Chirality was scheduled to be animated about 1 1/2 years ago, but no further word on any progress.
I hope this is true. While Chirality isn’t my favorite story (due to some lousy writing at times), I think it will make an excellent anime film.
Satoshi Urushihara is known for his gorgeous character designs and detailed artwork, but he’s also known to insist on taking things at his own pace. Plastic Little would not have been completed if it were not for ADV acquiring the rights before it was finished - the production was taking too long, and it would have been cancelled.
I didn’t know that. I hope CPM bankrolls one of his animes.
Satoshi Urushihara is also quite involved with game chara designs, and that seems to be more stable an income source for him (like many artists.)
Toren Smith mention on the Studio Proteus web site that Masamune Shirow makes more from his illustration work than his manga.
