That's interesting. I suppose this means they are angling it more for a mainstream audience? Or perhaps this is just standard for anime movies since movies generally get more reach than mere TV shows so they might as well use something people recognize.

Interesting... The production looks like usual Madhouse movie quality, but I'm strongly suspecting the animation models might be by the guy who did the Monster ones (the director's the same, IIRC?) It's very interesting how the characters are not coloured with many shadows - very similar to Hosoda films in that aspect I guess.

Anyway, from what I read it sounds like something I'd like to watch. I'm interested in a story about regaining your passion for something...

Okay, wait, I just watched the trailer, and the guy who did the Monster animation models (Shigeru Fujita) is doing it for this too - I kind of admit I almost mistook someone for Tenma in one shot >_>

Thanks for the update!
