woa!

the trailer looks really coool....kinda reminds me of any given live action anime movie lol...

but i wanna see...

EDIT:

after looking around a bit...i find that it was an anime in the 70's, and an OVA of it came out in 1993

 

[Czar]

[chibchakan]

Can't wait to see this.

 

[LordJezo]

[MustangSVT]

[weirdichi]

So what's the release date on this? Or is it already out in theatres in Japan?

 

[dighn]

[Psycho18]

[chocobaR]

Does anybody know any good Japanese/Korean Sci-Fi movies?

 

[Lawrencetan21]

WOW. Matrix Japanese Style.

The fansub group I'm part of subbed the trailer a few weeks ago. You can find it on servers in our channel #tv-nihon on irc.zirc.org. We will be subbing the movie once it's released on dvd.

 

[3point14]

looks cool!

 

[Lawrencetan21]

Bump for more info.

 

[LordSnailz]

wowsers!

 

[Tetsuo]

Damn, I was just going to start a thread about this. Glad I didn't.

I need to see this movie ASAP!

Director is Utada Hikaru's husband - she will do theme song also.

My parents are going to japan next month. I'd soo go with them but I know zero japanese. So seeing the premiere of this would be pointless.

 

[THELAIR]

some theatres here have japanese movies released with english subtitles at time of premiere. Not always though. You can still get a general understanding of whats going on just watching.

Translated Trailer:

00:00:02 I'd like to present, to this body, one of our accomplishments.
00:00:13 It's name is "neo-biology." [more like "newly created bio"]
00:00:17 You've made all these already?
00:00:19 I've heard your wife is ill...
00:00:25 What are you going to do about Luna?
00:00:28 I can't stay alone in a place like this when my friends are fighting.
00:00:30 Cause unknown!
00:00:31 "Neo-biology"is still incomplete?!
00:00:38 What are you saying?
00:00:40 That the military is moving. [its forces, etc, whatever]
00:00:44 I wonder why people fight...
00:00:46 What have you done?
00:00:49 The neo-human [think 'artificial'] that will rule the earth.
00:00:53 I'm going...
00:00:57 ...to annihilate the human race.
00:01:03 Code 2-0-6!
00:01:04 Hurry! DO IT!
00:01:06 Luna...!
00:01:13 I will save you.
00:01:17 Who the hell are you?
00:01:22 I'm not human anymore!!
00:01:35 One life, cast aside
00:01:39 and reborn with an invulnerable body
00:01:41 will strike and destroy the iron demons.
00:01:45 If Casshern doesn't do it,
00:01:47 who will?
