Anime Expo 2009
Production I.G
by Evan Miller, Jul 5th 2009
Panelist: Maki Terashima-Furuta

The Production I.G panel opened with an introduction of the studio's newest titles, followed by trailers of each title. The first title mentioned was Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike, based on the popular Tales of... RPG game series. The feature length anime features an opening song by Bonnie Pink and will be released on October 3, 2009 in Japan.

During the question and answer session, one fan asked about the possibility of a third season of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Terashima-Furuta answered that she expects the project to happen, but that the director is currently tied up in other projects. She also confirmed that the live-action rights for Jin-Roh were sold but a film has not been made, and that the Mamoru Oshii experimental anime Tachigui Retsuden has still not been licensed.

That's very good news, wonder how long it'll be before the director is 'untied' from his current projects though :\

I concur, this is good news. I would rather they take their time and make a worthy sequel rather than quickly put something together to make a few $$

That whole topic in general though made me crazy happy! Mamoru Oshii's new anime (licenseless, yet happening), Jin-Roh live action, Eden of the East, GitS SAC 3, and even the wonky Dream of the Last Samurai.


Happy Panda, I am, Happy Panda.
