Well, according to the Makoto Shinkai Fan Web (Who performs the wonderful service of translating tidbits from the official Byousoku 5 Centimeter site for us English-speaking Shinkai fans), the final edit of Shinkai's upcoming film had been completed sometime before this previous Tuesday (Jan. 23, 2007) and that it will premiere at the Cinema Rise theater in Tokyo in March 2007! Heck yeah I'm excited!

Check out the screenshots that I've captured from the high-definition preview trailer! You can also download the trailers themselves from the official site, and you can also find subtitled version if you look around (I.E., search on YouTube . I would do it for you, but YouTube was down for maintenance when I was writing this entry...).

EternityOfPain has a very interesting gallery of original sketches and cells from The Twelve Kingdoms and other anime! Most of the material he has seem to focus on Youko Nakajima. Go and check out EternityOfPain's Gallery!
