Word on 2ch– via 2NN, whose source is the official Neko Rahmen blog –is that the short flash anime version of Neko Rahmen based on Kenji Sonishi’s 4koma manga is getting a sequel. (For more on Sonishi, check here, where I gave a little report on him after another of his 4koma, Inugaisha, was announced to be getting an adaptation.)

No details available just yet, but no doubt they’re pending.

Who Is This Kenji Sonishi Guy Anyway?

Remember how I talked a while back about Neko Rahmen, a 4koma comic strip whose anime had been released subtitled on VUZE a while back and which is now getting a live-action adaptation? Yes/no (circle one and return to me in 5th period!)

Well, it’s once again appeared in the news, tangentially anyway: anime!anime! reports that another work of Sonishi’s, a similar gag manga called Inu Gaisha that features dogs working in an office, is getting made into an anime as well. (It was also made into a live-action series in 2007.

Like Neko Rahmen, it’s going to be a Flash anime; unlike it, the production companies are different. Neko Rahmen was developed as part of THINK Corporation, but Inu Gaisha (literally “Dog Company,” btw) is being developed by indeprox. You can watch a mini-episode-thinger (or maybe a full episode is going to be like that?) at the official website.

So since his works keep coming up these days, I spent a small amount of spare time which I don’t have to look into him, only to find…not a lot of information! What I did find is after the jump. Read more…
