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.

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

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.
