| Wow! It's truly surprising to see a +15 year-old show receiving two sequels, with the second being announced even before the release of the first. |

KitsuFrost said: no, it has been premiered on movie theaters in Japan. it was "mentioned by Hiroshi Kamiya on the premiere stage greeting of the movie (where the casts appear and talk about the movie on the first day it released on movie theater) that the recording of part 2 will begin the next day (which is on Sunday)"....even before the release of the first. |
