According to Sports Hochi, Amano Yoshitaka will direct a new 3D CGI anime movie "ZAN". It's an original samurai movie and a worldwide release in 2011 is planned. Amano established a new studio "Studio Debarocca" and will do the scenario, the key animation and the direction.

The story takes place in the late 19th century. A samurai Zan is led by "World of Will" in the different dimension and fights against the evil with his steel beast "Panther".

This. Also, are 'movies in 3D' even popular in Japan?

Well, Amano does have a pretty solid fanbase in Europe and the Americas, you know.

I wasn't assuming that this was going to be in 3D (a la Avatar), but I can't really imagine Amano's work in CG. Oh wait, I can: those CG intros to Final Fantasy IV-VI released on the PSX were horribly gaudy. Unless this is some kind of CG blend of 2D art — which it sounds like it won't be — then I worry that this will end up being some hideous crap, but we can only wait and see.

3D? Seriously, no. Just had too many of them released since Avatar came to the movies already. No more!
