Dreaming Machine
During a Christmas Eve in Tokyo, three homeless people, middle-aged alcoholic Gin, former drag queen Hana, and dependent runaway girl Miyuki, discover an abandoned newborn while looking through the garbage. With only a handful of clues to the baby's identity, the three misfits search the city to find its parents.
The infamous Shounen Bat (Lil' Slugger) is terrorizing the residents of Musashino City. Flying around on his rollerblades and beating people down with a golden baseball bat, the assailant seems impossible to catch—much less understand. His first victim, the well-known yet timid character designer Tsukiko Sagi, is suspected of orchestrating the attacks. Believed only by her anthropomorphic pink stuffed animal, Maromi, Tsukiko is just one of Shounen Bat's many victims. As Shounen Bat continues his relentless assault on the town, detectives Keiichi Ikari and Mitsuhiro Maniwa begin to investigate the identity of the attacker. However, more and more people fall victim to the notorious golden bat, and news of the assailant begins circulating around the town. Paranoia starts to set in as chilling rumors spread amongst adults and children alike. Will the two detectives be able to unravel the truth behind Shounen Bat, or will the paranoia get to them first?
Development of this project was put on hold after the director and original creator, Satoshi Kon, passed away in the 24th of August, 2010, right in the midst of production. On the 11th of November, 2010, Madhouse announced that production had resumed, with the character designer, Yoshimi Itazu, taking over as the acting director. At Otakon 2011, however, the movie's producer, Masao Maruyama, revealed that production had been put on hold for financial reasons; at that point, he had also stated that he was dedicated to eventually be able to finish the film and that about 600 shots out of 1500 had been animated so far. On the 9th of August, 2013, Maruyama claimed at Otakon 2013 to be still striving to finish the project, despite the apparent inactivity.
