I agree he is a good director, but all of his works start to feel the same after a while. It was unique the first few times, now it is just what to expect if Shinbo is directing.

Well I guess this makes sense since it's the same guy who made SZS. As much as I loved that series, it got a little too social commentary-ish and Japanocentric in the later series, but this one sounds like it'll have a broader appeal.
Ha-cha!

hey! i was about to say that! XD

seriously though, as alright of a director he is, his style gets very redundant after a while. i've seen several of his works so i already know what to expect.

i really would like to see another shaft anime that's not directed by shinbo. he needs to take a break.

It seems that the manga ended abruptly according to wikipedia.

Can't wait to see what the anime is going to be like...

It was cancelled unfortunately, which was the reason of the abrupt end.

It also had quite a strange and abrupt ending as well. Spoilers ahoy so click at your own risk.

The premise sounds like it's got potential, but I don't like SHAFT, SZS or Shinbou, so I don't want to get my hopes up.

anything by shaft is really good lol they have proven themself to be one of the greatest anime studio's of all time. Last year they did really well, with arakawa, hidamari sketch season 3, the last "ova" eps of bakemonogatari and soredemo. I'm looking forward to this!

I'm hoping for it to come out this year, my guess is fall 2011. Since maria holic 2 and denpa onna are gonna dominate in the spring and hopefully kizmonogatari in the summer.

Well for all anime, we expect animation so.... it is the same with any style you get used to...

I never expected this to ever happen so I'm unsure what to think. Kaizo is like a primitive prototype to SZS in my eyes so I never paid too much attention to it. I just hope the Anime will concentrate on the chapters that do not have penises everywhere. Then I might really like this. >.>
