The December issue of Newtype Magazine confirmed that Kyoto Animation's first original production - the unfinished two episode Munto OVA series - will be getting a TV series remake titled Sora wo Miageru Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai (The World Reflected in the Eyes of a Girl Looking Up at the Heavens: one of the easiest anime titles to pronounce in a single breath). The series is scheduled to broadcast in 2009.

Newtype reports that the original OVA scriptwriter and director, Kigami Yoshiji, will be writing and directing the TV series. The OVA character designer, Aratani Tomoe, will fill the same role with the TV series as well.

KyoAni released the first Munto OVA in 2003, and its sequel in 2005. Central Park Media brought both OVAs west on DVD in 2004 and 2006.
