Fukkatsu-hen has been in pre-production for a number of years now, but only recently has the creator given a status update, so yes, it's true.

All that's missing is Mahiro Maeda involvement. I'm surprise that Range Murata is going to do the character design but in some way I'm exciting to see his designs again.

[DangerMouse]

YES! I'm extremely excited to see this since I love his character design work and Gonzo's last really ambitious project with him Last Exile is probably my all-time favorite show. I was sooo looking forwards to his work on Mardock Scramble, so I'm really thankful that he'll be doing the character design on a big new series.

[ZODDGUTS]

One small problem though... the director of Last Exile isn't directing this but they it still can be good...

[NeoSam]

絶対やれるギリシャ神話
Zettai Yareru Greece shinwa

NTV's site for the anime:

Very true, it looks like this is his first big TV series after doing some well-known films and episode directing and storyboarding on some big shows among other projects so hopefully he'll be pretty ambitious/motivated with this if the scifi novel supports such a thing and it's not a low-key type storyline since I don't know anything more than what ANN wrote, I'd love to see that. For now I'll be excited by the good production design crew listed and one of my favorite character designers.

Thanks for the final version of the Fall series chart with everything on it. Printing this baby out should be a great quick reminder of the shows, after a hard day's work.

Hmm, never thought of the possibility people might print it out. I might keep that in mind for the next one.
