Mouretsu Pirates Movie Confirmed
At the end of the final episode for Mouretsu Pirates was a confirmation that the series will be getting a film project. Details about the movie has not be released yet.
I have unsure feels about this. I kind of would like it to be a continuation of the series, I could handle sitting through a movie instead of 26 episodes. But I’m sure it’ll be a recap or something!
What do you guys think?
