That being said, I was highly disappointed with the anime adaptation, and felt like the overall vibe was very different than the original manga (and no, I am not someone who automatically feels that the manga version of any story is superior). The series ran through 1999, spanning five collected volumes.I fell in love with the manga and ended up watching the anime afterwards because I just couldn't get enough of it. The titles were directed by Masami Shimoda, and featured character designs by Shuichi Shimamura ( Honey and Clover).Ī 1996 manga adaptation featured a story by Akahori, character designs by Tsukasa Kotobuki, scripts by Juuki Hanata, and artwork by Yumisuke Kotoyoshi. All three of these titles were animated by Hal Film Maker and Studio Junio. The series was three anime projects, Saber Marionette J, Saber Marionette J Again (OVA), and Saber Marionette J to X, which clocked in at a combined 57 episodes. The franchise took on its most commonly recognized form with Saber Marionette J. The first entry, Saber Marionette R, was a three-episode OVA that was vastly different in tone from the rest of the franchise, though it also established Lime, Cherry, and Bloodberry as central characters. Saber Marionette made its début as an OVA project in 1995.
At the time, the project was given a working title of “Re: Anime Project,” with a teaser image showing off silhouettes of Lime, Cherry, and Bloodberry. In the tweet, Kotobuki refers to the project as “Saber Marionette J: The Last Story.”Įarlier this year, AIC revealed that they acquired the license to Hiroshi Negishi & Satoru Akahori’s Saber Marionette franchise, with plans to produce a new anime project. The studio plans to formally unveil the project sometime in 2016.Ĭharacter designer Tsukasa Kotobuki showed off a teaser image, which shows a seated Otaru being embraced by Marionette Lime.
