Info dump: list of US theaters to screen Gantz in 2011 photo



We've already informed you that the Gantz live-action adaptation will be playing in American theaters one entire release week before Japan's. We've also notified you that this version will indeed be dubbed over in English. Now, whether this totally sways your choice to seek out the film all depends on how badly you want to see excessive violence, tight leather suits, highly advanced weaponry and, of course, explosions aplenty. Or maybe your loyalty to the original manga alone will drive you to lay down $10+ for a viewing experience that may or may not live up to your expectations.

Hesitations aside, the Fathom Events and New People branches of Viz Pictures have released an informative document containing a multitude of venues spread across 46 states that will be playing the film starting January 20th, 2011. If you live in Alaska, Mississippi, South Dakota or Wyoming...sorry, no Gantz for you. The Palin family, I'm sure, is not pleased with this news as there will be an interview with the film's stars Ninomiya Kazumari and Matsuyama Kenichi following the initial screenings.

So, go ahead and check out the listings. Are you able to pick out a location near you?

There isn't a dub track trailer yet, but you can catch the newest Japanese one down below if you haven't viewed it already.

Remember: Gantz is being released in two halves. Gantz Part II will arrive in Spring 2011.

I'm gonna watch this for sure. I won't be able to fully understand it (seeing as I'll be watching it in Japan) but it looks awesome.
Is there going to be any Canadian theatres showing this or am I shit outta luck?
YES! I will be able to go see it I'm SO excited now!
A high budget live action anime adaptation? O.o

*pinches self* Joking aside, just the production value alone makes me want to go see it.
UGH, they picked the three worst theatres in Houston for ittttt D:

I mean, the screens themselves are nice, but the area is scary :< Lots of muggings and stuff. I wouldn't even be able to go in cosplay...
@Alice
C'mon, Willowbrook AMC isn't that terrible. You only see the suburban gangstas there at like friday nights. Join my posse and we shall protect you.
Hell yeah, its playing 10 minutes from where I live, was afraid I'd have to drive a long ass way to watch it. Its subbed right? I'll be pissed as hell if its Dubbed.
Just saw that it's dubbed. FML.
@Red:
Well, if I go with dudes that's another thing, but once it gets dark there in Willobrook, it suuuucks. Seriously, like at least 3 people have been mugged outside, while I was IN THE THEATRE and other muggings happen too =_=

Welp, it's better than the Marqu*e. Text me and we'll go~



also, @failurebydesign: dubbed sucks, but maybe they'll do another limited release subbed if they get enough ticket sales. Let's all go see it a whole bunch, then!! *hopeful thinking*
@Ramminchcuk- Im Canadian too I think we are SOL. It wouldve been cool if they at least had it play in 1 theatre in Toronto though
I'm close enough to see it at an IMAX theater - which would probably be mentally scarring (I mean, it IS dubbed...).
@Link1987: Yah that still wouldn't mean much for me, I live in Alberta haha.
yes!! dayton ohio on the list!
OMG, I'm on the list!!! Must watch! ^o^
Oh wow. it's actually going to show at the cinema I frequent. I'll have to go.
Once again, huzzah! I live close to Coral Springs and thank you both Viz for making this happen and thank you Mike Le Chevalier for sharing this information with us.
Even though I usually go to the Silverado, 15 minutes from my house to go see a movie.. I might have to take a quick trip down to Willowbrook...

@Alice
Every time I've been to Willowbrook everything's fine. I usually go to the mall once a week and I've never had any problems or have seen anything happen. Maybe it was just bad timing when you went..
None of the theaters listed are less than an hour drive away from me. Our local theaters only charge $6 a person and I know if I went the hour to Chicago, the tickets wouldn't be anything near $6. Between the likely high ticket price and the gas money to get there, it's just not worth it. I'll just wait until it's on DVD.

Japanator Interviews: DAISUKI.net's Eri Maruyama

You might of heard that there is a new streaming site that has just launched out of Japan. It is being backed by some big names in the anime world like Aniplex, Sunrise, and Toei. What could that exactly mean for you, you ask? Well, let me let Eri Maruyama (International Business Development) at DAISUKI answer that as well as many more burning questions that I had about the new service.

Review: Blood-C

When I watched Blood C in Summer of 2011, I thought it was a show that had a lot of promise. It started out with the distinct feeling that something wasn't right in an idyllic town that was being pressed upon by nightmarish b...
