We have encyclopedia entries for all the staff members. While i cant be sure they are all using the correct readings, I can be absolutely certain for Megumi Kadonosono.

And, err... is there anyone over in Japan who'd like to order a copy of the promo for me? They're selling direct from the site and only to Japanese addresses Sad

Hopefully this will fun to watch and not insipid and odd like that Kiddy Grade sequel-ish thing.

I searched all the names up while writing, and most of them did not show up.

Brains Base sold off Durarara!! and My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU just to make this thing?
...
If this doesn't suddenly turn out absolutely amazing, I'm going to have to declare my favorite anime studio to practically be dead after this.

I'm really not digging the designs of this. It looks like those early 2000 anime that had atrocious CGI mechas.

Would that mean that fans of those 2000s mecha anime, who have since grown up, might enjoy this? Maybe it'll have an intentionally retro story as well. It'd be like Mega Man 9 or Whatever Happened to Robot Jones?

I set up an entry and worked them all out as i went. I found existing entries for all of the staff so didn't need to create any, but I can't say that they are all actually romanised correctly (and IIRC there was at least one that probably needs splitting).

You can't sell off what you never owned in the first place.

In any case, Brains Base has gone through some changes with staff splitting up and joining other companies (or starting their own, as in the case of Shuka). Shuka is the continuation of the Durarara/Baccano/Princess Jellyfish/Natsume Yuujinchou production line, so they're the best studio to continue Durarara.

Brains Base as we knew it no longer exists, so a new chapter has begun. In some way, it's a throwback to the earlier era before the mid-2000s.

What a coincidence, I was just thinking about this project yesterday. I like the character designs though. Bright, 2000's and colorful.
