Hideaki Anno, Khara Produce New Yamato Anime Film Project

Anime director Hideaki Anno announced after the 50th anniversary screening for Yoshinobu Nishizaki and Leiji Matsumoto’s Space Battleship Yamato anime on Sunday that he and his studio Khara are producing a Yamato project with new anime footage.

Anno said he could not reveal details on the project yet, but emphasized that it is different from the ongoing remake projects launched by the Space Battleship Yamato 2199 anime.

Anno said that Khara received license approvals from Yamato’s rights holders Voyager Holdings and Tohokushinsha Film Corporation to produce new anime footage.
