There was also an additional update (kinda?) on the status of the announced Altered Carbon anime feature:

Altered Carbon:

This anime feature, set in the same universe of the Netflix live-action sci-fi series (second season in production from Skydance Television), will explore new elements of the story mythology.

Writer: Dai Sato (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo) and Tsukasa Kondo

Animation Studio: Anima

The Netflix series is based on the 2002 novel of the same name by Richard Morgan. The series is set in a future where interstellar travel is facilitated by transferring consciousnesses (stacks) between bodies (sleeves). The story follows former U.N. elite soldier turned private investigator Takeshi Kovacs to investigate a rich man's death. There are two additional novels in the series; Broken Angels and Woken Furies.

We don't have an expected return date for the series, but we'll let you know what we hear.
