They're actually opening this thing? I thought it was just going to be a series of trailers and making-ofs.

To be fair, with block-booking here, the opening date might've been set in stone before Kong's foot came down. It looks very Toei, very in line with the atmosphere in Japan right now -- it might've been a bit much to call it 大和魂/Yamato damashii though.
Just noticed the lovely and talented Terajima Shinobu is in it...

Thought this was live-action Space Battleship Yamato for a moment.

Word is it kicked Kong's ass at the box office. My friend in Hiroshima said the trailer alone moved her to tears. Should be a good film.
