| Beautiful poster. Will definitely watch this movie. |
| i might watch this just because of the director |
| They planning to adapt 10 volumes in a single movie? Guess not, maybe a duology or trilogy. |

| in other thread, people keep screaming about lack of originality in anime, but when actually unique anime like this announced, those very same people seems didn't care. |

| Heard the manga's good, I hope the movie does well too. |
| The manga is pretty good, and being able to hear the jazz music should only elevate it. Hopefully the film gets even more people to read the manga. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Tachikawa means an instant watch. I hope he is able to bring maybe someone like Hayashi for the jazz. |
