Appleseed Series is Back On

Micott & Basara, which produced the two CG Appleseed feature films and announced the never-produced Appleseed: Genesis television series, has now announced the development of a 13 episode CG Appleseed OVA series titled “Appleseed XIII.” The thirteen 22 minute episodes will also be compiled into two compilation films. The series will be an original adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s Appleseed manga, unrelated to the previous two CG movies. Takayuki Hamana (Toshokan Senso, Kemono no Souja Erin) will direct with Jun’ichi Fujisaku (Kemono no Souja Erin, RD Senno Chousashitsu) co-screenwriting, Takayuki Goto (Kemono no Souja Erin, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig) providing character design, and Atsushi Takeuchi (Appleseed movie) providing mecha design. Jinni’s Animation Studio (Blame! Prologue) will animate in collaboration with Production I.G.
