| awesome, Lain is my No.1 anime forever |
 |
| Since this thread was bumped, any news of when this might come out? |
| I also hope this won't be some kind of SEL#2 rework thingy or something like that, but really something on it's own. With own sphere, characters and stroy development etc. I hope ABe will surprise me yet again, like he did with Haibane Renmei. Texhnolyze (or something like that) was a great disappointment to me personally. But I have my hopes up for this one. ^^ |
| Present day....Present Time....hahaha www.Tribute2Trance.nl |
| Oh, I hope it will be as great as Lain. Definitely in! |
| Definetly giving it a try, enjoyed Experiments Lain. |
| Despera canceled "Hello Joshua, Thank you for contacting me. Yes, the anime of "Despera" have been stopped so far. But I think you will be glad that I can tell you something. As the graphic novel "Despera" is preparing to publish. And we plan to publish paperless version too. It will be included English version. The next year, you maybe read that." |
...and it was Tim Leary. And god help us, we smoked him... (c) |

Unless it was a joke... |
Mikiya said: Source? Unless it was a joke... Yarly Like Wikipedia; no original research please. Give us a third-party source. |

| Thanks for the heads up! |
| Hmmm...I've heard of Serial Experiment Lain, but Im too scared to watch it. Despera looks good, but Im not expecting anything like Lain, hopefully not. |

Nothing to be scared of. It was recently rereleased in Japan in a restored BluRay edition that looks great, and Funimation has picked up the license for it from Geneon so that same gorgeous BluRay remaster should be coming out here in the States next year. |

Nothing to be scared of. Lain isn't a "horror series," but to be certain it's more horrifying and deeply disturbing than any anime which would designate itself as "horror." The fear in Lain lies within the perception of reality which we must question within us all. At the end of the day, much more penetrative and corrosive to an open mind than any pulp thriller/slasher series. I hope with all my heart that Despera still happens. If it doesn't perhaps we'll at least get an English translation of the serialization, as Konaka has hinted... (A fan translation of these installments was in the works, but unsurprisingly, Konaka's essays proved too complex and ambitious for the average 'scanulator' to tackle.) |
| Can anyone translate this? Seems to be (some) news at least http://animage.jp/des/index.html |
waterfall said: Can anyone translate this? Seems to be (some) news at least http://animage.jp/des/index.html All it says is something about publishing the book "Desuberu." I don't see anything that is referring to the anime. |
| After Lain, Texhnolyze and Haibane Renmei, MAL better make an 11 rating. 'Cause this is just amazing. |
| Here's the book, it was just released. http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4197203284 And here's a bigger pic of the cover (from ABe's twitter): http://www.twitpic.com/4q5z6q |
| Any news on the English version of the graphic novel? |
manoel888 said: Wow! At last something new about Despera! I thought they had completely given up on it. And I don't care what Wikipedia says, if it was postponed it's probably because of the earthquakes and the tsunamis which really affected the series production in many animation Studios. It was postponed months before the earthquake happened. |
| prove or never happened :( |
| ...and it was Tim Leary. And god help us, we smoked him... (c) |
Juumonji said: I have a hard time trusting wikipedia, especially when it fails to cite important information. Something that important should have been released to the public in some form so they need a link to the news source, otherwise it's as good as a rumor.theoretic said: prove or never happened :( Japanese wiki+google translate says "is planning an animated frozen indefinitely" |
 |
Dracus said: Yep, and next to it "There is no plans to resume project. Konaka has although mentioned in this book, that despera has ended and he is doing preparations for the next project. Although, because of Abe apologizing in this book for not being able to complete anime adaptation, the possibility of it being completed is low" By the way, the source is cited as 大正電脳ダダイズム絵巻 ですぺら i.e. Despera official book PS. Translation is not mine, though NOOOO!! |
| The threat is stronger than the execution. |
| all the good animes seems to get cancelled first ai no kusabi then Satoshi Kon's Dream machine and now this.. i hate my life. |
| wow this really sucks :( Gonna go re-watch lain and cry some more.... T_T |
| What, it's cancelled? Nooooooo! I really wanted to see more yoshitoshi art! EDIT: Just sent a tweet to yoshitoshi ABe about Despera's status. |

| ...and it was Tim Leary. And god help us, we smoked him... (c) |
| You shitting me? Cancelled? I refuse to believe this. *denial* |
| Yep, it was cancelled. Now its a fact |
| ...and it was Tim Leary. And god help us, we smoked him... (c) |
| And the Light Novel? Is already published? A want buy it. |
 |
| I can't believe this :( "Despera getting cancelled was the worst anime-related news that I've heard until now." It was def. one of the worst anime-related news in the past few years. I was happy I could start with the "Fate/Zero" series, but that little joy won't make this right xD |
| Present day....Present Time....hahaha www.Tribute2Trance.nl |
| Ah, damn it. That's a shame. I was looking forward to Despera. =( |
Hmmm...I've heard of Serial Experiment Lain, but Im too scared to watch it. Despera looks good, but Im not expecting anything like Lain, hopefully not. scared Mod edit: removed lines of empty text |
