Although we're not a specialist anime website, just occasionally (when we can hang on to an anime reviewer for long enough) we do cover some of the more interesting anime releases – it's only time constraints and workload that let Vexille slip through the net. Thus for those of you with a passion for anime we're posting this press release for the 2008 London Oktoberfest at the West End Apollo.

On Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th October, Sci-Fi London will be hosting an unmissable festival at the Apollo West End in association with Electronic Arts and Manga Entertainment.
The festival is an all-night affair running on 3 screens in one of London's most luxurious cinemas in the heart of Piccadilly. The program is split into the Zombie All-Nighter featuring Manga's very own super mad Tokyo Zombie, and a UK exclusive screening of Chanbara Beauty from Geneon Entertainment.

The big draw of the night though, has to be the UK premier of Dead Space Downfallas part of the Anime All Nighter program. Dead Space Downfall is the feature length animated prequel to the highly anticipated survival horror game from EA, Dead Space TM for Xbox 360, PC and Playstation 3.
Beez in association with Bandai Visual and Studio Bones are also delighted to include the UK premier of Sword Of The Stranger, as part of the Anime All-Nighter, the incredible new action-adventure feature film from the acclaimed Studio Bones.
According to Jerome Mazandarani, Marketing Director of Manga Entertainment - "Stranger is the most action-packed and exciting anime feature I have seen this year. It's definitely my favourite anime release of 2008 and Manga and Sci-Fi London are very pleased to be able to work with Beez in showing the film early to UK audiences".
Rounding off the fantastic Anime All-Nighter Program is the UK debut of Hellsing Ultimate Episodes 1 and 2, and the action-horror anime, Strait Jacket from Bang Zoom.
