It would be a much better Astro Boy anime that the one airing this season, that's for sure.

What is this and how will it save anime?

it'll have a cute first cour full of extended gags and a second cour that leaps strongly from that establishment and everyone will hate it after the fifth episode because humanity deserves nothing.

It's a critically-acclaimed take by Naoki Urasawa (the guy who did Monster) on a famous story arc from Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy. By all accounts, super cool.

It's also notable because there hasn't been an adaptation of an Urasawa manga in like a decade,

pluto details: 8 long eps, 1 for each volume, urasawa is supervising, maruyama (who was also involved with monster and keaton) is producing, mappa is the studio, 2020 release date, so pretty far off


oh and the new patlabor is a tie in with the american movie

OVA/ONA, I would assume. Airing it on TV would be a bit difficult considering timeslot requirements - they did say the episodes would be extra-long.

Didn't they bend over backwards for UBW's first two episodes and Re-Zero for several episodes being extra-long? You'd think that a production whose original creators involve Osamu "Manga's Big Daddy" Tezuka and Naoki Urasawa, they'd get a bit more leeway into getting a good spot.

the final episode of the anime adaptation of blood blockade battlefront was double length and it took so long for them to get a timeslot for the episode after the long production that it didn't broadcast until the next year

Pretty sure there's a difference between "please give us a few more minutes these couple of times" and "the show is going to need to be longer every single week."

also both the shows wark listed were late-night, so the extra slot time was paid for by the production company just like the others. assuming 8 double-length episodes, that's already more than a single cour.

What did they do with Katanagatari (when it originally aired, because if I don't misremember, the re-airing chowed down on the noitaminA block)?

You mean the show whose gimmick was airing once a month? I think that counts as a bit of a special circumstance.

Originally it only aired one episode a month, AFAIK, so it probably had a special 1h block.

Man, it's been 6 years and a half since the last episode came out. :corsair:

I legit forgot its gimmick. Even the novels were published once a month during '07. I still like Yoshimasa Hosoya's portrayal of Shichika a bunch. He has a really natural type of voice which sometimes is super hard to find.

I'm guessing that's what they were aiming at with the non-VA actors they picked to voice Satoru from Erased, despite the fact that Hosoya woulda probably crushed it just like he did in Katanagatari.
