Could just be babelfish issues, but that article doesn't seem to confirm it's Mushishi, it just makes an informed speculation.
Everyone!
It says Mushishi OR Detroit Metal City sequel could be possible, but he is strongly hinting towards Mushishi. (The fact that Yoshihiko Umakoshi is involved is what they are basing this off of)
Now if you will excuse me....
Maybe its both. Crossover!
It's a shame that Haibane Renmei will never get a true HD release.
erm, Mushishi brah.
They're doing a comedy show about space travel.

Hello, Black/White 2 stuff.
Movie making, new city, new gym, Meloetta flying around, it's a whole new sequel!

You can't ground my hype! Even in the unlikely event that Umakoshi is character designing for a new Detroit Metal City for some strange reason, him working on a series outside Toei is reason enough to get excited.

Truly.
I think all scenarios are positive in this instance.
What's wrong with that gif? It's not even the usual one.
Well don't even know what to say to that.
Why would I want to be in your novel? Baka!

Yup, my favorite show of the season confirmed.

Watanabe says that from now on he wants to try directing a series every year. In 2013 he will be doing a space travel comedy with BONES, and in 2014 he will be doing something "more serious" at MAPPA.
All indications point to DMC going stale after the anime adaptation, so dunno.
Nagahama working on two projects next year is good news no matter what though.

[From The New World] - 3
My initial reaction to this episode was rather negative because I thought it was poorly constructed but I think that's a little bit too harsh, perhaps it would be fairer to say that it was rather lazier in it's cinematography than previous episodes. I won't get into too much detail about the particular shots that I thought were lazy but perhaps I'll get around to it when I have more time. An easier thing to mention is the way scene transitions worked - there weren't any. Instead they just used the "fade to black" transition a number of times.
Anyway, setting that all aside, I find the structure of this shows episodes interesting. I am not saying that every work needs to follow this formula but generally an episode of a show tells a whole story - you have a beginning, middle and end that all wraps up neatly by the end of the episode, even in shows with an overarching storyline. From the New World doesn't follow that template, instead it feels like each episode is constructed of a series of vignettes. This also helps to explain why every episode trails off, rather than coming to a satisfying "end point" - there hasn't been much of an attempt to shape the narrative structure into a tv format, instead it feels very much like a book, which shouldn't be surprising considering that's what it's based off. I can't say for sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, but it's the kind of thing that could be problematic in the future.
Anyway, setting all that aside I still enjoyed the episode and I'm very curious to discover what we'll be learning next week.

Is it really worth getting this upset over?
wowow
more animu watanabe directs, more chance that Nobumoto comes out of hiding!
...it could happen!

Even if you ignore the grammar error, the way that sentence is constructed makes me cringe.

I seriously respect the stomach of anyone able to watch this and not throw up:
Ugliest backgrounds of all time.
Hey, I pointed out how awful the CG mansion was last week, but for some reason David Production haven't fixed it yet. I can't see how anyone with an artistic eye could let such an abomination into their work. LOOK AT IT:
Your avatar...you made the right choice
Planetes is very, very good. and Ai Tanabe is perfectly fine. she is just a staunch optimist. Its refreshing to have a character like her. You should enjoy this show a lot if you like hard sci fi.
Oh you.
NIS america releases are just fine. they had some rough beginnings but they have it going smoothly now.
I have ten releases and only 2 had any issues. One of which was just a poorly printed box cover.
Don't think that you can just walk in here and dazzle us with your FACTS!

Your hobby is a hobby for loners and manchildren.
It begins. Perfect....
Lol, I thought that was you for a second.
Remember that Toei Animation wasn't the sole responsible for that (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=36879517&postcount=14501).
Another clue; a different interview of Mr. Nagahama with the good guys at Deculture (http://www.deculture.es/2012/10/13/hiroshi-nagahama-detroit-metal-city/) make it seem like he wants to produce more OVAs of DMC, but says this depended on the interest from others he has to abide to. That uncertainty he shows about it makes appear as closer to be the one that other option of Mushishi, right?

SO FUCKING JELLY RIGHT NOWI can confirm that K-On director Naoko Yamada not only dresses kind of like Yui, she also spells in English like her too

I still think that shot that's basically a still of him midstride is the worst part of that. At least I sort of understood what they were doing when using that background as more of a set.
Yeah, it's really weird isn't it. Her dad looks like a classmate or something, and her mom looks like her younger sister. Those designs... lol.

That Q&A was the one thing I was tempted to go to if I had the money/time. Only to ask why they thought showing a film set in London in Scotland first was a good idea.
