An honest chat with Production I.G

In his blog, Patrick Macias has posted an interview with Production I.G's founder and president Mitsuhisa Ishikawa and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex director Kenji Kamiyama.

Getting straight to the point, Patrick talks with these influential personalities about the worrying state of the Japanese anime industry (Ishikawa: "There are just too many shows and too many productions going on right now.") and questions why Production I.G. projects are often so unique (Ishikawa: "In a live action movie, they’re often star-based project. But in an animation project, its all because of what the director does. I trust all my directors 100% and give them the freedom to make what they want. That’s probably why, from a production standpoint, our works are cool.").
 
That's odd, they talk about a romance for the Major but there's nary a sniff of one up to episode 19 of the 2nd GIG...I suppose there are still 7 episodes to go though, anything could happen.
