以《妖兽都市》、《兽兵卫忍风帖》 和《吸血鬼猎人D》闻名于世的日本动画导演川尻善昭的新作《Highlander The Search for Vengeance》在制作了近2年之后终于要和观众见面了，但与之前宣告的作为剧场放映的电影不同，这部80多分钟长的动画片将于6月5日直接在美国发行DVD，分为普通版和特别版。3月14日该动画的官方网站放出了1分半的新预告片，从华丽的画面看仍然保持了川尻一贯的凌厉风格。 该系列影片的第5部《Highlander The Source》也将于今年9月由狮门影业在北美发行。而率先于6月问世的这部动画版则是《Highlander》系列的制作人联手日本动画大师的一次崭新尝试。这部动画由与川尻善昭保持长期合作关系的日本MADHOUSE动画公司和专门发行日本动画的美国MANGA公司联合出品，香港意马动画公司（该公司也参与制作了即将上映的3D动画《少年忍者龟》）参与制作。采用和《吸血鬼猎人D》一样先在美国发行英语配音版、稍后在日本再推出日语配音版的做法，但不知道在日本是否会做剧场放映。

In the eighth and final season, our beloved Bridgeton teens tackle new challenges as high schoolers such as driving, drugs, sexual inexperience, enthusiastic consent, porn and the teenage mind, cancel culture, their changing bodies, and (in the end) fear of the looming future. Through it all, friendship is the cornerstone for surviving this time of life – whether one’s puberty is just beginning, like for Nick who gets his first growth spurt, or near its conclusion, like for a maturing (and prematurely balding) Andrew. At the height of the season, when many of our characters are in crisis, Compassion (personified as a new creature voiced by Holly Hunter), emerges as a crucial way forward. Ultimately, though, this season is about the importance of sticking by and supporting your friends, especially when life gets overwhelming and messy. In the end, our kids step into the harrowing unknown of the future, made less afraid of what’s to come because they have each other.
