Hooray, since last piece of news last year this pretty much looked like a dead project.

Since I'm currently reading the manga I'm actually pretty excited for this movie.

Looks promising enough as well as it does pretty much have a good staff at hand.

Finally some good stuff.
I wonder why Nippon Animation is almost as dead as Gainax?

It's not that they are dead. They just produced mainly childrens anime that nonone watches outside of Japan in recent years.
