Anime Anime Global

Disney+, Disney’s official video streaming service, is now exclusively streaming the nationally theatrical animated film “Tatami Time Machine Blues.” The streaming of the streaming-only episodes, which can only be seen on Disney+, has begun.

“Tatami Time Machine Blues” is a collaboration between “The Tatami Galaxy,” one of novelist Morimi Tomihiko’s early masterpieces that has many fans in the anime, and “Summer Time Machine Blues,” a stage work by Ueda Makoto, who wrote the screenplay for the anime of Morimi’s works including “The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl ” and “Penguin Highway,” as well as the novel.

It was scorching hot in Kyoto on August 12. While “I” and Akashi-san are discussing how to deal with the fact that the only AC at “Shimogamo Yusuiso” in Sakyo Ward has stopped working, a stranger, Tamura, a male student who says he came from 25 years in the future on a time machine, appears. This leads to the start of the world’s most unintentional waste of a time machine between “yesterday” and “today.”

In the sixth episode, which is a “Disney+” streaming-only episode, viewers can enjoy a different world from the time-traveling-related storyline that unfolded in the main story.

Before the streaming, director Natsume Shingo said, “This story is set in one of the parallel worlds that follow The Tatami Galaxy, the railroad research circle “Kyofuku Electric Railway Study Group”. This episode is also the episode that leads up to Tatami Time Machine Blues, where the tatami-colored campus life turns a little more colorful,” he revealed. It describes my first contact with “Ozu” and an incident in the “Kyofuku Electric Railway Study Group,” which “I” joined as a shiny new college freshman.

“Please allow me to spend a few moments here to tell you about my nemesis and ally, the despicable man Ozu.” The parallel world that begins with “I”‘s words, which are interspersed with scenes and tidbits familiar to fans of the original, should be enjoyed to the fullest along with the final episode.
