Exciting! I wonder if Anno will be taking a more active role in this new project, whatever it ends up being?

I know some folks have been a bit disappointed with some of the remake stuff, but I e enjoyed it all quite a bit, myself. For my money, it's some of the best modern SF anime out there. Though if I had one complaint... I'm not really fond of this whole not-quite-a-movie, not-quite-a-series release structure. Here's hoping the new thing picks a lane to stay in.

Admittedly a little surprised he’s returning to animation, less surprised his next project wasn’t the oft-asked for Shin Goranger.

I really liked 2199, the sequels a bit less so, so I’m waiting to see what Anno does for the big screen.

This is pretty big news, I think Anno made the storyboards for Space Battleship Yamato 2199, which make sense considering he mentioned in some interviews that Yamato is his favorite anime of all time. I have to say that Anno is probably living the dream of every otaku from the '60s and '70s generation, he has directed new versions of Godzilla, Ultraman, Kamen Rider and now Yamato, perhaps in the future Anno could direct a Mobile Suit Gundam anime, who knows.

I think Anno's admitted he wasn't as into Sentai as he was Rider and Ultraman.

I'm a big fan of the remake and just wish the subsequent content had a more reliable release schedule in the West, though I'm curious what Anno's take will be. Shin Yamato that's remaking the original series again?

I predicted on this forum that Hideaki Anno would make a Yamato film in the near future after doing an OP and being heavily unflushed by the original. The original timeline is also still somewhat in the air as 2009´s Resurrection went nowhere but the remake is playing with time so it can close that loop one day.

What else from his 70s childhood will he do next then? I don´t like Devilman but he is the man to make sense of that IP and will they let him do a Gundam film or mini? That man is living his best life as studios will fall over themselves to allow him to remake his childhood.
