Tales of Vesperia First Strike PV

Production I.G is making an anime based off the Tales of Vesperia PS3 game coming out in Japan. The anime seems to be a prequal before the game recounting the stories of Yuri and Flynn as Knights. If only there was a confirmation of a US release I can finally sell off the 360 game and enjoy the extras coming in the PS3 version.

Infinite Space – Short Film – Production I.G x GONZO x Platinum Games x NUDE Maker

Platinum Games new RPG called ‘Infinite Space‘ will be getting a short anime film treatment from Prodcution I.G and GONZO. It seems that this trend of promoting games is catching on and I think it is a good tie in to get more awareness of the product. SEGA has been on a roll lately with RPGs with the 7th Dragon announcement and other game titles. The Game Infinite Space has seem to drawn out Nude Maker after their previous Title Tekki Taisen on xbox.

Anime Trailer

Dengeki has a couple of new screenshots of this upcoming DS game from Sega. An Anime is also in the works from Production I.G. The cast and staff involved seems pretty good too.

The video highlights the involvement of Kirie’s voice actor Mamoru Miyano (Death Note, Gundam 00) and the main heroine Morute Āshera’s voice actress Maaya Sakamoto (Escaflowne, Tsubasa). Rounding out the cast are Yu Kobayashi (Negima!, School Rumble) as the party member Ri A, Hiroyuki Yoshino (Blood+, Gundam 00) as Agan Mādoru, and Daisuke Ono (Air, Shina Dark) as Naja Gurefu. Tohru Furuya (Gundam’s Amuro, Sailor Moon’s Tuxedo Mask) has finally been identified as the voice of the mascot character Toppi Topuran.

The movie also lists the director Shunsuke Tada (The Prince of Tennis: The National Tournament, Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations) and the script supervisor Masahiro Yokotani (Reideen). The game’s original character designs by Kunihiko Tanaka (Xenosaga Episode I, Key the Metal Idol, Ruin Explorers manga) will be adapted for the anime by character designer Keita Matsumoto (Blood+, XXXHOLiC key animation). Yoshihiro Ike (Blood: The Last Vampire, Karas, Flag) will compose the music. Last Exile character designer and Knights manga creator Minoru Murao will be drawing the manga adaptation.

Production I.G Studio Tour

I love Production I.G one of the best anime studios whose works can be called art. One of their first animes I saw was Patlabor and later Ghost in the Shell then the name Production I.G was engraved in my mind regarding that name as high-quality anime.
