The official Japanese website for the recently announced Blade of the Immortal television anime is now online with a sample image. The site also revealed that the project will run on Japan's AT-X animation satellite channel. Yoshimitsu Yamashita (Murder Princess, Samurai Champloo animation director) will design the characters that Production I.G's BeeTrain subsidiary (.hack// franchise, Noir, El Cazador de la Bruja) will animate.

QUOTE
The May issue (on sale on March 25) of Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon magazine will confirm that a television anime version of Hiroaki Samura's Blade of the Immortal manga will premiere this summer in Japan. Tomokazu Seki (Escaflowne's Van, Gungrave's Beyond the Grave) will voice the main character Manji - a rōnin swordsman condemned to immortality unless he kills a thousand evil men for all the good men he killed. Rina Satou (Negima!'s Negi, Bamboo Blade's Satori) will play Manji's fellow traveler Rin. Hirofumi Nojima (Kagehisa Anotsu), Kazuya Nakai (Taito Magatsu), Masashi Ebara (Sabato Kurui), Katsuyuki Konishi (Eikū Shizuma), Daisuke Namikawa (Araya Kawakami), Mamiko Noto (Makie), Megumi Toyoguchi (Hyakurin), Toshiyuki Morikawa (Giichi), Shinichiro Miki (Shira), and Maaya Sakamoto (Machi) complete the cast.

Mugen no Jyuunin...
Me and stormy has doubt about it tho. even before it was announced we feel that Hiroaki's style is not something that easily animated. Not to mention Mugen no Jyuunin is not your typical manga either.

Teh mangaka never wanted this to be animated, and looking at the screenshot, it does not bring out the beauty of Hiroaki's art. Shame on you

A mangaka only has 4~5 years to hold his license to a certain series. After that it goes to the publisher. and it's the publisher's decision after that what to do with the series. Thus even if the mangaka don't want it to be animated, after 4 years he cannot say anything to stop it

Srsly? Sauce?

Normal Intellectual Property laws state that the creator holds the copyrights for the rest of his life + 70 years before it goes into the freedomain unless of course he sells his work/soul to the evil publishing companies. There are variations but 5 years sounds abit short.

mango is not under intellectual property act. And I read that in an old shounen jump when Shueisha released an apology to Watsuki after he b****es to them for agreeing to make the Kenshin OVA without his consent
