This is it. FUNimation has allowed Masaaki Yuasa the chance to properly introduce himself to the R1 world-- though, they might have already seen his work as an animator in the trip scene in ep. 9 of Samurai Champloo.
I'll be surprised if more than 10,000 people tune in for the first episode of Yojō-Han Shinwa Taikei/ Four and a half mat myth compendium/ The Tatami Galaxy, but I'm optimistic that it'll be even higher. I'll try to give my impressions of the first episode after it airs. In the meantime, remember to visit FUNimation's Video Portal, Hulu or Youtube this Thursday for a treat. In the meanwhile, there's this trailer.
EDIT: Looks like the videos are too big-- just double-click on them.
EDIT 2 (May 01, 2010): Fixed the HTML code; now the videos are just right.
