Iron Vendetta Robot Anime Episode Begins Production

The team behind the Kōtetsu no Vendetta (Iron Vendetta) military robot project announced in a Saturday blog entry that production on project's first full anime episode has been green-lit. To celebrate the announcement, the project's creator Thumbnail posted a new 59-second promotional video on the Nico Nico Douga video website. (An earlier, two-minute promotional video was posted on the YouTube website in December.) The creators aim to finish the episode next year.

The project began with a still "picture drama" short, which eventually evolved into a partially animated pilot film. The dōjin (self-published) creators sold a preview DVD at Tokyo's Comic Market 75 convention last December, and will distribute a new release at this summer's Comic Market 76.
