Considering the popularity and the demographic animie generally appeals to (and I'm banking on the young fans, folks, not just us "big kids at heart" types), they could be laying the groundwork for the future of the franchise!! It would be a GREAT and cost-effective investment on Toho's part. You know, produce some toons and, following a successful run, follow up with the live action movie in about a year or two. I'd just hope they'd keep true to the roots, for the most part, and in the process re-instill the old AWE and MAGIC!
