GAINAX has announced a new anime movie titled "Aoki Uru" at Tokyo International Anime Fair 2013. The title was originally announced as a sequel to Ouritsu Uchuugun: Honneamise no Tsubasa in 1992. However, the project had been frustratingly stalled due to a shortage of funds.

Director & Script: Yamaga Hiroyuki
Character Design: Sadamoto Yoshiyuki

Jesus Christ it was in production for 20 years due to lack of funds? That must've been frustrating. Meh, it's about space and stories about space is always cool, I'll check it out.

I hope Sadamoto uses his Rebuild character design instead of whatever he used for the prequel.

Now with more surreal fanservice, lots and lots of plot holes and a nonsensical ending.

Last time we heard rumor about this was back in early 2011 and nothing came out of it. Let's see how it goes this time....
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Hard Science fiction is always boring. It's just gotta be something you're into.

Honneamise definitely wasn't boring at all. It's an excellent experience.

This just made my night/day

Ah, about time GAINAX!!! Definitely looking forward to it. Hopefully GAINAX puts EVA rebuild movies-tier production values into this.

Amazing news. I hope this new movie will retain the atmosphere of Honneamise. And more steampunk is always welcomed by me ;-)

It was a good movie with what I remember as an unnecessary and weird rape scene. Hopefully less of that this time round.

Dear God, they're actually making Aoki Uru?

This is the Honneamise sequel project they wanted to make after Nadia: the Secret of Blue Water in 1991.

Problem was they couldn't secure funding, and basically spent the next 3 years in limbo...

Until Hideaki Anno came up with the idea for Evangelion.

Needless to say, the funk the writers were in for three years beforehand (Anno had severe depression) at not being able to get Aoki Uru off the ground really influenced the tone of Evangelion.

Amazing.

Whaaaaaaaaa?

You only need to look at my avatar to know how much of a fan I am of the original. I'd love to see what this is going to be like.

Does it feel lonely?
