GONZO To Produce a TV Anime Series For Malaysia
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.

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

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.

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.

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.
A slang as an official label?? LOL...link me to what you're talking about

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.
