The anime film will premiere at Anime Expo on July 3.

Studio Trigger also posted an update on Thursday to reveal that for backers who cannot attend Anime Expo, Studio Trigger will “provide the digital contents as the premiere starts so all of [its] backers will be able to enjoy the episode at the same time.”

Additionally, the company noted that it is expecting to have physical copies of the rewards shipped out in August. Trigger also previewed images of backer rewards such as the T-shirt, desk mat, metal bookmark rewards for US$200 backers, and the canvas print for US$1,000 backers.

Quote:

About the secret of Ko-oh-yoku (Wings of hawk of light?).

Answer:

It is a manifestation of God’s aura.

More details …

Ko-oh-yoku is a manifestation of God’s aura and not a weapon. Although apart from Tsunami, one Tree can produce only three Ko-oh-yoku, they are enough to protect the entire ship. Ko-oh-yoku does not shut the incoming energy out but converts it to harmless one (one power exists that could pierce them but it requires huge amount of energy and a very big system).

Incidentally, to increase the number of Ko-oh-yoku by one, twice as much energy is needed. (ie, Tsunami uses 2^10/2^3 = 2^7 = 128 times as much as energy.)
