why not watch FLCLimax in IMAX

[Blatch]

The last thing I saw in IMAX was Pink Floyd's Pompeii concert film. Fun to watch stuff like that on a larger-than-life screen, and I wouldn't mind doing it with anime.

IMAX 70mm Ghibli LFG!!!

Spoiler

This would require animation to go back to a hand-to-cel method, which... not happening.

Yeah, I was gonna say, has there ever been any anime produced that could actually take advantage of that format?

I don't think you'd even want that.

Put it this way: There's a reason no animation was ever shot on 5-perf 70mm (the amount of visible cel flaws in that sharp of an image would've been distracting) let alone IMAX 15-perf. On a 6K digital workspace now it is definitely possible, but there is still zero 2D animation visually worth being laser projected onto a 4:3 100ft. screen (using Lincoln Square's IMAX as the example of course).
