I see they learn well the Hollywood's art of making movie trailer.
The giant samurai reminded anyone of Sucker Punch?

The BD was only just released on February 3rd....

Movies tend to take months to get subbed.

The animeisdead sub is out. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing.

No amount of good subs can make this awful movie good. It's the second GITS movie, meeting Guilty Crown.

It is a decent movie but nothin brilliant. I liked the "woman" character mostly. The rest is weird. Sub from blaze is nice and honest...but statin in the sub "don't know that" is odd

I don't even know... The amount of references is borderline insane. They're not even meaningful for the most part, just references as an excuse for the viewer to attach some sort of pre-defined values to those characters, because the writers couldn't create some original characters of their own. In some ways I absolutely despise this work. Animation and voice acting is great as you'd expect from a high budget movie though.

What we have here, is a very well-made zombie movie.

The setting is interesting, the visuals are fantastic, there's a bunch of zombies biting people, it's got flamethrowers, an android, and one of the protagonists even gets into a fistfight with Frankenstein's monster. It's glorious insanity.

Note that in addition to the post-credits scene, there's also a character monologue over the second half of the credits.

It's as though you've never heard of the alternative history genre. I suppose you must really hate period pieces and any shows that use an Alice/Cinderella/Kaguya/etc. sort of theme as well.

Seriously though, were any of these characters anything at all like this before? Have any of them ever interacted before, in a setting like this one or even at all? The writer(s) most certainly did create a cast of original characters, they just happen to share the same names as some pre-existing characters.

While I'm not really seeing the GitS comparison, toward the end it does indeed evoke Guilty Crown to a striking degree.
