Some information on the series itself

The previous anime was a story that was carried away all through the feature film.

This time were making a new project based on the original manga.  We’re trying to give it a look that is completely different from the first series.  In terms of the original manga, when the first series was released, the comics were up to volume 3 or 4.

At this point there are about 21 volumes of the manga on sale, so using that material as a base, we’re trying to create an interesting new look.  Put that way, when compared to the last series, the expansive world of the original manga, the detailed meanings of the original drawings, the original story and its involving storyline, the anime will bring all of that together.

When asked on the length of the second series…

We haven’t decided yet.  But well this is the second time, so we want to make it impressive.

We don’t know exactly when the original manga will end, but we, the animators, hope to keep it going.
