I use www.tv.com a fair bit and it sugests there will be 3 series.

How many do you guys think there will be? How many confirmed series?

I remember discussing this before. If DVD sales go well in the US, I wouldn't be surprised to see a 3rd gig.

The more the better, as long as they keep getting better with each gig (or season).

Kenji Kamiyama last year spoked at a conference or an awards ceremony and said that his team are working on a sequel to SAC 2nd Gig, but they don't know what form it will take, like a 13 episode season, a 26 episode season, a 4 episode season.

I haven't heard anything new about the 3rd season after that piece of news.

Ahh, so there is a 3rd gig planned. We just don't know what form it will take.

That is very old news and still no progress at all. I.G. said they want a new movie las summer but Oshii declined the offer. If there would be a new series, it surely depends on how much money they make from dvds.

What about that Laughing Man DVD? You know, the one that sums the Laughing Man story in a single movie. I remember discussing it, but forget the realse date.

Any progress report?

They might not release the Laughing Man OAV for US or UK soon. I guess they think it wouldn't sell much. It didn't get the expected attention even in Japan but let's not loose hope. Maybe they can release it in summer season?
