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. |

I loved 2199 and have enjoyed the follow-on series so color me excited to see what Anno and Khara can bring to the franchise.

I'm pensive about this whole thing. We know his track record in films, and he did produce a short video of new Yamato. But I think everyone who's seen Kare Kano is a little gunshy about him returning to a standard TV animation.

Not at all a surprise. Anno is WAY more than just a Yamato fan.
There's a whole Yamato homage in Nadia, complete with elevator at an angle, Matsumoto-style analog control panels, identical gunnery stations, and the same sound effects library, with Yamato's signature deck cannon sound. Something virtually no other animes have ever touched because it IS Yamato's for eternity. The moment the Atlantean FTL Space Battleship Exelion opens fire, legions of fans would have known exactly what Anno was doing. I know I cheered. Zero doubt he will do it justice. |

That's just about the only Anno project I haven't seen yet. Is it truly so bad that, decades later, it still warrants such skepticism? My (possibly very-poorly-remembered) recollection is that it ran into a similar problem as Eva: went way over-budget had to use key art and storyboard stills for the final episode(s) because they couldn't afford to animation? I do keep meaning to give it a watch, someday. I remember enjoying the manga when I read it -- but it was one of the very first that I read, so I can't say I remember much about it, |

IIRC the last few episodes had longer and longer recaps to fill time. |

I just watched a YouTube video about this. Now I've seen that the Manga author debunked the whole hate speculation, but the rest of it is still on point. It's good to a point, but it really had some issues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ri-W6iXtFLw |

As he's a fan he could buy the rights from the Gerry Anderson estate and do Shin Thunderbirds (with puppets), or Shin UFO (live action). |

I don't see the Anderson estate letting him buy the rights outright. I could definitely see them giving him the rights to play with if they like his pitch. The company isn't foreign to getting Japanese help, the CG Thunderbirds got Shoji Kawamori to design a new vehicle for International Rescue, Thunderbird Shadow. |
