In yet another example of Japan realizing that good, old shows like Trigun and Slayers are better than new, shitty ones, a return to Appleseed has been announced, says Moon Phase. Following the success of Appleseed EX Machina, a new TV anime called Appleseed Genesis, based on Masamune Shirow’s manga, is in the works.

According to the description, it looks like it’ll be directed by Romanov Higa, who basically did all the technical stuff and directed Catblue Dynamite as well as directing the action in the Hellsing OVA, and it’ll also be a 3DCG flick like EX Machina (which Higa did not work on).

Only one cast member has been announced, but it’s a doozy: Romi Paku, who most famously voiced Ed in Fullmetal Alchemist and Nana O in Nana, as well as Hitsugaya in Bleach, Hyuuga Natsume in Gakuen Alice, and Faris (the original, the bounty hunter) in Murder Princess.
