Yume-Miru Kikai Production Officially Re-started

Madhouse has formally resumed production of the late Satoshi Kon’s original children’s anime film Yume-Miru Kikai. Character designer and chief animation director Yoshimi Itazu has been assigned the duties of acting director. Prior to Kon’s death on August 24 due to pancreatic cancer, Madhouse studio founder and CEO Masao Maruyama asserted that the studio would finish the film even if Kon was personally unable to supervise the complete production.
