Two of the theaters I've checked (OH and MI) list a running time of four hours.





That can't possibly be right, can it? Aqours doesn't even have that many songs in their repertoire yet.

Hoyts in Australia also list it with a duration of 240 minutes, so I'm guessing that is the duration provided by the organisers.

With an intermission, break for encore and segments where the members talk, sure it can be four hours.

Well, I guess that would justify the $30 ticket price I'm seeing everywhere. Holy cow.

Aquors first live "Step! ZERO to ONE" Day 1 is ~3h30' which only features songs in the anime + 1st&2nd Singles + sub groups 1st singles without intermissions/announcements, so ~4h for the 2nd live sounds about right.

You can expect a set list of ~20 songs : ~90' live performance + MCing intermission parts (5-10' each, every 2-4 songs) + ~30' "limited" animation breaks + ~3-4' Encore anime-like animation.

Don't forget this is the finale of their second tour so it might be longer due to that!! I wish they would show the other live shows, but I'll take what i can get!! Better than not having it at all!! Can't wait to see the Koi no Aquarium dresses!!

I had saw an early listing on Maple Theater's website prior to them posting a time and pricing. Then they posted the time and price and I noped out of that one. It's nice they finally put this and A Silent Voice in their big theater as opposed to the smaller ones that most anime since Kizumonogatari part 1 had been in. It'll probably sell out or nearly so (I think the Love Live movie sold out when they showed it), but I can't justify it with this price.

The Saturday NYC screening sold out in less than 6 hours or so after it was announced on Thursday, to the point where Village East Cinemas had to add a second one on Sunday, like they did for First Live.

Since I was in the area anyway, I went to the physical box office of the theater to buy a Sunday ticket yesterday, and also saving on the service fee for online buying. Just gotta make sure I don't lose the ticket or anything like that. For people complaining about the price, remember that First Live tickets were $35, and that was so worth. I know a bunch of people flew into the city specifically to go to both of those showings.

It's gonna be a good 30th birthday present to myself, especially after I'll also be winding down from working NYCC for the 8th year the weekend before. Hopefully I'll be able to add to my nesoberi collection by then at that con.
