Seems very interesting and i like the trailer. This is hard core shit. Awesome. Definitely be anticipating for this. Hope the story is well made and not look like a complete mess. It's a trap directors fall for, trying to be mysterious and different.

Poor Gonzo.

This looks wonderful. It looks not that bad.

Sounds relevant to my interests. Murata Renji's design there looks awesome (as always), but I do hope they stick with the original style (any idea who's doing the adaptation?)

Oh, I remember this cancellation story etc. I wonder what studio will make it now. For some reason, I'd bet on Satelight.

Concept is interesting, if this ever gets made I guess I might give it a try
