If it's just subtitled and opening "throughout the U.S." early next year, it could mean one of two things (or both): 1) they are testing the waters with a limited run for a wider one (with a dub) if reviews and word-of-mouth are good, or 2) they are trying to meet theater-showing requirements in order to make it eligible for Oscar consideration. It seems like the powers-that-be have a bit of confidence that they could distribute the film on a bigger scale, but are taking it cautiously, which is the smart thing to do--even for a film with its level of mainstream potential. It is an anime film aimed at an older audience, after all.

For anime films you can mention that was distributed subbed, I can mention the wider distributed ones that were dubbed ...Sword of the Stranger, Eureka Seven, Bleach Movie 1.. Having a sold out release in California (Disappearance of Haruhi) does not equate to a good performance in wider distribution. For that you need a dub for anime title imo.
Toy Story 3 will knock it out the park. |

I have absolutely no clue what this is, but I think I want to see it! The girls are cute...
It reminds me of a cross between F-Zero and Jojo's, though. Hmm. |

Saw it at Reel Anime this year (in Australia). Somehow each session for each film was very packed. That said it was at an arthouse film cinema, and only one cinema per capital city.
I hope a lot of people (non anime fans most especially) give it a shot, it's a wild ride (pun intended). |

For sure, regardless. But at least they can try to gain the prestige of being "Academy Award-nominated", perhaps on the merit of its technical feat of being totally hand-drawn. Like the old saying goes, "it's an honor just to be nominated"...I'm just not certain of its chances even there, in spite of its good reviews so far (non-Ghibli anime film aimed at mature audiences). If it acutally did, it would be a big coup for Madhouse. |

I have a friend who isn't really interested in anime (besides the odd Ghibli movie, dubbed) but I know I can get her to come with me to see this with 2 little words: Kimura and Takuya.
To be honest, that's a big part of why I want to see this film too (who do you suppose introduced her to him? ). I'm really, really hoping that, Madison being a university town, it may have a shot at a showing. Probably too early to get too excited about it though. |
