For this, the latest trailer from Encore Films comes nice and English subbed for not-so-fluent types like myself in lieu of its September 30 release in Japan. The subs lend much more context here so you're not entirely lost in the imagery and spectacle, although the imagery and spectacle aren't don't exactly come dead last. It's an explosive story to follow from start to finish; I speak of the anime with respect to what we're offered in the trailers that have rolled out but Motohiro looks like he's handled himself pretty well on this. I've been long sold on it and I hope Well Go USA snags it first if not Funimation for its North American rollout.

However, as Sato begins his shocking bid for power, Kei realises he must join the fight to end his violent campaign.
