It was announced at Sunday's Arslan Senki (TV) event, Yasashuiin! Carnival, that the series will receive a new TV anime production in 2016.

The Arslan Senki TV series is an adaptation of Hiromu Arakawa's manga rendition of the semi-historical epic Arslan Senki by Yoshiki Tanaka. The novels were previously adapted into an OVA series between 1991 and 1995. The TV series ended its two-cours run in September 2015.

Further information on the new work will be announced on the official website and Twitter account.

Good to know that. They can't leave a cliffhanger of that magnitude. I hope that it would fix some of the errors of the first season.

Not 100% confirmed yet. It mentions a new TV season though so we'll have to wait for more info in the future.

It says new TV anime, that almost sounds like a reboot, but why would they do that so soon. Although I'm not sure if that's what they usually say when they announce a second season, but why put "new" then. But since the bgm is from the series, it probably means season two. Well either way, it's nice to hear about more Arslan Senki. I enjoyed the first season.

Assuming this is a direct sequel, then I don't mind this. While I didn't find the first season of Arslan amazing, I did end up enjoying it a bit. Hopefully we don't have too many ridiculous moments like Farangis' divine protection or that one time when the horse jumped like 20 feet into the air and onto the back of a moving elephant. I hope the animation improves as well.

Also, I actually thought this announcement wouldn't come until the final episode of the new season of Nanatsu no Taizai, so it's kind of nice to see it coming much sooner than that.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Wow, that's quick. Quicker than Nanatsu no Taizai new anime announcement.

Both Hanae-san and KajiKaji tweeted that it's 2nd season / sequel:

First season was average, but I can't deny it has a lot of potential. Hopefully the studio does a better job in the animation department this time around, as more often than not episodes looked bad.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

That's alright. Arslan himself is probably the least interesting character of the series though. I hope he'll get at least some kind of characterization beyond the "Look at me I'm such a kindred spirit hurr free the slaves! Love and peace!"

This got a lot better towards the end, so I'm glad it's getting a second season.

I mean, that's kind of the point. Television examines how characters evolve over time, and for Arslan that means growing out of a childish albeit bold phase.

First season was pretty average and honestly it didn't leave much impressions on me (Arslan's general attitudes in particular made me lost patience very often), even the warfare sequences left a lot to be desired of. But it made my sunday morning enjoyable for two seasons, so whatever.

Oh and since the anime's quite caught up the manga, just abandon the manga and go adapt the novel directly.

Man...I already want it now.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

I wasn't expecting this, at least not so soon. I believe season 1 adapted material not already covered in Arakawa's manga as well so I thought they would have waited for that to get ahead. It's basically an adaptation of the novels but with Arakawa styled character designs.
