Rumors Foretold Mardock Scramble Cancellation Date: 1/5/2007 |
Prior to Gonzo's official announcement in late December, rumors had already hit the Japanese web, speculating production on the Mardock Scramble OVA project may be headed for the rocks. D-Rights Yahoo Blog was among the earlybirds making a brief mention of the possibility in a December 13th entry. Unconfirmed rumors elsewhere indicate a sponsor may have pulled out of the project leaving inadequate funding for the completion. An interview in the July edition of SF Fantasy Magazine indicated production was considerably advanced. Many Japanese observers have mentioned for an anime work of this scale to be cancelled at this stage of development is truly unprecedented and may be even an industry first. |
