 The April issue of Gessan magazine announced on Tuesday that manga Spriggan will get an anime adaptation. It will be using the "newest technology" for its animation and will be streamed via Netflix worldwide. David Production will be producing the anime. More information will be revealed in future issues of the magazine. The anime is also part of the Netflix New Anime Lineup.Synopsis Many years ago, an ancient civilization ruled Earth. They had a very advanced technology but were destroyed in the end due to the misuse of their creations. These people left messages for later generations in the form of indestructible message plates written in an ancient language. Several armed organizations began to secretly search for these artifacts to use them for their own good and against their enemies. The ARCAM Corporation is trying to stop these forces from destroying themselves with these "advanced" machines. The main character of the story, Yu Ominae, is one of the elite agents that work for ARCAM under the name of Spriggans. Spriggan was written by Hiroshi Takashige and drawn by Ryouji Minagawa. The manga was serialized in Shounen Sunday Super magazine from February 1989 to January 1996 for total of 11 volumes. It also ran in the monthly anthology magazine Manga Vizion from June 1997 to February 1998. A movie adaptation by Studio 4°C premiered in September 1998. VIZ Media published three of the manga's volumes in English as Striker from November 5, 1995 to May 6, 1999. The release was heavily edited in an attempt to mask anti-American sentiments.

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. |
 |
| Oh, synopsis sounds interesting! Will keep an eye for now. |

| Thought it was weird when I got a notification for it thinking it was just a movie special I didn't watch but instead a new anime. Okay I guess. Hopefully it's more entertaining than the movie was, assuming I don't forget about it. It will be using "newest technology" to animate Hoping this doesn't mean full CGI. |
| Holy shit. This could blow the '98 movie out of the water and into the stratosphere. Paul said: Hoping this doesn't mean full CGI. If they do the CGI in the style like in the JoJo openings, that would be great. |
  |
| I always saw potential in this manga even tho the movie was basically a dumpster fire. |
 |
| This is interesting and yet david pro will be doing this one! So this should be good, atleast in my opinion. |
| Is this JoJo Part 9? Looks interesting! |

 |
| If the quality of the drawings will be like that of the film and those made in those years, like "Jin-Rou" and companions, then I will be even more satisfied. However, this news already took me by surprise, I didn't really believe that one day they would announce an anime. |
 |
| I believe in David Production. This will be good. |
 |
| looks interesting but i get the feeling it'll be heavily cgi |
AnimeFreak-San said: is this a male gender issure...human issue...mental illness perhaps? |
| Interested, never heard of this series but it sounds interesting. |

| Synopsis sounds great. I don't really mind CGI as long as it's on the Sidonia-level of quality and well executed story. |
 |
| Sounds interesting. That 'shounen' tag makes me a bit wary tho. |
| Now this is a surprise, gonna watch it for sure. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| "Using the newest tech for animation" is making it sound like it's gonna be another CGI show... sigh |
| That newest tech for animation smells like CG, hope it is traditional animation instead. |
