More importantly though, is there any way to try and extract any info from the Star Child involvement or just far too early? EDIT: The ANN article made me realize that if you reload the page, a different one, this time with a black color scheme, pops up, and it also has a different message. Translation from ANN: Quote:

The only staff involvement we know so far is that the producer is a Mr. T and that Ikuhara is collaborating with a Ms. I to write the series. So the question is, how many male anime producers have a name which starts with T, and how many female anime writers have a name which starts with I? :P
Edit: Oh I forgot some other details. The assistant director is a Miss Y. Ikuhara also said in the past that the main production staff is made up of 60% females. Lol. |
I wonder which studio is going to animate it. Any guess? Based on previous, Ikuni’s work I would bet either on J.C Staff or Toei, but things sure have changed after 12 years hence these speculations are a bit groundless.
Nonetheless I hope for a glorious return of Ikuhara. |

Thanks for the info duckroll.
Brain Base has done some good adaptations lately (in fact I was planning to give Dororon a try). If Ikuhara is with Brain Base I have good hopes for his series. The only thing about the studio is how many anime they’ve aimated in the last couple of years. I don’t want them to get stuck in a "Shaft syndrome" where the staff is continuously rushing to meet the deadlines and therefore the quality of animation/directing suffers from it. Then again, I assume many people inside the industry are willing to work under Ikuhara. This should downplay the risk. |

Hmm, it seems he set up a ustream account that's related to this upcoming series. I don't when it's coming on air though.

There's going to be some sort of announcement on the Ustream channel at 7pm tonight it seems. That's about 7 hours 25 minutes from now.
|
Can't wait :D
|
|
So what was it actually?
Edit: So, just some producers (or something) from Ikuhara's new project responding to questions about it in the vaguest possible manner. Thanks for the information, Good Haro :) |

Penguin Drum is a 24 episode series. It is likely to be replacing Dororon on MBS/TBS in July, since they're going to start advertising the show this week after Dororon's airing. For the remaining six episodes of Dororon, they will run a different 20 second ad after each episode. While the studio and staff are still not revealed, the lead character Himari Takakura is a girl played by a newcomer - Miho Arakawa. The story revolves around the lives of the 3 siblings in the Takakura family. No other details have been revealed at this time. |
24 episodes, huh? I'm still curious about the plot; I guess I have to wait.
