Boogie Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 <cite class="e company">Toei</cite> presented an English-narrated international teaser trailer for its tentatively titled <cite class="e anime">Space Pirate Captain Harlock</cite> computer-graphics film on Thursday evening, and various news sources updated their articles on the project to include the teaser. In <cite class="e person">Leiji Matsumoto</cite>'s original 1977-79 manga, the title character rebels against Earth's inept government and fights for humanity with his crew of 40 aboard the invincible space battleship <cite class="e anime">Arcadia</cite>. The manga inspired a 1978-1979 television anime series, a few features, and the sequel <cite class="e anime">Arcadia of My Youth: Endless Orbit SSX</cite>. Writer <cite class="e person">Harutoshi Fukui</cite> (<cite class="e anime">Mobile Suit Gundam UC</cite> novels, live-action <cite>Bōkoku no Aegis</cite>) reconstructed the story to reflect the themes of modern society, and <cite class="e person">Shinji Aramaki</cite> (<cite class="e anime">Appleseed</cite>) is directing with the latest filmmaking technology in the style of a Hollywood production. This film has <cite class="e company">Toei Animation</cite>'s highest production budget ever at the equivalent of over 30 million U.S. dollars. The film will open in Japan this fall.

Lycaon Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I could swear I saw that teaser a year or more back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogie Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Same here. I heard something about this like a year ago and then I completely forgot about it. Anyway, it's looking great. I hope it gets a worldwide release or at least someone picks it up for the BR release... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
