An original anime titled Chikyuugai Shounen Shoujo (Extraterrestrial Boys and Girls) was announced at this year's Anime Central convention on Saturday. Mitsuo Iso will pen and direct the sci-fi series at Signal.MD with character designs by Kenichi Yoshida (Eureka Seven). This project marks Iso's directorial work in a new anime since Dennou Coil 11 years ago.

In the year 2045, Internet and artificial intelligence have become widespread in the outer space. Following a massive accident at a space station, a group of children are left behind. Using narrowband and SNS, low intelligence AI, and smartphone-controlled drones, they overcome numerous crises.
