It was many moons ago that live action movie adaption of ultimate Gyabo manga/anime series Nodame Cantabile was announced, and finally we get a trailer of its awesomeness. The first of the two movies is planned to be released in movie theaters on December 19th.

A five minute preview of the beginning of Blood: The Last Vampire can be seen here.

 So what happens when you mix one of the most popular mainstream anime ever with Hollywood?
Apparently a Dragonball Movie… It comes out in 2009 for those lucky enough not to have heard about it yet, and a decent trailer was just released. All I can say is – Goku is American o.o
