manglobe studios (Ergo Proxy, Samurai Champloo) is finally coming out with a new anime, Michiko to Hatchin.

Sayo Yamamoto (worked as episode director and storyboarder for Samurai Champloo, Ergo Proxy, and Eureka Seven) in her first directorial work.
Takashi Ujita (scriptwriter for live-action Freesia) penning the script.
Hiroshi Shimizu (animation director for Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG, Kemonozume, and Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi) designing the characters.
Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo) producing the music.

The title's Michiko is a free-willed "sexy diva" who destroys a supposedly inescapable prison fortress, while Hatchin is a girl fleeing her strict foster parents. The two join forces on an improbable escape to freedom.

Looks like a recipe for success.

eh, sounds very unoriginal to me
"Forged in darkness with wheat harvested from Hell's half acre. Baked by Beelzabub; slathered with mayonnaise beaten from the evil eggs of dark chickens, force-fed to dogs by the hands of a one-eyed madman. Cheese boiled from the rancid utters of fanged cows. Layered with 666 separate meats from an animal which has maggots for blood."

I felt the same way before Ergo Proxy came out, only to be thuroughly dissapointed. Still, I think this has potential. SIt'll be interesting to see how Saya Yamamoto handles directing a series for the first time.

I like Ergo Proxy except it tended to move slow and messed with my brain.
I'm getting an epic vibe from Michiko to Hatchin. It looks like crazy fun by just looking at the pic at ANN.

Sounds like pure crazy action.
Will make sure to check this one out.
They are neither plants nor animals.
They differ from other forms of life such as the micro-organisms and the fungi. Instead they resemble the primeval body of life and are generally known as Mushi. Their existence and appearance are unknown to many and only a limited number of humans are aware of them.

Sounds like a classical theme that needs to be executed in a fresh and crazy manner.
This might be good if they do it right.

And with an animation director from Kemonozume and Abenobashi handling the character designs this must at least look cool.

Why isn't that in the database already?
