EGG FIRM aims to be a “total producer” of anime projects, in particular projects and content involving Kawahara, Okouchi, and Simbo.
The collaboration names EGG FIRM president Nobuhiro Osawa as outside director of Straight Edge, and similarly names Miki as outside director of EGG FIRM.
It is also producing the upcoming Accel World: Infinite Burst and Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale anime films.
Anime production company EGG FIRM announced on Wednesday that it is collaborating with light novel author Reki Kawahara (Sword Art Online, Accel World), scriptwriter Ichiro Okouchi (Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion), director Akiyuki Simbo (Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Monogatari series) to expand its capability for planning, producing, and animating anime projects.
