A Night of a Thousand Horror (Movies) / An 1000 Anime Crossover
From a series I had never heard of, this theatrical special comes from a franchise which, if this had been released into the 2000s as more "Shonen" titles were available in the West, could have been jostling with Naruto and the like as this is a Shonen Jump publication work from an earlier period in the nineties. To think this series is from the same publication My Hero Academia is published in, a huge work you may know of even if you do not dabble in anime, is good evidence that anime has had a long time to get more and more pop culture cache in the West, as nowadays Shonen Jump titles get traction in the West as much as in their home land of Japan. From just this special, an occult horror tale of a male school teacher who just happens to have a demon hand and protects his class from spider demons here, it appeals to me to want to track down this franchise however possible. Something about a comedic toned yet also macabre franchise with this premise already won me over just from this later production.
