Nice that they’re airing the movies! Maybe it’s hype for the future episodes. I think those episodes will be centered on Ash.

Glad ICY will have another airing. It was a pretty good movie and one of the few I actually did a rewatch.

Actually, considering how much I'm dissapointed with this year's being the same story but in CG, I might end up watching ICY again.

Yep it was a good movie except the hooh part, felt ti was too short but ash's story part was well covered.

This is a pleasant surprise since the network usually just airs the previous year's movie during July iirc, yet now they're airing the 20th movie almost a week before the 21st movie's television debut. I'll probably try to tune in since I quite like the 20th movie.

It's airing maybe because it was quite popular!!

It's also building up to Mewtwo Strikes Back: Electric Boogaloo, like like how they occasionally show previous movies before the newest one

This LINE live, can I access it from within the LINE client itself?

 

[Dephender]

I'm not sure, my only experience with it is watching streams via their website, but I believe LINE LIVE is a separate client from LINE, both of which are owned by LINE corporation.

So this was weird. Despite the summary claiming there'd be movie 22 news at the end of the broadcast, they didn't actually show any. And they had clearly intended to have something there, since they ended up having a 5 minute long ad break to fill time until the next show started.
Wonder what happened.

Programming mistake perhaps? Or maybe they didn't get the master tapes in time to add them to the broadcast.

The movie aired on BS TV Tokyo the 7th, and that airing DID include the movie news bit at the end. It was the "Nicolun's Poke Love TV" promo short that's been airing a couple places lately, a 5 minutes thing where Nicolun presents some clips from the movie (some old, some new) and talks about the preorder event and the attendance gifts a bit. Also had some short video messages from Ichimura and Yamadera.
