Goodbye, Don Glees! Gets Theatrical Premiere Dates

GKIDS has announced the U.S. theatrical release dates for the upcoming Studio Madhouse anime film Goodbye, Don Glees!

After the movie debuted in Japan in February of this year, Goodbye, Don Glees! will finally play in theaters across the United States this September. There will be fan preview events on two of the days, with the film playing in Japanese with English subtitles on Wednesday, September 14, and with the English dub on Thursday, September 15.

Following these fan events, the movie will have a limited theatrical release in select markets starting on Friday, September 16. For those currently at Anime Expo, Goodbye, Don Glees! is having its North American premiere today at the convention. This is the first original feature from writer and director Atsuko Ishizuka, who directed the acclaimed A Place Further Than The Universe series.

“Teen misfits Roma, Toto, and Drop call themselves the ‘Don Glees,’ an informal name for their backyard adventures,” says the official synopsis. “One day, when the trio gets blamed for a nearby forest fire, they set off into the woods to prove their innocence. As disaster strikes their expedition, tensions flare between the friends as they realize that growing up has taken them on wildly different paths in life.”
