I was wondering if VIZ was ever going to license the Hunter x Hunter films and now we finally have confirmation that they are. Well atleast the first one. Very Happy

Do the voice actor announcements for Nostrade and Melody really count as announcements? We've known them for five to six months now. Confused

This is a good move, in my opinion. Says they have a little bit of confidence in the property, actually. After taking so long to actually get set 3 up for pre-order I was starting to worry that they had once again abandoned their fans and were giving up on HxH, the only long running show I've ever decided I was going to buy. Glad to see that they are indeed releasing more of the show, at a better price point, and NOW they are even releasing one of the films. Haven't seen any of the movies, honestly, but I'll give this a shot.

As movies go, Phantom Rogue was a bit of a dud, but I'd say it's worth a watch for fans. I liked The Last Mission a lot more, so I hope this first release sells well for Viz.

Thought it would be a few more weeks before we found out who's voicing Biscuit. Pleased with the choice. Tara is a name I'm always happy to see.

And I'm stoked for the movie release! It's a good sign for the franchise, and I look forward to catching it in theaters.

This makes me happy! Even though I've only got into the fandom for HxH with the premier of the English dub, seeing more of it being licensed gets me excited! I can't wait for this to come out!

i hope they dub the second film as well, before I would of said instead. As this one was not very good.
