posted on by Egan Loo
The March issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Newtype magazine is revealing on Saturday that director Hiroyuki Imaishi (Dead Leaves, Gurren Lagann, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt) is starting a new animation project. The untitled project will be at his relatively new studio Trigger, and more information will be provided in the June issue on May 10.

Update: The project is planned as a television series, and the planning meetings began three years ago about the time Imaishi was working on Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. Hiromi Wakabayashi (Gurren Lagann production designer, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt conceptual planner) created the finishing special effects on the drawing that Imaishi himself drew.
