However, having grown up entrenched in the bizarre, sex-obsessed culture of Japan, he's not properly equipped to man up and handle interaction with the opposite sex and, well, uncomfortable things happen. This is a stripped-to-its-underwear story about a nerdy boy who is too nebbish and awkward to deal with girls, yet somehow finds himself on the precipice of an honest-to-goodness relationship. Why it's Fantastic: Boys on the Run is like if Scott Pilgrim existed in the real world and grew up wishing he could be fantasy Scott Pilgrim. You'll Like it if: You like comedies filled with awkward tension and unflinchingly realistic characters. I'll admit neither of those names ring a bell with me, but discovering new talents is what makes FF so great. Who is Involved: This is the directorial debut of a one Daisuke Miura and based on a manga by Kengo Hanazawa.
Note: We're not saying these are the ten best films playing the festival, these are ten that truly embody the spirit of the festival and should be only missed at your mortal peril. So, hopefully we can make it a little bit easier for you with our recommendations of the Top 10 Don't Dare Miss These Films playing this year. It's a daunting task for the fest to scour the globe for fresh genre films every year, and it's an even more daunting task to assemble a schedule of what to see should you be fortunate enough to actually make it to Austin, Texas for the last week of September.

Even when I didn't regularly attend the US' largest genre film festival, I'd spend months trying to actively track down the movies they played, and then once I had gathered enough of them together, I'd hold day-long movie marathons with friends to catch up on the best in horror, sci-fi, action and dark comedies from around the world.
Fantastic Fest is my favorite week of the year.
