Oh, didn't see the manga, but the movie seems quite interesting. Can't help but think it's comedy. Hoping for a fast release in uk as well.

Other than the homeless dudes... nope. Not much comedy. \

I'm so excited for this.

I'm pretty excited about those live-action 20th Century Boys movies coming on here, it being my favorite manga. . I saw the first one already, and it was pretty good. I can hardly wait to own the trilogy on DVD.

The first movie is already out on DVD over here. The 2nd one has been shown at a few sci-fi cons I believe and will likely be out on DVD before the end of the year. Not sure on the current status of the 3rd one in the UK though. I think it's planned to have been shown/ released before the year is out though. (Family do work for 4Digital Media the company with the license in the UK)

ENORMOUS spoilers for the manga in these trailers - might want to put up a warning about that.

I always feel reluctant about live action Japanese shows (they're often so low budget), but... it's Urasawa, I have to see it!

What are you talking about? What about the BUNNY SUIT!!!?!!

This is probably the highest budget for a Japanese movie I've seen. Actually I read that it was the most expensive Japanese film production in history, but that's only because it was film-3-movies-at-once deal like Lord of the Rings. These movies look even better than I thought would.

i'm kinda surprised that it looks quite good ,gonna take time to see it once all of them are out xD
the only problem i see is that girl in Kanna - role, she seems so awkward in the trailer, hope it's not like that in the movies
