Original Anime Project 'Project ANIMA' Announced
Anime ideas will be accepted through applications in six ways: novel, script, manga, planning, illustration, and movie, via various platforms such as Manga Box and Estar for each anime. The first anime, which will center on sci-fi and robot as a theme, will be produced by Satelight. The applications for the first anime will be accepted between February 1 and April 15 of next year. J.C Staff will be producing the second anime, which will be fantasy-themed. The applications for the second anime will be accepted beginning next April. Doga Kobo will animate the third anime with a genre to be revealed at a later date, and will accept applications next summer.
The press release was joined by Yoshiyuki Katayose from Bunka Housou, Ryouta Yasue from DeNA, Hideyuki Nanba from Sotsu, Takeshi Hiramatsu from Doga Kobo, director Shoji Kawamori (the Macross series), Yuuji Matsukura from J.C Staff, producer Yuusuke Kamimachi from DeNA, and seiyuu Hikaru Midorikawa (ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka) for a panel talk.
A radio show will also begin on January 4, 2018 on Bunka Housou to further introduce the project with the guests. It will be hosted by seiyuu Toshiyuki Toyonaga (the Durarara!! series), Mikako Komatsu (the K project), and Shiori Mikami (the Yuru Yuri series).

Satelight and Sci-Fi. Definitely looking forward to that. And it's pretty much a given that Kawamori will be supervising the project one way or another.
J.C. Staff and Fantasy go hand in hand, so I'll be looking forward to that as well.
Doga Kobo seems to be the wildcard, but they do a bit of slice of life....
Wait...
J.C. Staff = Fantasy = Past
Doga Kobo = Slice of Life = Present?
Satelight = Sci-Fi = Future
2020 isn't actually that far off, so whatever ideas they have, they better get on to it fast.

But in all seriousness this sounds pretty promising, not going to lie.

I don't get it. If these 3 anime are different in genre and studios, then why announce it together as a collaboration project? It'd also be fan-written so I don't think that these 3 anime will be connected to each other. So isn't this is technically a separate project from each companies with different studios and stories?
This project is about 3 companies collaborate to finance 3 different anime, not 3 anime studios collaborate to make 3 different anime. Just read the news again if you missed the details.

This could be a big thing in the future but we'll have to wait and see. 2020 is still a bit far away.
