Takashi Murakami's magical girl anime. It is set to air on the 30th December as a 1 hour special on Tokyo MX but looks like it has been a production disaster.
Murakami made a post on social media recently detailing that the show isn't finished at all and won't be finished in time, apologising to the staff involved. 140 cuts have no backgrounds, and there is unfinished animation and CG work to be done with a delivery date of 25th December. Apparently they will air it as just background layouts and line drawings.

Holy shit.
A shame, I liked the original PV.

I didn't know much about this before but seeing this has made me want to watch it.

Huh, so that's what he meant by Superflat.

Probably thought "I'm a highly respected modern artists - making anime will be nothing to me" and then he went and tried to direct one and failed.

I don't know what you thought I was saying, but I was just making a joke about the barely clothed flat chested girl in OP's pic.

Assumed it was something to do with the content of the post.
At least it isn't garbage CG anymore.

I think at some point during the production he tried to change the animation from CG to 2D or something so maybe that is where it started going downhill.
A shame that it will never properly launch off the ground.

Well the post does say he plans to finish it in 2017 and then air it properly I think.
I don't get the adherence to a release date, if it's not done. Just delay it and launch it proper in 2017. They're going to do that anyways, the december release will just look terrible.

Dunno I get that they paid for it already but surely airing shit anime is just going to give the project a bad name. They could just put a making of in there and some stuff about Murakamis career, interviews and an extended preview or something instead. Wouldn't that be better?
>>151196869
They probably need the money from the unfinished release to actually finish it.

He seems regretful.
Speaking of magical girl anime designed by famous artists that will never see the light of day, whatever happened to Magical Suite Prism Nana or Breetschlag?

Prism Nana episodes have been shown at screening events only so far I think.
