IRREFUTABLE PROOF THAT LIFE ON EARTH WILL COME TO AN END, BECAUSE THEY’VE FINALLY DONE IT. THE FINAL TRANSGRESSION. YOU KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT. DEAR GOD, THEY’RE MAKING A LIVE ACTION SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO MOVIE.
I am informed by reliable sources that the project will be helmed by the director of Returner, which isn’t the worst news in the world. Not much up at the film’s official site yet, but you can check it out HERE.
While I’m at it, there’s also some new stuff up for the highly anticipated Yamato Anime Revival, REBIRTH CHAPTER. December 12, you 45 year-old boys.
Okay. That’ll do it. The Witching Hour approaches.
