Talking about ressurecting old stuff. If anyone is ancient enough to remember Yuusha Raideen, which, acording to ANN, was produced somewere around 1975 (hell, I wasn’t even born yet), they will be happy to know (or not) that Production I.G., along side with Tohokushinsha Film Corporation, decided to make it anew. In other words, to get that stuff on the screens again, this time with a touch of spicy animation.. This new show even has an official (Japanese) website, and it will be released arround Spring 2007, with all them fancy thinghies one would expect from a modern production. The original show had some remake named Chouja Reideen that frustrated it’s viewers from 1996 until 1997, and some related U.S. Manga, entitled Shogun Warriors. Sounds like “Marine Infantry That Will Destroy Vietnam With Chuck Norris In The Lead”. Anyway, here is the staff erected for the show, and the press release on ANN:
