Meep. I was searching around Amazon.com for insanely cheap DVDs and the like (and, while I was at it, got Rahxephon volume 2 & 3 for less than two bucks apiece... gotta love Amazon...). But the reason I'm posting this is because I found this peculiar listing for an item: www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000ARXFSC/qid=1125101362/sr=1-6/ref=sr_1_6/104-2471968-8355155?v=glance&s=dvdAs you can see, it's titled "S Cry Ed Movie III W/Collector's Box (2005)." It's being released by Bandai Entertainment, the same company which brought us the s-CRY-ed TV series. It says it's animated, too, another indication that it may be based off of the same series which we all love. Unfortunately, there's no image with the listing, so we're unable to look at the cover. But it's Region 1 encoding, so we know it's not a Japanese release. It's only available in preorder, as it comes out November 22. But I think I'm going to order it; and if it turns out to be something completely different, well, it's only $28 with free shipping. Heck, I can't believe I just said that; I'm lucky when I have $10 bucks in my pocket. So, anyway, more to the point, what do you think? Is it actually a s-CRY-ed movie? And if so, why haven't we heard about its Japanese release? Or could it be one of those American-only releases? Or, am I just insane and is it something completely irrelevant? Also, why is it listed as S Cry Ed movie III, as if there were two others before it? Or is "III" the name of the movie? Another possibility is that it's just a mislabeled second listing of the third volume of the re-release (see below), as it does have the same release date as that... ---------------------------------------------------- Oh, and as a bonus bit of info, they're re-releasing s-CRY-ed in a Special Edition "Anime Legends" form, with 2 discs per volume. Here be links for you: www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000AARKBM/qid=1125101362/sr=1-4/ref=sr_1_4/104-2471968-8355155?v=glance&s=dvd (Volume 1) www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000AARKEY/qid=1125101362/sr=1-8/ref=sr_1_8/104-2471968-8355155?v=glance&s=dvd (Volume 2) www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000ARXFDC/qid=1125102206/sr=1-11/ref=sr_1_11/104-2471968-8355155?v=glance&s=dvd (Volume 3) It figues that they'd put all my favorite cover images on the later releases. We can lose the cover of Volumes 1,2, and 3 of the originals for those three images, IMHO. Stupid Bandai jerks, giving us the sucky covers first time around... OK, well, that's enough of my pointless ranting and speculation for now. Adios.

hmmmm, could that be one of those "movies" where they compile clips from th series and try to make a movie out of them?? I havent seen anything about a movie in any of the japanese magazines..... ...write to bandai and ask~they will write back if you ask nicely.(I have written them a few times)~use the contact address on the official scryed site.

That's possible. Or it could just be Amazon trying to pull our legs and make us buy stuff by disguising re-releases as "movies." Because, like you, I have heard nothing about it in magazines.
Eh, maybe I will write Bandai.If I decide not to be a lazy bum. And while I'm at it, I'll ask for the legal rights to marry Kazuma. Or at least a cardboard cutout of him...

I looked it up and I'm pretty sure it's just the series re-released in some different way like with the platinum box or something like that.
I could be wrong, however.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking that it might be, but they have another listing for that. Although, Amazon being the slightly-confuzzled company it is, it may have mistakenly listed it twice. They do that from time to time...Not to diss Amazon, though, I just got two DVDs for less than $3 total (not including S&H, which is actually more than the DVDs themselves). Can't complain about that ^_^

I bet that "Movie III" is actually the third 2-disk re-release with a collectors box for all three sets. That would be my guess, anyway... especially since it's being released on Nov. 22nd, which is the day the last "Anime Legends" version is coming out.

Movie... speaking of which, how would they make a movie if most of the cast is out of comission? Oh well, if there is a movie, then I suppose it will have to be beforehand, or perhaps as a continuation past the series, introducing new characters and such.

Ah, I was afraid that's what it was... which, probably, it is... I wouldn't mind watching a two-hour flick with nothing but Kazuma running around being hot No plot necesarry. Although I'd be amused if he beat someone (read: Ryuhou) up... which, at the rate that cast members seem to die, might be all there is left in a short time 0.o

Well, that's true. The cast members seem to die off at an alarming rate. Don't the mainland officials have anything better to do than to mess with things? They're the ones who caused everything bad that happened, and all the death. Ayase and Biff would still be alive if they hadn't been taken and turned into vicious fighting machines. Kimishima wouldn't have died if everybody left poor Kazuma alone. Scheris wouldn't have died if Mujo (damnable creature he is) hadn't been on the Lost Ground. Kigetsuki (who is about as important as a grain of sand) wouldn't have died for the same reason. Unkei wouldn't have written himself into another dimension if he hadn't been left alone to fight people Mujo had sent him against, etc... You know, Mujo seems to be the reason behind at least half of the deaths (though thanks to him we come out of the horrid graveyard with two extra Elians...). He ought to be dressed in a G-String and made to strut around in a town full of hicks... That ought to stir something up.

No one wanted Kigetsuki to live, though. I even killed him off again in my wacky basketball fic 0.o Just 'cuz him dying once wasn't enough...
Everything is Mujou's fault. It's true. *nods*

[glow=black,2,300]Well, we can always kill Kigetsuki off again, just like you said. It's just Mujo's fault. Also recall that I said Kigetsuki was about as important as a grain of sand, though that seems to elevate his position... Shall we say he matters about as much as a cubic nanometer of empty space?[/glow]

Hehehe... sounds like a good movie to me. XD Though I'd throw in more fighting and angsting and vaguely yaoi-tinted suggestive dialogue just for fun too.

[glow=black,2,300]Are you suggesting that Kazuma and Ryuho would be...? That's just not something I want to see... make it Asuka instead of Ryuho, and maybe things will be fine. Of course, not everything needs to be hentai, right?[/glow]

(As the series is, IMHO.)

Naw, we don't need any dialogue or yaoi-hints or the like. Fighting, sure, but that's included under "Kazuma being hot." Angsting... nah, I would rather see my happy Kazu-kun. Him being sad and moping like that mop they call Ryuhou would make me wanna cry... (incidentally, if you've all been wondering about why I keep calling Ryuhou a mop, look at the last setence. It's a wierd play on words, I know, but it works ) Ah! Not the KazuRyu!!! Don't you all know Kazuma is MINE?!!!!!!!? No KazuAsu, either, unless this Asuka you are speaking of is me... which somehow, I doubt... Asuka and RYuhou can go off in a corner and fight over Mimori. 'Cuz you know they both love her Who knows, maybe they can go hook up with each other in the process. There are plenty of RyuAsu fans out there...

nah~angsty would be good, I would rather see Ryuhou being angsty than Kazuma running around being happy..... no no no, no RyuhouXMimori....Asuka can have her. I deffinitely vouch for Sherris coming back so it can be RyuhouXSherris.... ...and Kazuma & Ryuhou can contininue to be totaly, weirdly obbsessed with hating each other(or whatever )...its fun to watch ;D
