Plot summary of Production I.G.'s 'RD Sennou Chousashitsu'

Comments from the staff and cast were publicized today and you can follow the link below to read further if you like. I don't have time to translate everything so I will just stick to summarizing the plot which they also posted:

In the year 2012, Haru Masamichi who was surveying the phenomenon of the 'burning sea' on the coast of a man-made island got into an accident and went into a comatose.

In the year 2061, Haru Masamichi awakes to an aged body after 50 years. This reality causes him to lose the energy to walk. He has to live on a wheelchair. However, whenever he sees the sea, he still feels the pull of the mystery of 'the law of the earth' which he encountered in the depths of the sea minutes before the accident.

Kushima Eiichirou, who was an old friend of Haru and who has become the executive manager of Denriken, appoints Haru to be a 'diver' of the computer network, Metariaru (also known as Metaru for short).

Aoi Minamo, a girl of great powers of observation, comes to the aid of Haru.

Minamo's elder brother is an intern of Denriken and works under Kushima. He is also skilled in combat. He worries about his sister who seems to have become an assistant of Haru, and comes to frequent Haru's office.

There is also an assistant android called Holon. Together, they form a team and solve problems arising between Metaru and reality.

Furuhashi Kazuhiro is directing this, along with Amatsuki. He has got his hands quite full. My guess is that his energies are directed at RD Sennou Chousashitsu rather than Amatsuki, which explains why Amatsuki (or at least the first episode I have seen of it) seems rather pedestrian. Certainly it seems several notches off from his level at Le Chevalier D'eon. I for one just hope that he will do justice to both shows.
