FREAKANGELS Adapted For Animation At Crunchyroll

Warren EllisworkFebruary 25, 2020

A couple of years back, I sold the adaptation rights for the graphic novel series FREAKANGELS by myself and Paul Duffield to Crunchyroll Originals.

This week, Crunchyroll officially announced the FREAKANGELS animated series.

FreakAngels – After civilization comes to a sudden and crashing end, twelve 23-year-old psychics living in the rubble of London must check their wild impulses and discover their better angels in order to rebuild society. A Crunchyroll Studios Production based on the graphic novels by Warren Ellis & Paul Duffield. Coming soon on Crunchyroll.

You can find the image below at the Crunchyroll Originals site:

Here’s the press release, detailing their entire slate and including the full trailer video for the slate.

I have no further details, and will not for some time, so follow Crunchyroll on the social medias if you’re interested and I’m sure more news will pop up there as soon as it’s available.

Quick carb stop while also getting a two mile walk in. Inbox is some terrible number, I have phone interviews for the show scheduled and have to get two scripts out by end of week, so I’m jus enjoying the quiet time.

ME: I just did a 10 minute run and now I can’t feel my legs

CHIP: What, you need legs for writing?

ME:

Already processed a design deck, approved a cover idea, written down some plot beats, beaten the overnight down to Inbox: 10 and chewing salads with sadness. Also doing a mild water load this week, because I’ve been bad at hydration, and I am currently sloshing around with 1400ml of water inside me at (checks clock) 145pm. (I woke up at 10am.)

Okay. The next 31 days are full speed. Here we go again.

ORPHEE

I first watched this on VHS, in the basement of the department store I worked at for a year in the mid-Eighties, while I was supposed to be doing admin stuff of some kind. It’s lived in my head ever since, and it’s a joy to finally have a decent copy of it.

OXLAND CYLINDER, Kemper Norton

Warren EllisscoreFebruary 24, 2020

Been a big fan of Kemper Norton for more years than either of us would like to remember. Monday begins with a new Kemper Norton record, which you can click through to buy, or stream once or twice for free. Give it a go:

In the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century the majority of the world’s arsenic was created in Cornwall and Devon.
The “ Oxland Cylinder “ was one of the methods used and was a revolving iron tube used to process and vapourise arsenic pyrites. None of these devices remain intact.

It’s gently melancholy, which is good for a rainy windy dark Monday out here on the Thames Delta.

Well, you could do all the things you’re supposed to do, or you could put on the radio and make chili

The day after my birthday, I started keeping a written log of what I do every day. Even after only a week, it exposes that even on the days I don’t think I’ve done much, I do a lot. It’s just that slews of emails and AV and document processing and calls don’t feel like the actual work. I need to remind myself that, these days, it is in fact a big part of the actual work.

As of today, I have also had to become one of those people who logs their water intake. I tell you, this bio-maintenance shit is some bullshit. I should have been sideloaded into a new body by now.

Kemper Norton just sent me his new record, I’m off —

How CASTLEVANIA Season 3 Started

Warren EllisworkFebruary 22, 2020

This was the first line.

I’d written a short document. I printed it off and pasted the pages into a large Field Notes Dime Novel Edition notebook. And I went to a hotel room in London and didn’t come out until I’d broken down the whole season.

I remember clearly standing on the hotel balcony around 1 in the morning, looking down on East London, and suddenly realising the sound of Saint Germain. A few months later, Bill Nighy agreed to take the part of Saint Germain, which was good, because I would have been fucked if he’d said no, because he was that sound.

Also, seriously, how good is my life that I got to write for Bill Nighy?
