I'm wondering if they're waiting 'til volume 3's release to animate more stuff, since they'd be running a little low for another 26-episode order. But then, they could also be testing things with this film too (if they're spending their budget wisely on it). It's going to be a theatrical film apparently, and there will be more info in the next issue of Birz.

Though I can't help but wonder if there might be protests over the film, even if there's no chance of Korea even being involved anywhere in it (ahh, as understandable as it is, it's sad that we'll probably never see that Asia Class strip with China and Korea in the anime now). I'd love to hear Sweden, Finland, Hungary, Spain, and Sealand takes on MKC.

I suppose volume 3 will probably reprint the recent Nordic strips, along with whatever else Himaruya has done as of lately. The Nordics would be amazing to see in the anime or movie, provided that the DEEN character designers don't mess too badly with their color schemes. But animated Norway and Iceland would be much love!
