Guys, great news!
According to what my brother read on GoNintendo, Viz Media announced at Anime Expo 2011 that they've picked up the rights to bring the movie Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva stateside!!! :D I'm ecstatic right now, seeing as I've been waiting for this announcement for months. Details are really scarce, and as it's Viz, I have no clue if they'll try to release it in theaters, but hey, just being able to see the movie is good enough for me. Hope they get the game's voice cast (I don't know if the Singapore release did); the in-game cutscenes really just made those games special so keeping with the games would probably be best. But here's me just speculating! We'll see what else is announced in the future. And you can be sure that when my brother and I can get a copy of the movie, I'll be sure to review it ^_^
And the funny part is that I just wrote about wanting to see the movie brought stateside like TWO DAYS AGO. God really listens when you talk, even if you don't think what you're saying is important. God is concerned with your cares, no matter how small you think they are.
As for One Piece, not much said at FUNi's industry panel. We're guessing that they're saving some big announcement for Otakon, but I don't want to get my hopes up like I did for the other conventions they didn't announce anything at. Unfortunately for me, I keep getting my hopes up without wanting to do so in the first place... but at least there's the Layton announcement to tide me over for quite a while ^_^
So yeah, just so excited, so I had to share. With that, have a fantastic night, and minna-san,
Sayounara! ^_^
