The master of the Mind Game-- and director of the anime film Mind Game --Masaaki Yuasa, also known for the more recent and phenomenal Kaiba and occasional work on the Crayon Shin-chan anime, is hard at work again on a new anime called Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei.

Does it look like something up your alley?
