Masami Obari On New Dancougar Anime
Date: 8/25/2006
News continues to filter in from Charahobby 2006 held this past weekend in Tokyo. Animation studio Ashi Productions had an interesting poster at their booth (seen left). They plan to produce a sequel to their 38 episode 1985 mecha TV anime Choujuu Kishin (Super Beast Machine God) Dancougar. Tentatively being titled "Shin Dancougar", the new work will take the form of a TV series to be directed by Masami Obari (Fatal Fury, Gowkaizer). Oddly enough, one of Obari's first professional anime jobs was designing the mecha in the original Dancougar. According to AshiPro, the project is in the pre production phase where staff are still being gathered, they say look for the new series in about 1 years time. From the poster however, several confirmed staff details can be gathered: Story by Takeshi Shudo (Nadesico) and Mitsui Hideki (Magikano), Character Design by Kazuko Tadano (Sailor Moon), Concept Design by Katsuji Murakami (Zeta Gundam), Mecha Design by Masami Obari and Koji Nakakita (Wandaba Style), Art Director: Shigeru Katsumata (Mazinger Z), Animation Production by Ashi Productions Ltd., Production by the "New Dancougar"Production Committee.
