Hiatus

Not a great deal of information on the series has come to light, though it was revealed that 26 episodes had been scheduled for production, each with a runtime of 25 minutes (not unlike its predecessor).

At 2007's Anime Central convention, ADV co-founder Matt Greenfield revealed that the series had been put on hold in an effort to try and have all of the key staff members from Tokyo 2040 reprise their respective roles and that prior commitments of said staff members were the reason for the series' delay.[3]

Fate

Due to the dissolution of ADV Films in late 2009, it is assumed by most (though, technically, never officially confirmed) that the series has been shelved indefinitely. As of this writing, none of the production materials for the show have ever been released, whatsoever.
