Cyborg 009 remake by Kenji Kamiyama

So there's been debate and aniticipation about Kenji Kamaiyama's (Ghost in the Shell TV series, Eden of the East, Seirei no Moribito) latest work was going to be, since he had said he would reveal it online. A friend of mine and I just watched the stream on NicoNico just now.

Apparently it's...a Cyborg 009 remake?!

I assume this is legit - I don't think this is troll. I'm finding it hard to believe but...yeah...looks like that's what he's doing. Spoke to other people who watched it, including people who could read kanji/katakana - it seems to be the case.

My first impressions of the vid:

- 001 baby made me WTF
- 008 looking more black racist than ever made me O_O
- 009 with ginger hair seemed wrong but not as wrong as when he was a blonde
- 003 as a blonde - Well, she was in the recent version so I...guess so?
- The CG looks sub-par

Well...I hope Kamiyama gets this right overall, because every remake has been pretty lacklustre compared to the 60s original. I love the original and how it inspired Toei to make Kamen Rider then led to the West doing Power Rangers.

And before anyone says I'm trolling, ANN has confirmed it. This is a movie remake.

Well, this is the last thing I expected...
