Production I.G., the company behind such mega anime hits like Ghost in the Shell, Evangelion: Death and Rebirth, and the animated segments of Kill Bill have announced plans to purchase Mag Garden this December, primarily to turn Mag Garden’s titles into animated features.
Founded in June, 2001 Mag Garden publishes four comic mags under the Comic Blade label, as well as more than 100 stand-alone paperbacks. The company is capitalized at Y540,971,000 ($4.4 million). It has had a business tie-up with Production I.G. since November.
