2ch circulates an interesting rumour of uncertain provenance: evil publisher Kadokawa may drop Gonzo as the producer of the upcoming second season of Strike Witches, supposedly as they have no need of them.
Given Gonzo’s troubles, such a move may seem less unlikely than otherwise, and all manner of utterly baseless speculation flies as to whether the likes of Kyoto Animation or Gainax might pick it up in their stead (artist’s impression below).
Even in the case of Gonzo being dropped, it seems likely that the current director, and of course the seiyuu cast, will be unchanged, so fans need not worry too much, only wait and see if this latest rumour turns out to be another dark chapter in the history of Gonzo…
what the f♥♥k i dunno!!!
Bah.. why not make a new lucky star instead :3
A HA HA HA! I see, April Fools!
….
Oh. Jumped the gun there a little…
Gonzo’s gone a long way since Last Exile.
I blame the overwhelming global recession.
Also, Gantz.
If this is true, the director should be killed ASAP and replaced by a thinking one… Fanservice is the very elemental rule of anime popularity in Japan among, well teenagers and above… As for the story, was there really so much importance in the neuroi? Do you suggest we go with this anime historically and swap the girls into men in full army uniforms?
If you think so, go check with your doc, he should tell you whats wrong with you…
Strike Witches – Gonzo = less fanservice?
does this compute?
