Wow. I didn't even know this was in production.
It seems Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust), will be directing it. One of my favorite anime directors too.
Just a teaser but looks badass and high budget. Animated by Madhouse!

When I first heard about this my reaction was, "You mean Mermaid's Scar?"
Anyways, it makes sense to do an anime version of Highlander, but it'll have to be pretty good to stand out from the crowd of samurai anime.
Anything's better than Gaumont's Highlander: The Animated Series!!

Oh man....that was friggin awful. I guess the producers are desperate for cash with no tv shows and the movies tanking.

Are they desperate for cash? Possibly.
Heck, I'm just glad they're doing an anime of the franchise.
I think it's neat as heck.

Too bad it looks like any other anime. I'll definitely pass.

Suh-WEET. Highlander was made for anime style action. I'm definitely keeping tabs on this one.

I'd hate for the Highlander franchise to die out. An anime seems like a great way to go for it. Really, there's only so much you can do with a TV or movie series when the main characters aren't suppossed to age. As long as there's no Planet Zeist, it'll have to be better than Highlander II.
