anime!anime! reports that for the 30th anniversary of Cobra, Buichi Terasawa’s classic 1978 space manga-turned-anime (which sold over 30 million copies), a new OVA and TV anime are being developed. The 4-volume OVA will begin being released on August 29th, and it looks like the TV anime will air sometime after that, and be 13 episodes, and Terasawa is going to personally oversee it.

This marks the fourth time in the last couple of months that anime companies are returning to the classics, in case you’re keeping count. ♥
