After Naruto the Movie: Road to Ninja and One Piece Movie Z - the Anime Movie Invasion continues with Hunter X Hunter: The Phantom Rogue which will be screening exclusively in SM Cinemas on May 15, 2013.
It is interesting to note, that this is Hunter X Hunter's first movie release - ever. Naruto already has 9 movies under it's belt while One Piece already has 12 theatrical releases. Can you imagine catching the first Hunter X Hunter Movie in cinemas-- that would definitely be something.
You can check out the trailer below.
Hunter X Hunter: The Phantom Rogue was screened in Japan last January 12, 2013, it sold 357,976 tickets during its opening weekend and earned Y456,779,000 (about US $5,143,930) in 257 cinemas.
The story is an alternative telling of the York New City arc. The movie is actually based on an unpublished story from Yoshihiro Togashi himself (the creator of Hunter X Hunter and Yuyu Hakusho - Ghost Fighter) ten years ago but was never used. The manga went on towards a different direction. Fans are very excited since the movie is based on an published manuscript by Togashi himself.
The story of the Phantom Rouge will revolve with Kurapika and his massacred clan the movie also features a new character - Omokage who has the No. 4 spider tattoo.
