According to Anime!Anime!, GONZO will produce a TV anime series with Malaysian producer Funcel and Malaysian Film Development Board. It's a 24 min x 26 episode adventure anime titled "Satria - The Warriors of the 7 Elements" (target audience: 9 - 14 years old children) and will be aired in Malaysia in 2012. Kitakubo Hiroyuki will direct the series.

Kitakubo tweeted that he is an advisor of the anime not the director. Judging from his reaction, there is a breakdown of communication between GONZO and Kitakubo.

Oh, I have to work on an unenjoyable job! Malaysian government wants to produce animation, and they asked a Japanese company to produce one because they don't have the know-how. The Japanese company has outsourced 22 episodes out of 26 to Chinese studios and the budget for one episode is two million yen![/quote]
note: the standard budget for one Japanese anime episode is 9 - 20 million yen.

I hope that was sarcasm too, lmao. Unless you've completely missed the point in the word 'anime'

I think it sounds interesting. Just because I won't be watching it doesn't mean I don't think it's a cool idea. Will probably be better than the shit I had to watch as a 9-14 year-old.

GONZO... to have steeped so low as to produce an anime for.... On the other hand, this'll probably be one of the better 'local' cartoons to hit Malaysia but I'm still doubtful of how this'll work out....

We all know how *interesting* Japanese anime can be and the Malaysians want to ask them to produce a series for them. Strange move, if you ask me

At least we know that the ecchi is going to be curbed

You can forget about another Saki till 2012 or so. Currently there's enough material for maybe 4-6 episodes, not more. Well, of course they could also add a beach filler episode, an onsen filler episode and a bunch of tea drinking filler episodes, but then it will become K-On!. :D

Well, Malaysian government should use their own local talents instead of asking outsiders' help.

You'd be surprised at how much things are ooutsourced. So long as the one in charge of the company labels it an anime it is an anime. It stopped being slang when it became an official label.

GONZO=studio version of 4Kids

To call GONZO the studio version of 4kids is completely unfair considering they have actually done a few quality series. Granted, I haven't seen the entirety of their roster but I can, at the very least, say that Last Exile has enough quality for my opinion of the studio to remain neutral. 4kids however use the title "for kids" to hide poorly disguised xenophobia.

Aye, its as suspicious as hearing that the tea party wants to make a cartoon. I mean, I don't know anything about the Malaysian government, but I wouldn't be quick to trust something the government thought was a good idea. Sounds like potential brainwashing consider the impressionable ages they want to target.

No, anime is what the Japanese call any animation.
Japanese man: "Oh look, Spongebob is on!"
His friend: "Haha, you still watch anime? Aren't you a little too old?"
It's nowadays used to describe animation from Japan, weeaboos and such don't seem to stay true to the original Japanese definition.
And since it's Gonzo, a Japanese company, it can be considered anime by your standards.
Spongebob = Cartoons = Western Animation

lol....have you even heard?

"OMG!! what are you watching?? It's an anime called BEN10!!" </sarcasm>

Not that I don't mostly agree but this isn't the first time a word (or even specifically a japanese word used by Americans) has been used differently from what it actually means.

anyway GONZO made the Welcome to the NHK! anime so I can't hate them ever

1. Low budget
2. Cliche script
3. Chinese sub-studios
4. A director who thinks it'll be crap.
5. GONZO
