Wow, it looks way different visually compared to his previous works. I never would have even guessed it was one of his movies based on the art direction.

Even so, it does look awesome. Too bad we'll have to wait ages before it ever sees the light of day outside of Japan (if it ever does that is).

Hey, Rob i know this may be off topic but have u heard of the 1 pound limit on imports http://www.dhs.gov/ynews/releases/pr_1289237893803.shtm
sorry i dont know if anyone will see this.

Only applies to inbound shipments from Yemen and Somolia, and the 1 lb rule is only for toner and ink cartridges on commercial flights. Like most of these rules, it will do nothing to help actual security, but it makes the good folks at Homeland Security look like they are actually doing something.

We have an import license for Japanese goods, so these sorts of bans would not effect us anyway. We do all the paperwork and pay all the duties and taxes involoved. I will say that there will probably be more screening and inspection of small imported packages, so folks getting small parcels of stuff shipped directly from Japan may have longer waits, esepcially for parcels shipped Airmail or EMS.
