Friggen' heck man! I can't seem to be able to bring the site up to see if it's playing near me or not!

Oh well, we didn't get the Naruto or Fullmetal movies, I don't see why we'd get One Piece's either.....

I assume you mean you want to see Vexille. There’s 1 theater in Wisconsin.

One Piece is my favorite anime. It's actually playing in 2 theaters about 15 minutes from my hometown. However, I'm 5 hours away at college right now. How cruel... Anime cry

I went to see One Piece tonight, though it seems that no one around the Dallas area knew it was playing because a friend and I were the only ones there...

Even so i'm gonna go next week and watch Vexille.

True. We usually don't get anything at all. Did they plan for a limited release in the small towns or something? That wouldn't be a good marketing strategy would it? Confused

Pixeleen: I guess you're lucky this article peaked my interest, I haven't posted on this forum for over 2 years, lol. Very Happy

*edit* It seems to be a highlight on the allen theaters Alamogordo/Las cruces pages now. That's pretty cool!


I'm willing to be there's three other people in the theater, tops.

Ha, I haven't posted in about two years, either. Wink

Three theaters are showing One Piece in New Mexico and yet none of them are in Albuquerque! Oy. The only one of these films I would really like to see in a theater is Vexille, but it looks like the only theater within 30 miles of Albuquerque that's participating in the program won't be showing Vexille. Oh well, at least the Century Downtown 14 here got Paprika about six months ago.

This topic sure drove all of us New Mexicans out of the woodwork! Laughing


Awww....guess some sacrifices had to made to keep the 505. Very Happy

But wow, it does seem to be an odd strategy, missing a lot of the big cities like this. I wonder how successful it will be.

How was it? Judging by the trailer, it looked like they kept it uncut. I assume they still called him Zolo though, correct?

Nope! The movie remains very faithful to the terms pre-existing ONE PIECE fans are familiar to. Off the top of my head: Marines, Devil Fruit, Zoro, Tempo, Sables Pesado, Sanji and Robin's respective French and Spanish attacks, and Scissors and Eyelashes.

Saw the movie last night. Had a pretty lengthy impression written out on another board, but I'll summarize here: TOEI may have dropped the ball with the movie overall, but FUNi manages to salvage it by blowing us away with phenominal Voice Acting and scripting. A few technical differences between this movie and the material used in the game Unlimited Adventure, but nothing to get in a knot over.

Oooh, nice! Cool Looks like I'm gonna have to make my way down to Provo tomorrow.

Acutally, now that I think about it, I think we actually did get the Fullmetal movie, and at the same Provo theater and all. I just wasn't able to go is all. I don't know, it's hard to remember.

EDIT: Heh heh, I found it in the local newspaper movie listings just now. It's funny, it's description says "animated movie from Japan for kids" and the rating says PG-13! Laughing That and tonight at 10 P.M. is one of the showings. Most kids are in bed by then. Wink Like I said though, I'm going tomorow for the 1 PM show. I'm sorry, I'm not going to go see a movie at 10 at night........
