Anyone who has seen the Highlander movies already know what's the story is about. There is a trailer (http://www.imagi.com.hk/movie/web/highc.htm) in the website, and I must say it looks fantastic. The director is Kawajiri Yoshiaki (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=72) who also directed movies like Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Ninja Scroll the Movie, X-TV and etc. The character design is going to be done by Minowa Yutaka (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=73). The synopsis in the following is taken from ANN (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=5552)

Colin MacLeod, the immortal Scottish Highlander, travels with the wise-cracking ghost Amergan in search of the immortal despot Marcus Octavius, who killed Colin's lover on the Celtic plains centuries earlier. The once great city of New York is now submerged under water, with only one dominant fortress towering over the sea, the fortress of Marcus Octavius. MacLeod is torn between saving the survivors of New York and hunting down his nemesis.

Eagerly looking forward to it. Will update once more info is known! :)

That trailer was pretty good. Too bad it's Highlander. Don't like Highlander that much. Ninja Scroll 2 movie would be much better.

Oh man! So glad this is gonna be an anime. Highlander is decent but Ive always wanted to see it done anime-style.

Thanks for the info monir :D

Eh... Highlander in post apocalyptic settings hasn't worked for me so far. (There was the second Highlander movie, and a French animated series...)

I love the concept of Highlander in so many ways, as immortal swordsman battling across the centuries for control of the planet just screams 'cool' as loud as you can bear to listen. However, the movies have always been, frankly, total crap, and this makes me sad. The TV series was surprisingly good (what I've seen of it), and I could never understand why that could never translate into the movies.
Also, is it just me or didn't Duncan kill Colin in Endgame? :eyebrow:

That said, I'll check it out when it hits, but I won't be holding my breath for it. I do hope I'll be surprised, though.
