RahXephon is not a compilation movie. It's completely new footage with a different POV and, one might say, a different conceptual ending.

I don't mean compilation movie in an artistic sense, it's a technical term. It means the majority of the film is compiled from footage from a TV series or OVA. Another translation would be "compilation edit".

Hmm....any new information?

If no new information has been posted in this thread, then i'm guessing that means we have no new information.

Little Eureka with little skyfish, aw. What a nice Christmas present from Bones. Let's hope we get a trailer soon too. \o/

Doesn't look like Yoshida's usual work. Who's the artist?

The art is credited to an artist called Tomu. I can't find much on the artist except that he has done illustrations before for cover art of novels.

Shiroth · 2008-12-10, 18:56

Trust BONES to tease us with the first image.

Irenicus · 2008-12-10, 19:11

Chibi Eureka!

This will be an interesting remake. Really nice art in the first picture by the way; so...mythical.

This article confirms that in next month's Newtype, there will be a full feature on the movie. There'll be a beautiful illustration by Yoshida that showcases the opening scene in the movie, an interview with Kyoda, materials from the key staff members on the project, and so on.

One slightly worrying detail is that the article also says to look forward to checking out the "new scenes" for the movie edition featured in the preview. Such wording is usually reserved for movie editions that also use a bunch of TV footage as well.... I really hope that's not the case. Anyhow in a little under 3 weeks we should know for sure. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed!

A small teaser before next week's Newtype blow out....

The following was spotted at Comiket 75:

Beautiful poster. Hopefully we'll see a much bigger version sometime soon.

icecream · 2009-01-01, 11:42

I hope this doesn't take as long to hit Blu-ray as Sword of the Stranger did.

But isn't 6-7 months after a theatrical movie hits the screens the normal time frame for home video releases?

cyberbeing · 2009-01-02, 02:54

In the USA at least, it is now more like 4-5 months from theater to home video release.

The movie will take place in new alternate universe. No connection to the TV series, but features the same characters.

"Renton and Eureka are 5 years old at the start and Dominic is their Tutor. Eureka gets taken away by the military at some point and Renton goes in search for her several years later."

Hurray for DevilFish and still hoping Anemone is involved with the movie.

duckroll · 2009-01-07, 23:27

The movie is set in a world where mankind has been at war with the mysterious lifeforms known as Image for over half a century. Renton joined the battleship Gekko-go as a member 8 years ago to search for the kidnapped Eureka. Now, in the battlefield, he will meet her again.

Dominic is supposed to be a teacher to Renton and Eureka when they lived in Warsaw 8 years ago. One day after telling them about the legend surrounding the Snow Moon Flowers, he vanishes. Eureka is described as a young girl whose body reacts strangely to direct sunlight. She's captured by the military and kept as their most guarded secret. To get her back, he entered the military. 8 years later, Renton will enter the battlefield with his favorite mech Nirvash.

The article goes on to specify that the story is brand new, and while the names and circumstances might be the same, the worldview and scenario is completely original. It also mentions that while there will be many new animated scenes in the movie, "by rearranging the scenes from the TV series footage, a brand new story and drama can be shown."

I don't have the issue of Newtype myself yet, since it'll only be out officially this weekend. When I do I'll put up nice scans for the article.

P.S. The cast listing in the article lists Renton, Eureka, Holland, Talho, Dominic and Anemone. So those are definitely in the movie at least.

Bleh. Don't like that at all.

Shiroth · 2009-01-08, 12:27

I'm fine with a new story set in an alternate universe. It'll make for an all new experience with the cast that i love. I'm up for that.
