Cool, Mamoru will be directing this film, his first movie in 3 years. I am definitely looking forward to see how this one will turn out to be. Please let this film have a speedy BD release as well.

Can't wait to see a PV soon.

A must watch. I really like most of his movies. I am pretty curious on how he will handle an action movie.

Okay, gotta keep my calm. Sounds like a good premise to me. This is gonna be cool...

HOW TO SAVE ANIME IN THREE SIMPLE STEPS

  1. To have Mars of Destruction, Skelter Heaven, and Pupa properly adapted in TV series form by Madhouse
  2. To have Inferno Cop properly adapted in TV series form by Bones, director: Urobuchi Gen
  3. An anime crossover of Mushishi x ARIA x Haibane Renmei.


Should even one of the above conditions cannot be done, anime is still at risk.

Great news, guessing it'd be more like Summer Wars than Wolf Children then, since it's supposedly an action flick.

"In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH

Has it really been three years? I remember watching Ookami Kodomo about two years ago...but at any rate, it does feel like it's been awhile, so definitely looking forward to this ^^ Does sound more like a Summer Wars than the other two slice of life.

Pretty sure. The last movie he directed was Ookami Kodomo in 2012 and since this one will be coming out in Summer of 2015, it would be. Apparently, tagline indicates 'action flick' so I would expect more action than Ookami Kodomo.

After Wolf Children (Which I just watched like 4 days ago), he's sticking to the winning formula again, but this time an action movie!
