A website revealed that a new anime project for Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu is planned for 2017. The site also revealed that the studio will be Production I.G and will adapt Yoshiki Tanaka's Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu novels.

Previously, an announcement was made at a stage play for the series that a new anime adaptation was green-lit. The official website does not confirm if this is still the same project.

Synopsis
In humanity's distant future, two interstellar states—the monarchic Galactic Empire and the democratic Free Planets Alliance—are embroiled in a never-ending war. The story focuses on the exploits of rivals Reinhard von Müsel and Yang Wen Li as they rise to power and fame in the Galactic Empire and the Free Planets Alliance. (Source: Wikipedia)

Boy am I glad a schlock studio like Madhouse doesn't animate it although I.G isn't the best either

We can only pray that they bring out their top guns. How about an Oshii adaptation? Talking heads and people doing nothing are part of his specialty, after all.

You mean Madhouse visuals does not provide satsifying results? KyoAni is what we need indeed

Will be interesting to see what amount of CG they're going to use. I assume it'll be similar to Xebec's Yamato remake in that regard. Hand drawn space battles are ridiculously hard to produce after all. Hoping for the best though.

Welp...Gonna try to watch the original series until 2017 I guess.

I fear that it's going to be full of quotation if that happens but i'd definitely be nice

isn't he busy with directing live action shows? when was the last time he directed a movie?

Good news, Production IG is a great studio and I'd rather wait a bit longer for a quality LOTGH entry than get a rushed mess.

ugh I hate space crap.

Might watch the original but it's really unappealing aside from the thing about rise to power and fame part.

That's because you lack the intelligence to enjoy Space Prussia.

But seriously: Aside from a few flaws it is one of the few shows that manage to *get* politics and features an immensily diverse cast of great and interesting characters. For that alone, it should be watched.

I doubt it will be as good as the main OVA, but that's fine. It just has to be better than 90% of the seasonal crap we get nowadays and that is easy enough.

Yeah, people who do not appreciate good art and careful planning in fiction deserve crap like this season.

I never got why people seem so annoyed by spoilers. The execution matters more than pre-knowledge imho. And the narrator's voice was gorgeous.

Think he rather meant that the company's profit has nothing to do with whether or not you'll like the show itself as a viewer :s

Yeah, thought about that too.If it will be not a remake, but a completely new story with some old characters, who will be appearing sometimes?

Watching LOGH doesn't make you an elitist.

Probably refering to the current LoGH fanboy group that usually act like elitist.

Must start the original serie and side stories then. Good it's only in two years so i will have the time ^^
And glad it's I.G who's making this new adaptation, they're behind GITS and it's one of the best mecha / SF show which exist, so i'm quite confident about this one.

Life goal: Survive until 2017.

Based Production I.G on the production. I have enough hype to last me for the next two years.

If Oshii actually jumped into this project, I'd jizz my pants.

The elitist part of this fandom will rage and it will be hilarious. xD I personally wouldn't mind seeing a chibi Yang,Julian, and Dusty. As long as it isn't terrible like Mobile Suit Gundam-san with the same repeated jokes and pervy bullshit.

I'm gonna go and say its probably most likely going to be a remake since the original anime already animated all the material in the novels. I just hope it won't be a long a wait as both Yamato 2199 and the original LoGH.

Production IG is a great studio for this. Get Mamoru Oshii on it and we're all set.

Not sure if it'll be able to surpass the original, but I'll take it.
