 An original anime titled Chikyuugai Shounen Shoujo (Extraterrestrial Boys and Girls) was announced at this year's Anime Central convention on Saturday. Mitsuo Iso will pen and direct the sci-fi series at Signal.MD with character designs by Kenichi Yoshida (Eureka Seven). This project marks Iso's directorial work in a new anime since Dennou Coil 11 years ago.Synopsis In the year 2045, Internet and artificial intelligence have become widespread in the outer space. Following a massive accident at a space station, a group of children are left behind. Using narrowband and SNS, low intelligence AI, and smartphone-controlled drones, they overcome numerous crises. Iso created and directed Dennou Coil at Madhouse in 2007, which won an Excellence Prize at the 11th Japan Media Arts Festival and the 7th Tokyo Anime Awards in the TV animation category, the 39th Seiun Award in the media division, and the 29th Japan SF Awards. Iso himself won the Individual Award for the work at the 13th Animation Kobe Awards in 2008. Source: Comic Natalie Chikyuugai Shounen Shoujo on MAL |

 |
| HELL YEAH. We've been waiting for so long... And it looks great! |
 |
| So, it will be space Sci-Fi about a group of friends? Well, this is clearly more interesting than the another show about schoolgirls or otaku-bait. |
 |
| yeehh boi nothing like watching some lolis choking out to death in outer space |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| I liked Dennou Coil's directing. The character design (the one we see anyway) seem promising too. |
| I'm so excited! I loved Dennou Coil and this new project seems up his alley. I don't know about the studio, and the character designs, but I'm putting my faith in Mitsuo Iso. |
 |
| Oh yes, i want more anime where setting is on space. |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| MRW it could be the first actual sci-fi (not science fantasy for once) since GitS and read on to find out it's madhouse. Thanks but no thanks if it's one of their cookie cutter episodic shows. Overarching plot or skip |

|
| i enjoyed Dennou Coil a lot so im gonna watch this one too |
| I'm so excited! Dennou Coil was great. I don't know about the studio or character designer, but I trust Mistuo Iso. Can't wait for a PV to drop. |
| |
| I'll be looking forward to this. I haven't been interested in a sci-fi since I saw Kaiba. |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."  |
| Nice, hopefully this will deliver. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
tragedydesu said: Interesting , hope it don't turn to another darling Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Please no teen drama bullshit this time, Nippon. |
 |
| From the director of Dennou Coil you say? I'm interested! |
| This sounds really interesting, very similar to one of my favorite 90 anime infinite ryvius but they will probably go for very different things so no real point in comparing them much. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Haven't completed it yet,but Dennou Coil is great so far,looking forward to this new project. One a different note,I'm a bit irritated that some people always have to throw in some random stuff à la,please not like Darling in the FranXX, just to show how much they disapprove of something. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Latched on to this immediately because of the character designer. Based on the cover art, it reminds me of Planetes. |
 |
| Maybe the most exciting anime project since Mushishi got a sequel. So glad Mitsuo Iso is back |
| Interesting to hear that Mitsuo Iso is back with an anime project. Hopefully we get more info later this year. I smell potential. |
