Revive the 'Despera' (Yoshitosho ABe) entry or create a new one

Despera is a planned psychological sci-fi thriller anime created by director Ryuutarou Nakamura, writer Chiaki Konaka and most importantly artist Yoshitoshi Abe.

It already received a novel serialization.

Because of Nakamura's illness in 2011, this project had been put on hold. The future of this anime became even more uncertain after his death in 2013.

On 4th October 2014 at Overload in Auckland (New Zealand), Abe announced that a new director was found to continue working on Despera. Here is a video of his Live Drawing Demonstration Panel. Jump to 7:32 for the announcement and to 8:22 (until 9:02) for the English interpretation.

I was not sure whether to create a new entry or whether the staff already deleted one because of no updates (like Girls' Work). So you could just revive that one and add the two previous paragraphs under "More Info".

Also, why didn't this get a separate news article when it was announced? Yoshitoshi Abe is well known and the announcement of his newest animated work to continue production is big news for a lot of people. For Christ's sake, no one bothers to mention this news and it's already over three months old.

Edit: Forgot to mention the year.

Sweet lord it's happening.

Don't get your hopes up too high, mugi. It means nothing until we are actually watching it ourselves.

Having said that, Despera should always be in the database. Even if it never gets completed, it should be there because its Despera and by default its better than 99.999% of all the other anime out there. Show some respect!

I removed the entry almost 2 years ago because of lack of information for 4 years... We won't re-add the entry until some more concrete information is given, like a start year or an up-to-date official site.

Fair enough.
I hope there will be an official announcement soon (and not only this "by the way"-remark). At least this project doesn't seem to be dead.
