Memories of the first anime start flooding back with that trailer. And the main character designer of this movie didn't even work on the anime before. See, this is how the anime is supposed to look: bright, deep, and glowing colors. If the third anime can capture that look rather than the muddy gray colors the Tartaros arc introduced, I just might sit through even the most infuriating moments of the story.

I wonder if the manga will still be running by the time the movie is released. It is in its climax, after all. Do we have any idea whether it's placed before or after the current arc, or just in the general time frame but can't logically fit anywhere in the story, like the early Dragon Ball Z movies? My money's on before, because of Natsu's arm bandage that he was sporting.
