FUNimation Films?!

[Pika Hikari KT]

Check out what I just found:

FUNimation Films is here and fans will find a great new way to enjoy their anime. Starting March 2006, you’ll be able to catch FUNimation’s biggest hits on the screen in feature length movies as well as special previews of the hottest series to come out of Japan before their DVD release. Each month will bring you a new movie or series premiere at your local theater. You’ll get the chance to get all your friends together to enjoy anime on the big screen!

FUNimation Films will be going nationwide in March at select theaters starting with a double feature of Dragon Ball Z Fusion Reborn and Dragon Ball Z The Return of Cooler. Following that, fans will get the opportunity to catch a sneak peek of the upcoming series Basilisk in April. Our first three months on the big screen will also feature Trinity Blood in May.

To help spread the word about anime on the big screen, FUNimation Films will be working with Operation Anime. If you’re involved with a club and want to get involved, make sure you’re a part!

Just wanted to pass the news along... It's unlikely they'd air Fusion Reborn where I live, but I'm hoping!^_^

old news......

 

[Chris]

Fusion Reborn is only playing in SIX locations around the US.

Oddly enough, New York is NOT getting a showing.

Reborn of Fusion at theatres? Even if they don't show it at your location, you could still buy them at the store.

Return of Cooler? Isn't that the old movie released years ago?

Basilisk and Trinity Blood, eh? Are they anime? I don't know about those.

No Florida... OH THE SADNESS... ;_;

Yet again, Californina gets a bunch of places screening it. -_-;

My best hope is Georgia, but then again, why bother when I can just get it when it comes out? Or download it off the internet?

Basilisk and Trinity Blood, eh? Are they anime? I don't know about those.

yea they are. Basilisk is about ninjas and stuff like Naruto but much darker. the original manga is coming soon here in US by Del Ray.

Trinity Blood is originally a novel(not manga!) that has godlike illustrations. I mean damn, you'll be blown away by the art illustrations. like here: http://browse.minitokyo.net/gallery/?aid=828&index=3

The novel's author have sadly, died. I believe a friend of his continuing the work. The illustrator is still alive.

Now an anime is out and pretty damn good with excellent music.

Okay, Basilisk and Trinity Blood looks interesting. I guess I'll find more information about those elsewhere. Thanx.
