Trailers for movies, television and games

This is a community for posting and sharing trailers and teasers for upcoming film, television and video game premieres. The goal is to provide subscribers a curated feed of trailers for UPCOMING media. General-purpose posts about movies, television and games are better suited for other communities around the Lemmyverse. This place is just for trailers.

Rules

  1. All posts must be trailers or teasers; not full movies, not trailers for trailers, and not clips of popular scenes. Meta posts from mod staff are OK, but should be kept to a minimum.
  2. No fan-made trailers or remixes.
  3. Trailers for upcoming content only. Do not spam the community with trailers for media that has already been released.
  4. Link to official channels for trailers whenever possible (ie: the YouTube accounts of each film's studio or distribution company); avoid linking to videos from media outlets that function as aggregators / re-posters if you can.
  5. Post titles should follow formatting guidelines: "Media Name (release year, relevant creator credit)". Creator credits should be directors for films and games, showrunners for television series. Other details such as starring actors, writers, production studios, etc can be added to the post description.
  6. Don't be a jerk.

I'm so excited for this reboot! I watched the classic anime over 20 years ago, right as I was moving to Japan, and it was my introduction to anime.

My only hope is that the series has an actual ending this time. Rumiko Takahashi (the original manga creator) has a nasty habit of refusing to resolve relationship drama in her works. She feels like the story will end if people actually admit their feelings for each other; she claims that the "will they/won't they" drama is what keeps people reading/watching her works. So she drags out the drama as long as she can, then just ends her series without actually resolving anything.

I think she had a hand in this reboot, so there's a very good chance the love triangles (love octagons?) will never be resolved. Still, seeing a classic work (with the original Japanese voice actors!) be reborn in modern animation style is exciting and I'll definitely be binging this show when it airs tomorrow.
