Sorry for double-posting.
Maniwagatari's Kodansha BOX page is now updated with official Katanagatari anime announcement. There is also Nishio Ishin Anime Project homepage open with a countdown set to 2009/01/01. Seems like we'll be seeing more and more of Nishio Ishin's work getting adapted into an anime. |

wow sirn you really is following very closely with katanagatari
What?! Nisioisn Anime Project?! 0_____0 Is the man planning on getting most of his work animated? Well I'd love to see them but I've always thought that his work are impossible to be adapted into anime, since his style is.. rather unique. Still praying for a Zaregoto anime though.

My guess is correct. The NisiOisiN Anime Project site and Katanagatari official site is now open, it'll be aired in 2010. Still no information about production staffs, though. From reading the interview in the project site, seems like somebody else other than Shaft will do this series.

It's still a way out, but they have added some more art to the website. Also, I heard that this isn't going to air on TV, instead it will be a 20 episode OVA that comes out in monthly installments of one episode. Interesting, I hope this means the animation quality is extra good. I've also heard this won't start until 2010. :/
