According to Nikkan Sports, Matsumoto Leiji's unpublished work "Ozuma" was announced to get a TV anime adaptation. Matsumoto wrote the draft script of Ozma in the 1980s but it hadn't been animated. Satellite TV channel WOWOW proposed him to animate Ozuma as the 20th anniversary project of the channel. The six-episode series will be aired from March 16th.

Great production behind it. I'm sure it will be quite a show despite being a bit short.

When I first heard "Ozma" I was thinking of that really hard boss in Final Fantasy IX. Now it's kind of funny that a staff member of that game is part of this.

Originally from the 1980s, huh? I'm all for it. I'd gladly welcome a script from the golden days of sci-fi anime.

"Written in the 1980s"

No wonder the story sounds really appealing. Back then, "Moe", "Ecchi", "Harem", etc. did not dominate anime like they do nowadays.

Will definitely watch.

Well, let's hope Leiji Matsumoto's doing much better in Japan than he was here in MAL Land. Because last time I posted a video of his anime Galaxy express 999, someone commented it was too old (I know the ignorant little turd wasn't he? Don't worry he got his troll desserts) obviously, a more educated MAL user (other than me) called him a retard . And if there's anything to be said about old men and old works, is that they have old techniques which I hope won't be under appreciated in these modern moe, bishounen infested times. Maybe japan will be a little more open minded.
