3rd 20th Century Boys Film DVD to Add Unseen Epilogue
posted on 2009-11-19 17:11 EST

The final Japanese DVD for Yukihiko Tsutsumi's three-part live-action adaptation of Naoki Urasawa's 20th Century Boys manga will feature 11 minutes of previously unreleased scenes when it ships on February 24. These scenes will include for the first time the epilogue that reveals the fate of the surviving characters after the theatrical edition's final scenes. In the manga's award-winning suspense story, a man realizes that calamities cropping up around the world have eerie similarities to idle plans that he and his childhood friends made decades ago.

The third film, 20-Seiki Shōnen Saishū-Shō: Bokura no Hata (20th Century Boys 3: Redemption or literally, "Twentieth Century Boys the Final Chapter: Our Flag"), opened simultaneously in both Japan and San Francisco in August. The final film has earned 4.3 billion yen (about US$48 million) in Japan so far. With the additional 11 minutes, the DVD's "complete edition" of the film will clock in at 166 minutes long.

Viz Pictures, the live-action film affiliate of the North American manga publisher Viz Media, will release the first film on DVD on December 15, followed by the last two films next year. Viz Media will also publish the sixth volume of the original manga in North America next month.

Cool. I already saw it.. downloaded it. But good news, nonetheless.

I want to see the second and third movies, though..

BUMP!

Now that Pluto is finished, we can focus all our Urasawa attention on the better series!

Does he have another series coming out?!?!

Oh, I see you were trying to make a joke by referring to 20th Century Boys.

I agree.

This IS the perfect time to discuss Pluto now that it's finished it's run.

On a Urasawa related note, I'm about 36 episodes into the Monster anime. Gawd I love Monster.

Joke all you want, you sons of bitches.. I'll have the last laugh when all is said and done.

I believe I'm the only one of us who has read both Pluto and 20thCB from start to finish..

Therefore, my opinion is more valid! :smt029

I've only seen a few episodes of the anime so far. It's good. Badass theme song. I want to get the whole series and watch it from beginning to end, since I don't like watching stuff like that on shitty Sci-Fi channel.

I'm so far behind on 20th Century Boys. I've still got to read volumes 6 and 7.

When does Billy Bat come over to the US?

Realistically, probably not for years.. 20th Century Boys started in like.. 1999 in Japan, I think.

I guess it depends on how long it is, but even Pluto only came out here five years after it started in Japan.

But it's great.

What are the chances I'd enjoy reading a 22 volume scanlation of this?

I just read Volume One of this last night. It was pretty good, and I guess you can't tell it's fan translated, not that I know what the pro version reads like.

I will say though, having never read Manga before, I was confused as all fuck for the first twenty pages or so before I figured out it read right to left. :lol:
