On the other hand, this looks equally cool.
GAR is comin' back, and stealing your girlfriend.
I may pick the movie up, but I probably won't get the TV series if it's licensed - unless there are some pretty impressive supporting cast members.
Yeah.... good thing I am only like 19 or I would feel old..... yeah.... Either way this is good news. Sure Golgo himself has about as much personality as a oddly painted rock but he kicks lots of ass, scores so often it is just plain stupid, and his stories tend to have some very well done action and reasonably intelligent plot. So as a fan of the series I am definitely down with it.
I want this so bad that I'm exploding in my pants.
@above commenters: Golgo doesn't need personality he'll kill you if you even bother suggesting otherwise. Just get behind him I DARE you.
Also............. This is the series, the movie was released long ago. "Golgo 13 Collection 1 will feature 13 episodes" I know it might be a bit to ask, but, especially when an article is short like this one, at least attempt reading it before you comment.
Be as it may that he does not have much of a personality. I don't care, he has his own standards, takes no prisoners, kicks ass, and take names without mercy or pity. That's just the way he is and I simply love it! I have the Golgo 13 manga published by Viz, the Japanese version, and even Into the Wolves' Lair, Galinpero, Ivory Connection, and Ice Lake Hit.
COME TO MOMMA, YOU SEXY BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sweet!!! This might be the best summer of anime releases in a long time. With Black Lagoon ova season 3 out in Japan and now this.
When I first say this news story headline on Anime News Network I though that their were talkiing about redubing and releaseing Golgo 13 : the Professional movie that had the worst CG you have ever seen in your life. I glad it's the tv show that came out a few years ago.
It would have been much better if it were THIS:
