Fuji TV announced during its Noitamina Line Up 2014 event on Friday that it will premiere the original anime Zankyō no Terror (Terror of Resonance) in its Noitamina block this July. Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Kids on the Slope) is directing the anime at the studio Mappa. Yoko Kanno (Macross Plus, Cowboy Bebop, Kids on the Slope) is composing the music, and Kazuto Nakazawa (Samurai Champloo) is designing the characters.

The tagline of the anime is “Pull the trigger on this world.” The anime’s website give this story introduction:

On a summer day …

A massive terrorist bombing suddenly struck Tokyo.

The culprits behind the act that woke up this complacent nation from its slumber, were just two boys.

Now, the culprits known as “Sphinx” begin a grandiose game that encompasses all of Japan.

Redline director Takeshi Koike will direct a new Lupin III spinoff anime film that is slated to open early this summer. The Lupin the IIIrd Jigen Daisuke no Bohyō (Lupin the IIIrd: Daisuke Jigen’s Gravestone) film will be a “continuation spinoff” of the 2012 Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine television anime series. Koike served as the animation director and character designer for that series…Koike said of the new film, “I wanted to try to depict how Lupin and Jigen became partners.”
