And just today I thought "I wonder if there will be any news about that new Votoms movie in the nearest future", haha.

Oh, so the story will be told in two separate movies? Cool. I know they will be anime-original movies, but hearing about there being two of them instead of one implies that the storytelling will not be rushed or overly simplified just to be squeezed into one movie. Well, that is if the length of these movies is long enough. I think they might be circa 1h 30 minutes each, but we will see.

Excellent teaser trailer. Dark and gritty, as it should be.
