The cover of the April 2008 edition of Comic Gum makes the announcement that Ikkitousen will be returning in a third series, entitled “Great Guardians”! Moon Phase Diary brings details regarding the anime staff and cast, which seem nearly identical to that of the second season (Dragon Destiny); the official anime site is scheduled for an update on February 25th to reflect the news, and the series is scheduled to air on TV this summer. April ’08 Comic Gum cover image and inner magazine scoop below:
This puts a crimp in the theory that we’d be seeing a Sekirei anime from this team sometime soon; I’m still holding out hopes that Media Factory will put the Genshiken staff to work on Sekirei, but we’ll be watching for firm news either way come the middle of March.
Oh and looking at the ad – Ryofu is back?! New anime original character?! Things could get interesting here…
Agreed, a third season is good news for the whole PVC industry, but I’m still waiting for my official DD art-book ! XD
O HA TA!!
O HA TA!!
O HA TA!!
O HA TA!!
yay more ryomou and/or other sexily clad figures!
If Ryofu is actually back, then perhaps they’re going to redo the original season? I wouldn’t be against that idea, personally. The first season’s designs were awful.
And I hope Satoshi gets more work on this series. I can never get enough Satoshi eye-candy. 8)
Too good to be true news for me definitely~ :D Life is so beautiful
This is great another season hell yeah.
Damn, where’s Kan’u?!
[…] read some Ikkitousen when I got back (the third season announcement is what prompted me) – it’s bad in some of the best ways […]
