Taka no Tsume 8: Yoshida-kun no Batten File will begin a limited theatrical release in Japan on August 20, 2016, followed by a nation-wide theatrical release in Japan on August 27, 2016.
Taka no Tsume (known in English as Eagle Talon), a Flash animation series directed by FROGMAN with an absurd sense of humor, is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a new theatrical film featuring aliens, cryptids, and creatures of Japanese mythology.
The film is entitled Taka no Tsume 8: Yoshida-kun no Batten File (“Eagle Talon 8: Yoshida-kun’s Cross-Mark File”), and savvy fans man notice a resemblance (entirely coincidental, I’m sure) to a certain long-running American television show involving a pair of FBI investigators dealing with strange and paranormal cases.
