Surprising, but certainly not unreasonable. P-IG has done a lot of successful work so far, especially recently with
GITS 2,
Prince of Tennis,
Kill Bill, and
Avenger. I will admit, though, I haven't actually
seen much they've done recently (
GITS 2 and
GITS: SAC are on my "to watch" list).
I'm waiting on an announcement of staff and cast before I say it's a good thing or bad thing that IG is doing it. They tend to have a bigger influence on the production than the studio does.
Personally, I'd like to hear:
- Houko Kuwashima (Minoru in Chobits, Jounochi Sai in Angelic Layer) as Yuko
- Masami Kikuchi (Keiichi in Oh! My Goddess) as Watanuki
- Kyoko Hikami (Rabi~en~Rose from DiGi Charat) and Hiroko Konishi (Sae from Magic User's Club) (together the Nyan Nyans from Fushigi Yuugi) as Maru and Moro
- Takehito Koyasu (just about every major bishonen out there) as Doumeki
I can't wait to see it. The R2 DVD will probably be in my hands less than a week after its release.
