I knew about this for quite some time now, but never thought anybody enjoyed the anime enough on this site to ever bother to post about it.
Its pre-production phase is going very slowly (over three years) and has only secured roughly half their budget of $125 million. The only updates thus far have been concept art done by WETA, renowned for their work on Lord of the Rings and King Kong.
I hope that it progresses further later this year. But, considering its production history... I will not hold my breath.
For more insider information, you can go to a fan site dedicated to the project at
