Synopsis
The anime takes place in an isolated prison and focuses on five inmates, an ex-soldier, a beautiful young woman, an average guy and a computer hacker, and an old man (as wellas cat) who find themselves freed after a sudden blackout. The inmates decide to escape but discover the prison guards have disappeared and there are no exits. The old man may know what’s going on but he isn’t telling.

Already released in Japan the film looks awesome has some big names behind it including director by Hiroaki Ando (CGI director for Steamboy) and script writer Dai Sato (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex). Japanese electro-pop sensation Meg provides her voice for one of the characters whilst Nakata Yusataka (one half of electro-pop duo Capsule) provides music.

Okay this does sound interesting and pretty much anything Dai Sato has a hand in, is usually fantastic, so I'll be checking this out soon!

This looks original and interesting and I am going to purchase this even if it is an import.
 
Hadn't really heard much buzz for this film... the setup sounds both very intriguing and somehow slightly generic at the same time. Definitely interested, though.
