Mentioned this on J-ACE awhile back and I've been trying to follow this flick every step of the way. Has there been any word on anybody picking this up for Stateside distribution though?

We'll see how the film performs at the Japanese box office when it opens in January -- I hope that Mark Schilling of the Japan Times reviews it favorably.
