Sounds exciting!Anime Insider Magazine wrote:Three new anime films based on popular series - Fullmetal Alchemist, XXXHOLiC, and Prince of Tennis- are poised to break the box office next year.
Tops on the list is one of Japan's most popular TV series Fullmetal Alchemist theatrical adventure is due in the summer of 2005. The film picks up after the end of the TV series, and follows the further adventures of tortured alchemist Edward Elric two years after the events in the original series (which ended this September on Japanese TV). As of press time the film's producers refused to say more, since discussing the plot of the film would reveal the climatic ending of the TV series.
The film version of CLAMP's smash hit manga series XXXHOLiC released in America by Dei Rey, which will be appearing for the first time in animated form. The comic features a witch named Yuuko who grants wishes and important life lessons to lost souls, including a young boy who she takes under her wing. Again, no plot details about the film have surfaced; it's unknown whether this will be an adaptation of the original manga or an all-new story, and no release date has been set.
Based on the successful manga series from Shonen Jump (published stateside by Viz), the Prince of Tennis movie is reportadely a side story unrelated to the manga, which follows the tennis court antics of a young sports prodigy.
Here's the link to the official FMA movie site - it's in Japanese, and the trailers don't show much, but it's something to look forward to
(I also can't wait to find out who Yuuko & Watanuki's seiyuu will be).On a side-note, looks like you can now buy a replica of Ed's automail...
I thought they said it was "Price of Golf!?"
