"The Night is Short, Walk On Girl" is a comedy about one
epic night in Kyoto. As a group of
teens go out for a night on the town, a sophomore known only as
"The Girl with Black Hair" experiences a series of surreal
encounters with the local nightlife. Simultaneously, she is unaware
of the romantic longings of Senpai, a fellow student who has been
creating increasingly fantastic and contrived reasons to run into
her, in an effort to win her heart.
"We are proud to introduce the next animated feature in our
ongoing partnership with GKIDS," Fathom Events CEO Ray Nutt said. "'The Night is Short, Walk On
Girl,' is a great opportunity for anime fans to experience new
content in this space in addition to STUDIO GHIBLI FEST and several
of our other anime events."
