Man, if they got the rights already, why do I have to wait a year for them to get it out here? Theatrical plans maybe? Or is it just a reverse importation issue?

I have to agree with you. I don't want to wait a year either. I hope that it will be early 2008. Before you know it this year will be over. Wink

Well, that will be another 'Shirow' title to pick up since I finally picked up the first movie.

It is good to hear news of some sort of time frame. The only reason I can think of that Geneon didn't get it, is for some sort of plans of a theater release. And more than some sort of one day or weekend deal as well.

Either way, can't wait! Smile

I hope Ex Machina gets a theater release! I saw the first movie in an indie theater in Cleveland, and it just rocked on the big screen. Also, Appleseed is one of those titles that's not really so 'anime-y'; I can see it doing well in theaters.

That's a good point since the R2 theatrical release is scheduled for 10/20/07 with no DVD or HD release date yet on cdjapan.

If Geneon was able to get the first movie a fairly decent release I am sure Warner will probably get this movie more screens. At least I hope so, and yea it probably the reverse importation issue, although I don't see why they can't screen it and then release it earlier.

World wide eh? so it looks like Australia will be getting a release through Warner as well. Unless something with Madman Entertainment has been prearranged...

Jeez....How am I supposed to wait that long? Crying or Very sad Ah well. I can't wait! And a theatrical release would definitely rock hard.

and an unspecified "high definition format disc."


Hmm, started to wonder if it might be their new multi-format disc, but then having a separate DVD release would be unecessary (except to provide a discount sku.) Although, it could always just be dual rather than tri-format.
