 Kenichi Sonoda's new anime project Bean Bandit has announced staff and cast members. A crowdfunding project was announced during Anime Central last May when the new GunSmith Cats short was screened, and the goal was reached within a month. The anime will be screened at Anime Central this year. The initial goal for the anime project was to produce a five-minute animation. It later announced additional milestones where the length of the animation would be increased for each subsequential milestone met, with a limit of 20 minutes per episode that also included an opening sequence. The anime will have both Japanese and English audio versions, as well as an English subtitled one. A new crowdfunding project for the opening and ending scenes, Blu-ray discs, direct download availability and more, also launched. Production for the series began last December.

| Really want this to turn out good. If it did this would be like a major achievement being crowdfunded. |
 |
| finally can't wait to watch this. |
 |
| Wait, there will be Minnie and Becky?? So, the Rally is the one from Gunsmith Cats rather than the original Bean character? @tsubasalover Thank you. @thepath There will be no series around car chases, drugs, gunfights and geometrically designed sexy girls on nowadays japanese TV... Also, the world wasn't ready back then and still isn't ready for Bean. You should rather see this as a revenge/dream comes true for Sonoda. |
