Appleseed: Genesis getting canceled is actually a blessing in disguise, seeing as how Romanov Higa, who was up for the position of series director, is a horrible director. For those of you who don't know, he was the man who gave us Cat Blue Dynamite and TANK S.W.A.T. 01, both of which featured some of the worst CGI to come out of Japan.
I would have liked to have seen more of Lupin VIII, despite being toned down from the source material for a younger audience. |

Wow, I never thought that t.A.t.u was known outside of Russia.

They became pretty well known with All the Things She Said, which got heavy radio & TV play & was even used by WWE as the first entrance theme for Victoria when she debuted in the company. The whole controversy behind their image also just helped give them publicity. |

Appleseed XIII only had three episodes released (out of a dozen) before the whole project went under in a cloud of bankruptcy. Seriously, the release schedule was one of the most incompetent I have ever seen attempted. Add in the mo-cap technology and it was an inevitable failure. So we didn't even get to see most of that series, let alone all of it.

The Five Killers is the project (In addition to Gonzo's version of Mardock Scramble that's in the article which I was totally hyped for, though I'm still really enjoying the current one a ton) I'll always remember being disappointed never was able to take off.
That trailer was sooo cool. Last edited by DangerMouse on Sat Feb 23, 2013 2:07 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Simply for being a Yoshitoshi ABe series, the artist that brought us Haibane and Lain, I too would've liked to see Despera on this list.

Oh yeah, good choice. Despera deserves a spot too. |

I think there was a Transformer OVA that was cancelled.
Also the new poll... what the heck!?

I think the closest we're ever going to get to a t.A.t.U anime is the cameo/parody in Panty & Stocking. The first time I saw it I couldn't believe it, but I also didn't know there was supposed to be an anime starring them. I wonder if Gainax through that in there because of that. I mean, also in that episode they parodied Jimi Hendrix, Queen, Oasis, Nirvana, The Beatles, The Sex Pistols, and many other big time musicians/groups, and t.A.t.U just doesn't really fit.

All 13 episodes are on Hulu. Although I could only sit through the first 2. |

Lynzee, not to pick at every little thing, but you should proofread your typing a bit. You have some mistakes here and there, like "lay off", not "lay of". And isn't it Micott? You put an l in twice for the name after spelling it right the first time.
Anyway, I would have liked to see that Gatchaman movie too. Pity, since I did enjoy the Astro Boy adaptation. Lupin VIII sounded cute too, but how typical it's always the estate that ruins everything. |

Ugh, why did you have to remind me that the Alive anime never happened? I'm reading the manga right now, and it's really awesome. I really wish the anime project could of happened. It would have been awesome.

THIS. Many times this. Oh my god yes. I'd completely forgotten about t.A.t.U before reading this article. |

I was very crestfallen when I learned that an Alive anime was never meant to be. It was one of the best goriest action manga I had read at the time of its release.
