We're probably never going to see another Sayo Yamamoto anime, and that honestly breaks my heart more than I have words to convey. I feel so much anger on her behalf. Fuck MAPPA.

Animehunch Team: You’ve worked as a producer on many popular titles, including Black Clover and Fullmetal Alchemist. However, you were also involved with Yuri!!! on ICE. This is something fans are desperate to ask about. The planned movie, ICE ADOLESCENCE, was officially cancelled by MAPPA, which left many fans heartbroken as they loved the series dearly. We know this is a sensitive topic, and you may not be able to discuss it, but fans would be incredibly grateful for any insight you could offer as to what went wrong or why the movie was ultimately cancelled.

Hideo Katsumata: I can’t talk about the details, as that includes some very private matters. But if you ask whether it’s a creative or business issue, the reasons stem from the creative side. The main reason is that it couldn’t be made due to creative reasons. Since it was an original animation, the people involved—including the creators and the animation studio, MAPPA… among the creators, on the creative side, a situation arose where it just became impossible to proceed with production.

An epic rerelease that I did not see coming! Had to instantly preorder cause I’m still kicking myself for letting Sets 2 and 3 go out of print. (And it’s crazy since I just hauled Set 1, what timing!)

In the vein of complete season rereleases, I’m still holding out on Fate/Apocrypha, Aniplex… 🙏

The Galaxy Express 999 TV series is one of the big adventure classics.

The adventures of Tetsuro & Maetel on that train flying through space is full of character & adventure, and often swings hard on the drama.

It's still fantastic.

The new 4K restoration of "Perfect Blue" (by Satoshi Kon) is coming in North American theaters on October 3.
And one of the cool things about GKIDS distributor is that they also offer trailers in 4K >> youtu.be/RrWausp8zDQ
