Living in Los Angeles (or living abroad, not just in LA) makes you hungry for Japanese movies…. But in Los Angeles, there are definitely more opportunities to experience Japanese movies than in other cities. The opportunity to see Japanese films on a movie theater screen, side by side with local people, is very rare and enjoyable.
\n\u3000
\nIncidentally, it is only in the U.S. that you can see old Ghibli films at movie theaters. “Studio Ghibli Fest<\/a>” is held every year, showing popular Ghibli films at AMC and other movie theaters. It is a unique opportunity to see nostalgic Ghibli films on a movie theater screen.
