Gainax confirms its 20th century Great Britain anime

Gainax confirms its 20th century Great Britain anime photo



When Gainax announced its oddly-titled upcoming project, Pansuto (AKA Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt), there were equal waves of approval and doubt that flowed throughout the anime community. What in the world (albeit, the crazy, slanted world of Gainax) could this show possibly be about? Would it be more story/character-driven like Gurren Lagann or something akin to the prepubescent tomfoolery of Hanamaru Kindergarten?

Just as more detailed speculation regarding the show has been beginning to surface, today at the Fanime 2010 convention in San Jose, California (which I am now kicking myself for not attending, it being in my neck of the woods and all) Gainax's co-founder and executive director Hiroyuki Yamaga confirmed during a packed-house 'History of Gainax' panel/Q&A the circulating theories regarding a rumored second, "more refined" Gainax production. Seriously, isn't everything Gainax puts out pretty damn refined?

*awaits backlash*

Like many had gathered, specifically from a new job listing Gainax had put forth in late April, this new anime will indeed be taking place in 20th century Great Britain. The precise dates are yet to be known, but a general timeline between 1900 and 1930 has been established. According to Anime News Network's article, there seems to have been some kind of priliminary translation mishap at the Fanime discussion today:

The panel's interpreter inadvertently translated Yamaga's response about the second project's setting as "19th-century England," but Yamaga had actually said "20-seiki Igirisu" or "20th-century Great Britain."

As you can see, things were cleared up with the quickness to quell any kind of confusion.

This initial confirmation about the show is the only solid news that has been reported as of now. We here at Japanator will be sure to keep you updated on this topic, as we all know how much the majority of you cherish your Gainax anime.

I don't like the art style, but its gainax so it should definetly be interesting!
@undyingstorm

I may be mistaking if you are confused or not, but the art in the header is not for the Great Britain show--no screens have been released for that yet.
@Mike LeChevallier

haha yup i was mistaken xP
Now would we really want Gainax to be more refined?
What ever comes out of this I am sure it will be interesting. Though that's not always for the better.
in similar news: DRRR got licence in Europe.
More refined? If anything, Gainax should avoid being refined. Based on what I've seen, Gainax's best works have been the ones that gave off the impression that they seriously did not give a sh*t about common sense or logic.

But whatever, if it's Gainax, I'll watch it.
@Gee

I actually got a pretty good lol out of the fact that Yamaga used the word "refined" in the first place.
I am always up for some gainax craziness.

@Meji I have just seen that and it is awesome, lets hope we get some nice Blu-rays
I say! Gainax always does come up with some most interesting stuff, so this too should good to enough, and I slightly can't wait!

I still want to know what the mascot "Garter Belt" is.
Really nice post ,thanks watch bleach full metal sub
