I wouldn't mind an anime where an Akita Inu or Tosa Inu has a starring role. Hopefully the new project has more info by years' end.

SUPER EXCITED. I've loved everything Ikuhara has done this far, and I can't wait to see another title from him.

Hopefully it gets simulcasted here when it comes out. I've never followed a title of his as it aired in Japan before, so it would be cool to finally do that.

Anyone else think that Ikuhara saw Yuri!!! on Ice and that's what convinced him that this was the perfect place to make a new work?

I'm not sure, but I would love to see a gay/bi guy centered work from Ikuhara for a change of pace. But knowing Ikuhara, I'm sure his next title will be yet another lesbian anime. Razz

Although he's obviously more focused on lesbian content, there's a non-negligable amount of gay imagery in Utena (including one hard-to-forget sequence in the movie).

One of the many reasons I love Utena, haha. His work has its fair share of gay/bi guys too (even Penguindrum had one, though it was revealed through a drama CD), they're just never the focal point like the lesbians are.
