What interests me most is which release schedule they will adhere to. One movie a year, two years?

Is 3Hz not involved with the movie?

Seems like it. Actas can do it decently alone but they are infamous for production delays and they are already making GuP movies...

Great to finally hear something about Princess Principal again. Loved the series to bits and great to finally have a release date for the first of these movies!

Also great to see Yuki Kajiura will be back with her amazing soundtrack
