I guess I'm not clear on the differences, is this movie 'verse or TV 'verse?

Kevin M. Dean

Looks to be an origin/prequel in the TV 'verse.

Ash Ketchum

Who's directing it? And did they have anything to do with previous versions (either film or TV)?

milo bloom

Cool, I need to rewatch the whole series sometime.

Mordred

Blu-Ray available of the first part on July 26th. I hope this doesn't turn into an Evangelion x.x fiasco where we have to wait years between installments.

Sure hope they can retain the American voice talent. It's one of the few anime's I'll watched dubbed.

Just caught it on Netflix and I think they just added it recently. So, it's just two episodes or is there more than two?

WTK

There are a total of 4 episodes.

RichC2

3rd episode was just added to Netflix.

printerati

Thanks for the heads up. Enjoyed the first two.

McHawkson

Thanks! Will watch it tonight.

printerati

And just like that...it's gone?

McHawkson

No, it's there. But Netflix separated all three episodes. So, you'll have to search for "Arise" or "Ghost Tears."

printerati

Thanks for the tip. Curiously, I had searched for "arise" in the Netflix app and on the Roku last night, with no results. Searching for "arise" on netflix.com just now brought up all three episodes, though.
