Saturday’s GAT III: LiK-SaNg


Good evening ladies and gentlemen. After GAT II’s unfortunate cancellation comes the return of the GAT series straight to GAT III: LiK-SaNg, whose focus is a tribute to Japanese music and animation, and in particular shows that are short, obscure or otherwise unfinished. That being said, they are all selected for the quality of their animation and delivery (except for Fatal Fury: the Fatal Fury series inadvertently delivers a comedy, sorry about that). Do not be alarmed by the odd episode numbers, for these are the ones that bring out the best substance of each show while being largely self-contained. You do not lose much of the story for any of them.

Do note though, that this selection will be very heavily ladened with subtitles. The list of English shows consists of Samurai Jack, Fatal Fury, and parts of the documentary segments.

Thanks for your patience, and I hope that you all enjoy the evening’s entertainment as it ought to be one hell of a ride.
