Tatsunoko Production's official website has announced that a television anime adaptation of its Tachumaru Zukan Project has been green-lit for this October. Tachumaru Zukan re-imagines some of Tatsunoko's most popular anime franchises as a newly evolved species of super-deformed animals known as "Tachū-rui." These mysterious "Tachumaru" (Tachumals) are "small and cute," but have special fighting moves.
In particular, Gatchapen (center in image) combines the 1972 Science Ninja Team Gatchaman's Ken the Eagle with a penguin, Nyasshan (left) combines the 1973 Casshern anime with a cat, and Piyotan (right) combines the 1981 The Gold Lightan anime with a chick. The website posted a sample Flash-animated movie earlier this year, and the website is slated for future updates with more movies.

As a fan of Casshern Sins, I find it weird that Casshern is a cat... with a dog as a pet. Ken the Eagle as a penguin, it fits considering that Gatchaman is a team which theme is birds.
