In my opinion, the HxH universe has huge potential for movies, gaidens, w/e...
So here's to hoping they don't blow it : )

Should be noted that togashi will write the movies story and the movies plot will be about the massacre of the kurata clan. Anyway the movie sounds awesome and i can't wait to see it .

A more appropriate title is "The Scarlet Phantom" taken from the kanji rather than the subtitle. The subtitle "Phantom Rouge" seems to be just a faulty Engrish version. The eyes of the Kurta are 緋色 scarlet, like in the title 緋色の幻影.
When they announced the film months ago, I was sorta meh about it. It seemed like they were really going to milk the series out into another run-of-the-mill shonen fair -- just another Shonen Jump Movie.
However, with Togashi being on board and being about the Kurta and the Phantom Troupe have totally made me ecstatic. I cannot wait to see what this is going to be like

Trailer! I want a trailer now!!!
I seriously wonder how they're going to do this, I mean if any HxH fan knows, its that if Kurapika and the troupe ever mix, someone's going to die Plus I was really hoping we'd get all four of the guys (Gon, Killua, Kurapika and Leorio) in the film, but alas, my hopes may have been dashed...
Oh well...TRAILER!! TRAILER!! I WANT A TRAILER NOW!!

This. I guess I'm intrigued. And I hope they also show the story behind the geneiryodan itself.

So they're releasing it on the Coming of Age Day week-end ? Not a bad choice, there's not a lot of possibilities at the beginning of the year apart from that week-end until the spring break and that's when Doraemon comes around so I think they did the right thing.

If you guys' spoilers are true then they definitely picked quite an interesting event to animate. Really, that's a very wise idea.

That's definitely interesting. Although that means the movie will DEFINITELY end with a huge downer ending.
Also, I don't think those spoilers really count as spoilers. We were practically told about them in like the second episode and really early chapters. That'll be like saying Batman's parents getting themselves killed is a spoiler.

What?! Why you sonova... How dare you spoil that Batman tidbit for me!
Not really Yeah, I'm definitely excited for the movie, especially since Togashi seems to be both writing an original story for it and helping to oversee the production. At least he has a great excuse for the manga's current hiatus!

Well the movie could be about how the Phantom Troupe removes the curse from their boss and then Kurapika comes along and kills them all. Just kidding

I'm all for it. Just hoping it isn't the standard good guy vs bad guy plot that's been done to death.
