Anime fans will definitely get a kick out of this. It's an old TV anime series from the early 70's that was revived in the 90's and now gets a staggering live-action treatment. Looks to be heavy on the CG, but there's really no other way to go when you're adapting anime to the live action realm. Can't wait to see this, preferably theatrically, before it hits DVD. Personally, I'd line up for this before SKY CAPTAIN.

It looks interesting. CG is a little obvious, but it actually looks like it might be a decent action film with some dramatic elements.

It looks good. Especially the dudes with the swords.

We will see.

I'm not a big Anime guy but I think this looks pretty good.

[Scott DeToffol]

Very interesting, looks high budget.

Can't remember where I read it, but someone on some other forum suggested it was somewhere around $47 million (US), or $5 billion Yen, as reported in various Japanese media. Allegedly the most expensive picture ever made in the country. At least they used source material a lot of Japanese would no doubt be familiar with, and knowing how tightly anime and manga are woven into the culture, I'm sure it'll do well over there, and perhaps throughout Asia.

[JohnS]

Just saw this as well.
Never seen the anime, but this movie looks like it will be really good.
great look to it.

[JohnS]

Is there any american info on this.
everything seems to be written in japanese.

Are there any R1 DVD's?
and how much are they taking from the Anime version? (70's/90's?)

and I'm assuming WE won't beable to see it untill DVD?

[James Zubb]

According to the interview here the budget was $6 million! Doesn't seem right to me.
