Real Drive
Official Home Page Production I.G's English Site Production I.G and Masamune Shirow team up again for a new anime this Spring called RD Senno Chosashitsu (a.k.a. Real Drive). It officially starts early April, but I decided that it would be a good idea to go ahead and promote the anime for those who want to know what's coming up. You can view the character designs on the main site and catch a glimpse of the gorgeous animation by watching the trailer. I hope you don't mind my stealing the story from the English site:
To summarize, this is a show for those who enjoyed Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, of course, but when you look at Production I.G's recent anime (Guardian of the Sacred Spirit, Ghost Hound, etc.) it should be fairly obvious that this is going to be a well-made anime that everyone should at least give a try. Quite honestly, I can't wait. I'm excited because this is the #1 show I want to watch this Spring and hope that many others feel the same way. Does anyone else look forward to this as much as I do? Thoughts much appreciated!

Ditto. Two great tastes that taste great together. ...Actually I've never really thought about how either of them would taste. Anyway, I'm looking forward to watching this. It almost seems like the next logical step the world would take after Ghost in the Shell, right before the world gets blown up in Appleseed. And anything Masamune Shirow involving quasi-police investigators has to be awesome; I think it's one of the rules of life. |

Oh yes!! I cannot wait for this series. I love Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, and after seeing how well Ghost Hound is turning out this is certainly a must watch. Not to mention it is from the director of Le Chevalier D'Eon (my favorite R1 series of 2007). In short: Real Drive is my most anticipated Spring series besides Code Geass R2.

GiTS 2nd Gig spoiler spoiler[This is basically what Kuze wanted at the end right? I just watched it and it's funny to see this pop up. Especially considering the people involved.] |

Well even though I haven't seen either of the SAC series (want to really badly but Adult Swim aparently doesn't want to show anything other than 2nd GIG and not give me a good start on it dang it!
 ) in reading the basic description for this series it looks really interesting; something I'm gonna like a whole lot. That and after Ghost Hound I think I'm really wanting to see more stuff from Shirow now!  Appleseed eventually, same for SAC, saw the GitS movie and liked that in a way, of course Ghost Hound and now this! Animation quality looks superb, even if the character designs are a bit too chuby, and story looks interesting. Definitely going to be a series I'm looking forward to watching.

The story sounds really interesting and with Production I.G. and Masasume Shirow together again this anime sounds all the more enticing. This is definitely looking to be a good spring season.

I am intrigued by this, seeing who are behind it. It will be high quality for certain. The concept does sound interesting, but execution is all that matters.
Encyclopedia entry says 13 episodes. Is this confirmed? (Most anticipated spring show for me is Kaiba, though) |

I'm not sure about the 13 episodes either. My guess is that those are all that have been announced for the time being (or maybe they are a place filler?), as this season is one of those that has many longer series one of which should be Real Drive.  I think Soul Eater has the same problem; 13 episodes, most definitely longer when looking at the length of the manga.
And Kaiba is also on my list of shows to check out next season. I'll definitely make a thread if no one else does.

Looking forward to this, it will be interesting to see which I.G anime I like the best this spring out of Real Drive and Library War.
Yeah 13 episodes isn't right since Soul Eater was confirmed to be a year long anime back in December. Generally unless the makers state the amount of episode we don't know until the dvd listings come out. |

Gah, I knew I forgot something. I wanted to mention that Real Drive wasn't the only I.G title this spring, but it slipped my mind that they were also doing Library War when I made this thread. Even the character designs are distinctly I.G, which look absolutely fantastic, though I know little about the story. Now I want to make two other threads: one for Kaiba and one for Library War. But I'll save those for later. (Unless someone wants to be me to it?) Next season is just looking better and better every day. Really, it's only in two or three weeks!

I.G are also doing xxxHoluc season 2 this spring, it's not on my radar because I haven't seen the first season. Go check the AoD thread for Library War, I posted a couple blog articles with some info for it and I'm really looking forward to it now.

Production I.G sure has a lot on their plate, more so than what I'm seeing from other studios this season. I also can't wait to check out Mamoru Oshii's latest work The Sky Crawlers, which comes out in Japan in August.

And what's great about I.G is that they can balance this many anime and still make them all look good.

New trailer posted on AoD. The production seriously looks like total win.
