That sounds great. I can't wait for this movie. I loved Star Driver so much and I miss it a lot.

Surprising to see more anime films cross the 120 minute gap, it almost seems standard that big Hollywood blockbusters run 150 or more these days.

Japan's Film Classification and Rating Committee (EIREN) listed Takuya Igarashi's Star Driver the Movie with a runtime of two and a half hours.

Huh. I wonder what kind of story the movie has that it would last for two-in-a-half hours? Let's just hope nothing gets too dragged out pacing-wise.

The committee reviewed the film on October 22 and gave it a "G" rating.

...................................................................................Huh?!

Most movies in Japan seem to get a "G" by default unless they have content that fits specific criteria. That'st the opposite of the United States, where it seems that film companies have to work exceptionally hard to make a film that earns a "G" rating.

Whoa! Nice. I usually don't like it when movies go past the 2 hour mark, but for Star Driver, I'm more than happy to watch. That's long enough for there to be a decent chunk of all new animation, I hope.

Just received my Robot Spirits Tauburn figure in the mail today, actually. So this has been a Star Driver-y day for me. Love that show.

I just hope it gets brought over here eventually by someone, since Bandai Ent. is no longer around. I just got the series on bluray yesterday.


Here's to hoping Sentai Filmworks / Funi picks it up, and not AoA Laughing
