At the very least, that's an impressive voice cast.

I doubt we’ll be hearing about that anytime soon, considering that at the moment AIC RIGHTS seems to be busy with Masahiro Inoue’s PINK Tokusatsu Project (華衛士F8ABA6ジサリス). Although, Masahiro Inoue (the guy from Kamen Rider Decade) was recently appointed as representative director of AIC RIGHTS a few days ago, so hopefully that might change things. The only really Megazone 23 related announcement as of late is that they’re according to their website doing some Megazone 23 motor show in Tokyo

thanks for the info, much appreciated
I wish them good luck in this tenchi anime project

After seeing that Negishi and his Saber/AIC Project is now involved makes me feel a bit better. It’s not surprising that actual production is being outsourced to DNA, considering that Negishi is also a board director of that company, though I would’ve rather that it had been ZERO-G as pretty much all the former AIC PLUS+ guys work there now and have pretty solid production values. But it’s fine, could’ve been worse.
