The VIZ Cinema in San Francisco kicks off the month of August with a theme entitled “The Winding Road to Peace”.

The trailer has been released for 'Yoshie Zero', a new short film from director Noboru Iguchi that acts as a prequel to his action extravaganza 'Mutant Girls Squad'. The story will apparently focus around Suzuka Morita's character, although Tak Sakaguchi ('Versus') is also set to feature heavily.
