Yeah you are right, I also heard that they are not going to release the new movie but it's maybe just rumors and I hope so.... As you just said the uncomplete anime isn't cool... I mean look at Thunder Jet ending, you don't know what happened or who won! That was weird... Anyway you are welcome anytime :#
