Star Driver Anime Announced, From Bones

If only each year would be as impressive for studio Bones, as 2009 was... But, so far this year, we only have the robot anime Heroman that's been airing since April; and now they are announcing yet another robot anime with a pretty similar "dude-pilots-huge-thing" concept. It's called Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto (Star Driver: Radiant Takuto), and for those who usually enjoy this genre, this could turn out to be a big one.



Some noteworthy staff members include director Takuya Igarashi and character designer Yoshiyuki Ito, both from the team that animated Soul Eater, joined by some other guys that you can read about on ANN. Star Driver will be an original TV anime series, by the way, with a story about a boy named Takuto (or Tact) who pilots a robot named Taubaan (or Tauburn).

The anime's official website opened shortly after the news emerged from online reports and magazine scans, and I seem to recall reading somewhere that it will begin airing in Japan during the Fall 2010 season - so October'ish. But hell if I can find the damn link from yesterday... Oh, well.
