The new TV anime by Production I.G and Shirow Masamune will be aired from April 8th, yeah very soon.
The story of that new series seems based on the same line of "Ghost in the Shell" although characters in GITS won't appear in this new one.

The 2nd season of the animation movie "Nodame Cantabile" started to be aired on ch8 (Fuji TV)!!!
According to the official information, APPLESEED EX MACHINA will be coming to theaters also this fall!
A bit old news about new project. Production I.G. is working on their new animation movie based on the story by GITS fame Shirow Masamune again. The title is "Shinrei-gari/GHOST HOUND," and it'll be exclusively aired on WOWOW this fall.
Production I.G. worked also on its comics version, titled "Shinrei-gari ANOTHER SIDE" published already on the monthly comic magazine ComicBlade. They are planning to publish that comic series also on the another monthly comic magazine called MagGarden which they invest.
I accidentally found this Nodame anime when I was still awake late at night. Then I became a fan of this anime. WTH, don't I hate girly mangas and animes? Well, this one is very interesting story and attractive characters in it.
In Tokyo, there are few colleges specialized with music related things, as far as I know, there are only 3 schools. Like in this anime, most students at those schools are from very rich family, it's not rare to see student couples with their own kids even they are still young students. Their parents feed them until they graduate, of course. Envious... lol
When I was a 18-19 years old university student, I often went to coffee shop near of the railroad station close to my home. Many of regular customers are students of one of those music schools, also boys and girls of art school located near of next station. At that time, I was a bad student, concentrating my part time job (i.e. earning money) more than study. One day, the manager guy asked me to work at that coffee shop instead of him. o_O; I said OK, well, some of regular girls are very cute, that's my another reason anyway.
After I started to work at that coffee shop, I found most of those music school students are from very rich family I wrote above. They are nice persons, most of them had never been imperious nor rude, always very kind, gentle and sincere even to coffee shop worker like me. However, I felt something different between us. It must be a "class" I guess. They are so different from me who was born and raised in downtown area of Tokyo.
As I'm writing about them now I remind other regular customers at the coffee shop. Yes, art school students. I didn't know why, but most of them are girls there. There's the very nice and cute girl among them, soon I fell in love with her. She's from Hiroshima and taking up textile design course. She once invited me to her apartment to let me take a look at her design work, but we never into special relationships unfortunately (to me).
Then I soon met the American girl living also in Tokyo (at that time), and spent most of my time to be with her and her foreign friends. I quit working at the coffee shop cuz I needed more time to be with her.
Hmmmm, how many girlfriends have I had until now? Never count them....**GRIN**

News says that Production I.G. talks to Koudansha (in kanjis 講談社) which holds the right of "Ghost in the Shell" series, to make "actual version" of that manga/anime. Seems they Production I.G. is planning to produce its movie (by actual human characters/actors) in Hollywood in near future. I wonder if it gets success... 嫌な予感．．．
