Some of the manga was translated and published by Viz under the title Striker. Last summer, a feature-length movie, based on the second story-arc included in the Viz graphic novel Striker: The Armored Warrior, was released to Japanese theaters. The movie was well received, partially because Katsuhiro Otomo, the creator of Akira, worked on the production as a technical advisor. AD Vision currently owns the US distribution rights to the movie and intends to release the film theatrically in the US before issuing it on home video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: Hi there.
