NEWS: Shonen Gangan Hints 'Big Soul Eater Not! Announcement'

If it's indeed an anime (made by Bones again) there is one thing I don't understand.

They announced 1 year and 5 months ago that they were working on a new version of a familiar title (which would be Soul Eater Not). Since there aren't many vol it'd be a short anime (unless they do the same mistake they made with the first SE) why would it take all this time to make a short anime?

I'm not expert in anime or anything like that but I really doubt that short animes take this long to be made.

Are you 100% sure that the "new version of a familiar title" wasn't the movie version of Stardriver? >_>

Even for a short anime, I assume they would have to spend some time lining up promotion, staff and such and maybe even decide to air the project later on or be asked to do so by the manga publisher/creator.

Also, I get the feeling that the Soul Eater NOT anime is going to go through the whole plot of NOT and the original manga, it would just be perfect for the whole thing to be collected together especially as Soul Eater NOT is likely to have quite a few answers that Soul Eater didn't, not just limited to the worldbuilding that we have gotten.
