Theatrical "Star Driver" Anime On the Way

It's like an Old Spice commercial with mecha combat--weird, I know

Among recent anime titles, Star Driver was one of the real surprises. What looked like Studio BONES' attempt to cash in on the popularity of Gurren-Lagann's over-the-top cataclysmic mecha action ended up being a fun, unique, character-driven thrill ride that never took itself too seriously.

 

At the "Anime Business Forum+ 2012" event, MBS producer Seiji Takeda commented that a theatrical edition of Star Driver is in the works, but didn't give any more details.

 

As someone whose mind was freaking blown by the dazzling animation, but kind of disappointed by the series' abrupt ending, I can't wait to see what BONES does with this. What about you?

They sadly have, but check the link again for this week's Sakuga Sunday, which has quite a bit of Star Driver animation!

This show needs a conclusion, not a recap, you hear me BONES, not a recap.

Hopefully no recaps, but something that keeps the thrill of the Star Driver itself!

Coincidentally I just finished the series a minute ago. Neat, it'd be nice if it patched things up a little for the end.

Just to be blunt, it seems like everyone and their mother is getting a movie now. XD (Madoka Magica, Blue Exorcist, Fairy Tail, Toaru Majutsu no Index, Steins;Gate, ect.) Just saying~

This also reminds me that I have to finish this show...
