“Planet of the Apes: New Kingdom” director Wes Ball and TRIGGER ( Kill la Kill, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Delicious in Dungeon ) co-founder Hiroyuki Imaishi have toyed with the idea of ​​a collaborative anime series. from “ Planet of the Apes ” at Disney.

 


Imaishi and Ball gave an interview to Japanese outlet The River earlier this month. Ball pointed out the similarities between Simon from “Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann” and Noah from “Planet of the Apes: New Kingdom” before commenting on the difficulty of cutting content for a film. " But with an anime series ," she said, " you can take your time and draw things." A movie is two hours long, so even if you try to fit everything in, it's not that easy. I would love to try a series . Imaishi responded: " Planet of the Apes is a fascinating series that looks like it could have a lot of juice if it were turned into an anime ." The interviewer then suggested collaborating on a new anime for the franchise.

In response, Ball pointed to the sky and shouted, " Yes!" Sounds interesting. Let's ask Disney. It could be great ». Imaishi noted: " There aren't many franchises starring monkeys in Japan. If I were to make one for the Japanese market, I would like to try a 'monkey school .'" Ball then responded: “ That's great! (laughs) Let's create a 'Hero Ape Demia' like in 'My Hero Academia! ». Ball then shared that his daughter was hooked on the “Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon” manga.

If it ever comes to fruition, it wouldn't be the first time TRIGGER has created an anime based on a Western franchise. Earlier this month, Imaishi, who directed “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners,” released new artwork for the series ahead of an upcoming RPG release. The series is inspired by “Cyberpunk 2077”, which in turn is based on Mike Pondsmith's Cyberpunk universe.
