"Private Eye"? Ran in danger? Takes place on a ship? Sounds like every bad idea from previous movies put together.

Thanks for the info, Chek! I almost forgot what time of year it was. I've updated the post (and first post) with a better, HD version of the trailer (w/ French subtitles). Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7xCKUdOl1I

I'm glad to have help! And thanks, I spent quite a while getting it to look right.

It is possible to read it all. Maybe she's an exception, but I know someone who read all the current chapters in a month. And she still managed to keep her grades up. But of course, reading a little at a time will get the job done eventually. Put in the time and it's worth it. Give it a go!

MAJOR UPDATE The announcement trailer for M-17 has finally been posted on YouTube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7xCKUdOl1I It seems that the sources have been accurate. The short clip shows a dark, foggy sea and just as the camera zooms in through the "Production of Movie 17 Confirmed!" text, a ship materializes out of nowhere (that's where the "rises out of a dark sea" must have come from). Also, the "illumination" mentioned is what appears to be a full moon over-glared. There also appears to be an island in the distance, which none of the sources mentioned. It doesn't appear to be a submarine (as some people suggested...) and it also doesn't look at all like the St. Aphrodite from M-9. After a close comparison, they're different shapes. The way the ship appears out of nowhere is interesting and the music gives it a very "ghost ship" feel. If the producers decide to take that route, I'm going to be really excited. Now, we wait for the promotional poster... [Video link has been added to first post for easy access]

Apparently in about 2 weeks, give or take. The wait's almost done!

Welcome welcome! You're almost to a few really exciting arcs, so keep reading! I hope you enjoy your stay!

Episodes 667 and 668 are from chapters 793-795.

Hm... I'm assuming you mean the sad theme right before the ending was played. It's called "Ran no Ketsui ~ Hōsu ni Hi ga"(蘭の決意～ホースに火が) which translates to "Ran's Decision ~ Hose and Fire". It's the 34th track in the Countdown to Heaven soundtrack, and that's the movie the song made it's first appearance. The title is enough to explain which scene it was from in the movie.

I have to read that for school and I'm just past Part 2. It's a good read so far!

I haven't read the light novels, but apparently the novels are really in depth and detailed and the producers have to cut out a few scenes to fit everything in the planned 25 episodes.
