One of anime's rising stars, Natsume made his directorial debut in 2012 with Original Video Animation Hori-san to Miyamura-kun. Other works he has been involved in include Bokurano, The Tatami Galaxy, Gurren Lagann, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Naruto Shippūden and the feature-length Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos.
A multi-media pop. culture festival covering movies, games, comics, sci-fi, anime, manga and cosplay, MCM Scotland Comic-Con is set to be Scotland's biggest ever Comic-Con event. Following a highly successful debut in 2013, this year's show will run over the full weekend.
