Shunji Ōga ( Romance of Three Kingdoms , several Soreike! Anpanman films, Golgo 13 chief director) is directing the new anime at Studio Cab . Original manga creator Yoshitomi is in charge of scripts and original designs, and Satoshi Hirayama ( Cat's Eye season 2, Lupin III specials, Lupin III vs. Detective Conan The Movie ) will adapt Yoshitomi's character designs for animation.

Our opinion

The announcement gives this project a clear reason to stay on the radar, but trailers and release windows are only promises. The interesting part is now whether the finished game or anime turns its distinctive idea into something that holds up beyond the headline.
