Media news website Comic Natalie reported on Thursday that Mamoru Oshii is directing the animation film adaptation of Baku Yumemakura’s Chimera novels.
G’s post on the school fantasy film does not reveal if this film is related or separate from the Chimera film project.
Oshii has not directed a new anime feature film since The Sky Crawlers in 2008.
Yumemakura had confirmed last week that Oshii would be working on a film adaptation of Chimera in animation, but did not specify if Oshii would direct, write, or produce the project.
