as you can! Now, better get down to work...

@helenmccarthy51.bsky.socialTalked quite a bit about #anime fandom in the Arab world and other countries at #KilkennyAnimated - this dispatch from #MEFCC in Abu Dhabi highlights the interest.
@glider.bsky.socialHappy Monday butterflies! Sorry to leave beautiful Kilkenny today after one of the best festival weekends ever a t #KilkennyAnimated. Definitely one you should book for next year!
@helenmccarthy51.bsky.socialThe Keeper of the Camphor Tree is an intriguing #anime that mixes mysticism, spirituality, family secrets, work problems and one of the most terrifying scourges of modern life into a heartwarming, uplifting story focussed on individual value and humanity. A worthy finale to #KilkennyAnimated.
@helenmccarthy51.bsky.socialOh, what a day at #KilkennyAnimated - wonderful audiences for my talk and the East West #Anime panel, great events all day and an anime premiere in the evening. If you're ever invited to this #festival, don't hesitate - say yes! And if not, come anyway. You'll have the time of your life.
@helenmccarthy51.bsky.socialQuite a few tears in the house at the end of yesterday's #KilkennyAnimated screening of Naoko Yamada's #TheColoursWithin yesterday. One of the points made in the Director Masterclass beforehand was the range of talents and number of people needed to make #anime - it's never just one person's work.
@helenmccarthy51.bsky.socialAn intriguing and rewarding Director Masterclass at #KilkennyAnimated yesterday with director Naoko Yamada and Science Saru producer Kohei Sakita , moderated by Andrew Partridge with translator Bethan Jones.

@glider.bsky.socialI only found out the President of the United States was in Ireland yesterday at the Dylan Moran show that closed the day. I was too busy having fun at #KilKennyAnimated - and DM had too much to say about Ireland and human nature to waste much time on it in a great 90-minute solo set.
