Junpei Mizusaki directed Batman Ninja, and has also worked as an opening animation producer for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders Battle in Egypt Arc.
The official website for Comic Con International: San Diego revealed last week in its panel schedule listings that Takashi Okazaki (Afro Samurai) and Junpei Mizusaki (Batman Ninja) are teaming up to work on a new anime film titled Sound and Fury.
Aside from drawing the original Afro Samurai manga and working on the television series and Afro Samurai: Resurrection film, Takashi Okazaki also worked as a character designer on Batman Ninja, Summer Wars, and Garo -Vanishing Line-.
The panel listing states that the film “merges American rock music with anime.”
