Rumor Quashing: Bones List Is Probably Fake
A follow-up on the FMA and DtB sequels rumor: Canned Dogs reports that the list of animators was fake and made by a third party just to stir up trouble. It is noted that at least one animator’s contact information– Mnemosyne director Ueda Shigeru’s –was real, and he even received an anonymous fax apologizing for the leak of his personal info.
But even if the animators’ information is all real, it could still have been a third party (one with either industry access or remarkable stalking skills) that put the list together with false information on the sequels. Or it could be that Bones is just trying to cover their asses– only time will tell. I’m inclined to think the former, though, because if Bones is just covering up, it’ll be revealed if/when those series actually DO get made.

Remember when Madhouse (I think that’s who it was) accidentally revealed Gunslinger Girl 2 on their budget reports, and then when it became public, they took it off and were like “Gunslinger Girl 2? I don’t know what you’re talking about?”
And then of course like 3 or 4 months later they announced it.

@Josh: I think it was Marvelous Entertainment, and that’s not quite how I remember it happening (they took it down and “no comment”-ed questions, IIRC)…but I could be wrong; that was a while ago.

Oh yeah…Marvelous. You’re right. Well, it began with an M anyway lol.

Aww … *tear*
News of a FMA sequel was the only thing keeping me from ritual suicide. *heads for the cliffs of Dover*

As far as I’m concerned gunslinger girl 2 never existed, along with the Tsukihime anime, although I do have high hopes for a second season of DTB
