For Hotaru, the anime series will tap into magic and science.

We are honored to attract such esteemed creative collaborators who share our commitment to innovative storytelling,” the executive shared.

As for Studio Gonzo, the company was founded by former members of Gainax, the studio behind Neon Genesis Evangelion. However, the company would evolve into the studio we know today by February 2000.
