| Awesome, congratulations to NA fans! I hope this will screen in Mainland China theatres soon too... |

| Great to see it come over officially, but it worries me that it may not receive a dub as well considering Sentai owns the TV series. If so, I would be very disappointed. |
| Yay! Been ready to watch this since it came out. |
 |
| No matter who licenses this film they ain't gonna release around these parts. |

| Hopefully this means I'll finally be able to watch this soon. |
 "They escaped the weight of darkness, to forge a path into the marrow of the spirit. They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy, an emptiness that quells the null, a pool for the forgotten..." |
| The movie didn't do well in Japan due to COVID. I do hope it makes it budget back through international licenses. |
