 "No release date has been announced, but work begins with some pretty nimble hands on the deck. Shinji Aramaki and Kenji Kamiyama will direct all episodes, having done that kind of work with seminal mid-'00s series Appleseed and Ghost In The Shell: Stand-Alone Complex, respectively. Additionally, Shinichiro Watanabe will oversee the project as creative producer."

This almost makes up for the news of the live action Cowboy Bebop remake from yesterday.

This was pretty entertaining, though I didn’t care much for the style of animation and felt it was a bit short

oh hey, the same guy behind cowboy bebop directed it. the last time i heard about him doing a one-off animation it was for that animatrix movie.

speaking of which, remember in the early 2000s when there was the rumor of a live action cowboy bebop movie with keanu reeves as spike? lol.

I don't, but I'm glad that never happened. Keanu's a nice guy but he'd be horrible.
