It seems that they don't have the money. A friend of mine showed me a Japanese newspaper article about it. The native movie industry is bleeding and nearly comatose after repeated muggings by imported American, Korean and now Indian films. Most Japanese movies don't make much money and that makes it hard to get a budget. What's worse, filming in Japan is extremely difficult. In America they'll clear the streets for you if you're making a movie. In Japan you're viewed as a pest making unreasonable demands. It's very hard for directors to get permission to film anywhere and large areas are off limits. Some directors have taken to using hit and run filming tactics. You cause a traffic jam that keeps the cops away then film your scene and run. By the time the cops get there you're long gone. If they figure out who you are they'll demand a letter of apology promising that you'll never do it again. As one director said, "Those things are easy to write. I've written lots of them." |

The special effects are actually better than I expected, given the above reasons and the track record of most Japanese special effects films.

Hmmm, I tried IE and it worked fine. I couldn't even get it to load up (no sound, either) with Mozilla.

I got it to work with Firefox, though it kept on re-buffering and skipping during playback. It looked decent enough, given limitations. . .you have to admit, the Chise (Weapon Form) character designs from the anime were fairly "out there," and it'd be hard to duplicate. As long as they do better than the Cutey Honey live action movie, I'm satisfied.
 
Also, this question has come up before in sub vs. dub debates. . .if you don't know Japanese, can you really honestly judge the acting? It's problematic enough in subtitled anime, but in a raw trailer like this, how much can be judged if you don't know what they're saying? I understood a fair amount of it, but I won't say anything because I'm a lousy judge of acting in any language  .
