Fairy Tail: Hōō no Miko

[immblueversion]

It has been announced (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-07-28/funi-adds-seikishi-yamato/r-one-piece/strong-world-fairy-tail-film-akira) the other day that Funimation has acquired the rights to the upcoming Fairy Tail movie, "Hōō no Miko," which roughly translates to "The Phoenix Priestess." While the officially translated title, dub cast, and English release date have not been confirmed, there is information on its release in Japan (August 28, 2012) and a number of its Japanese cast members provided on the official website (http://fairytail-movie.com/top/). The confirmed VAs are listed on the site here (http://fairytail-movie.com/voice/):

Tetsuya Kakihara as Natsu Dragneel
Aya Hirano as Lucy Heartfilia
Rie Kugimiya as Happy
Yuichi Nakamura as Gray Fullbuster
Sayaka Ohara as Erza Scarlet
Satomi Sato as Wendy Marvell
Yui Horie as Carla
Wataru Hatano as Gajeel Redfox
Aya Endo as Éclair
Mika Kanai as Momon

I'll update with pictures from the film's trailers once I'm able to. As for the title, should we use the Japanese title or the unofficial translation "The Phoenix Priestess"? Also, would it be possible to change the title at a later date should the final title be changed?

Thanks but that's not necessary. I was actually planning to add this before Funimation announced they had licensed it (hurray for preparing in advance :))

I'll add it either later tonight or tomorrow ;)

As for the English title. Until Funimation has an "official" name I'll just name it

Fairy Tail the Movie

[immblueversion]

I've noticed someone went and added the movie anyway. As long as it's up, we'd might as well add Momon, the yellow living chick doll character, who is voiced by Mika Kanai (http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/Mika-Kanai/) (refer to the first post for the source).

Here's an image (forgive the red border):
