Continuing his depressing, inexorable downward spiral towards total, lunatic irrelevancy, Kawamori Shoji has apparently signed up to direct a Voltron-esque robot show about kids protecting the world in a post-environmental-disaster future, named Sousei no Akuerion. How very, very Captain Planet of him. No doubt we'll be getting more of his wacky new cult's wacky new eco-theology along with the tinker-toy robots. To think that this is the same man who made the near-perfect Macross Plus. How the mighty hath etc.

Via Natsume Maya. Wish s/he'd get permalinks...
