A Little News Regarding the Gatchaman Crowds Sequel

Hi all!
A small bit of news for the sequel to Gatchaman Crowds appeared on the Tatsunoko website.
The studio's recruitment page posted a job listing for someone to be in charge of "Animation production Progress Management." This job is essentially the person who makes certain that the various aspects of production to moving through the pipelines to those who need them in a timely, cost-effective manner to make their required deadlines, and keeps the higher ups in the production appraised of how the day-to-day operation is proceeding.
The position is a contract position for a year to a year and a half, working as part of Kenji Nakamura's main staff for the sequel to Gatchaman Crowds. The listing says that the show will be produced in 2015. Considering the time frame of the job contract, it's not unreasonable to think that they're aiming for a broadcast run during the summer of 2015.
When the series had first been announced, it was referred to as "Gatchaman Crowds Second," but the job listing refers to it as "Gatchaman Crowds 2," so the series name might have changed slightly. I still think they should call it "Gatchaman Crowds II," but maybe that's just me.
It isn't much yet, but it does indicate that they are in the early stages of pre-production on the new series. I'm sure there will be more in the months ahead!
