Legend of the Millennium Dragon's English-Subbed Trailer Posted
posted on by Andrew Osmond
The Internet Movie Database website is acquired the film, and it will release the film on October 4 in a standalone DVD and in a Blu-ray Disc/DVD combo pack.
Produced by Studio Pierrot and directed by Hirotsuga Kawasaki (Spriggan), the story revolves around a 15-year-old boy who travels back in time — over 1,200 years ago to the Heian period — and faces a war between oni (demons) and humans in the former Japanese capital of Kyoto. The anime adapts a 2004 two-volume novel from author Takafumi Takada.
Sony Pictures Japan streamed the original Japanese-language trailer, without English subtitles, in March.
Thanks to Daniel Zelter for the news tip.
