Gundam 00 Assistant Director Masaki Kitamura Arrested for Massacre Threat [News via AnimeNewsNetwork]
Suspect denies posting threat on Osaka's site after
police ID'ed his wireless IP address
Police in Osaka arrested 42-year-old anime technical
director Masaki Kitamura on Sunday on suspicion of writing "I will commit
a massacre" on the city's website. According to the police, the suspect
denied the charges, saying, "I'm completely innocent."
The suspect is accused of going to Osaka's inquiry page
on the Internet and writing, "I will commit a massacre in Otaroad [in
Osaka's Nipponbashi area] next Sunday. I will ram into pedestrian paradise, and
after stabbing indiscriminately with a knife, I will commit suicide" on
July 29 at about 9:45 p.m.
Except the suicide part, the threat is similar to the
killing of seven people that took place in Tokyo's Akihabara district in 2008.
"Pedestrian paradise" is the traditional practice of cordoning
vehicles off a particular street or streets and limiting the area to foot
traffic. Nipponbashi's Otaroad is essentially Osaka's otaku shopping
counterpart to Tokyo's Akihabara.
According to the authorities, they analyzed the IP
address that originated the threat and discovered it was linked to a high-speed
wireless LAN device owned by Kitamura.
Kitamura was an assistant director on both seasons of
Mobile Suit Gundam 00. He was also a director of the 10th installment of Gundam
Evolve and an episode director on Ergo Proxy, GUNxSWORD, Intrigue in the
Bakumatsu - Irohanihoheto, Planetes, Wolf's Rain, and other series.

Gundam Creator Tomino's G-Reko Entering Full Fledged Production
[News via AnimeNewsNetwork]
Director discusses robot project's status & he
distances it from Gundam:
ANN obtained the
October issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Gundam Ace magazine on Saturday and
confirmed that it said that G-Reko, the newest robot project from creator
Yoshiyuki Tomino (Gundam, Ideon), will be "entering full-fledged
production." The update on G-Reko ran in Tomino's "Oshiete Kudasai.
Tomino Desu" column.
Tomino was in the middle of interviewing Japanese modern
artist Takashi Murakami in his column when he commented on the taxing nature of
creating a work "on the level of a television series." Tomino also
said that the scenario for the whole G-Reko project has been written and is
currently being reevaluated. He added that he would like to draw the
storyboards for the entire production, though he realizes that doing so may be
impossible.
Tomino said that the "G-Reko" name was chosen
in part because "the 'Gundam' name was a total nuisance when trying to
develop a new kind of robot story." He noted that the "G" in the
title was revealed earlier as standing for "gravity."
For the past few years, Tomino has been discussing
"Hajimetai Capital G no Monogatari," a proposed text novel project
which featured a space elevator. This method of ferrying objects from a
planet's surface to orbit has been a plot point in such anime as The Super Dimension
Century Orguss, Mobile Suit Gundam 00, and Tomino's own Turn A Gundam. Then,
late last year, Kadokawa Shoten revealed the launch (pictured left) of Tomino's
similar G-Reko project at Sunrise, the anime studio behind Gundam and Ideon.
Tomino concluded his Murakami interview by stating that
he is taking a break from his Gundam Ace column, which he began in 2003. He
cited the time commitment required of him for the production of G-Reko.
