Great news, this just made my day. I'm glad they're picking up one of the series I like a lot and continuing it!

I'm not sure if I'm happy or not. It would be a chance to make something better than the original (which uses like WAY to much clichès), on the other hand they probably will go by the Standard model for harems..

I maybe watched to much harems dunno, it just seems that everything in that genre is WAY to similiar to each other.

This!

I was so pissed at the moment when I saw the long blue thing from Cecilia's IS.

Anyways, I hope it's going to be faithful to the novel. Looking forward to it.

I can't agree more.

More Charlotte?
Worth.
Hopefully its better than the original

If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list.

So does that mean they're remaking the series or is this a sequel?

I was serious, I don't remember anything good about this show. I didn't really care about it either so I don't have any reason to ignore anything. I only remember it was generic, bland and with very poor choice of voice actors. I'm not even sure if there was anything notable about character design or animation.

Yeah, you were seriously ignoring the good things X-D perhaps because you were letting your hatred towards the story to get the better of you. See only the generic (what's wrong with generic by the way?) and not the not-so-generic, see only the bland and not the not-so-bland, hear only the poor voice acting and not the good voice acting. And of course to the point you don't even care about the character design and animation, and by that point surely nothing good is left for you to remember. X=D
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Is New TV Series equal to second season? Or are they just remaking the first season?

I never said I didn't care about design and animation. I always care about technical aspects of anime. I said I didn't really care about the series itself, meaning I didn't have any expectations and that's why there's no reason for me to overlook any good parts. If there were any then by all means, help me remember...

Alot of shows is generic today and recycle ideas and characters. If you can't remember the good things of the show it simply didn't manage to outweight the generic stuff.. I kinda felt the same thing (watching it atm), while it have it's good points it keeps getting interuppted by those obvious stuff that could have been in any anime to a point that it's kinda irritating. My opinion of course, who knows maybe it ends better.

Given you said " I'm not even sure if there was anything notable about character design or animation.", what I see is you stopped caring about character design and animation as you cared more about how "generic, bland and poor voice acting" the series is. Personally I think the animation is pretty good, particularly for some of the mecha fights. They would not look out of place in a mecha anime and seeing it in a harem anime is a pleasant surprise and in fact it is considered one major reason why this show did so well in sales (among other things) and this show pretty much established the reputation of 8-bit for a studio that can do sakuga very well. Also I think its music is done well and the songs are very catchy and fitting to the theme of the anime. As for character design, it is drawn from the style used in the light novel anyway, although in general the comments were they look a bit better than the ones used in the LN.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I hope that someday the same treatment will be applied to series like Chrome Shelled Regios and Legend of the Legendary Heroes...

The problem with all those claims of "generic" is that it usually comes with people who are not fans of the genre. Because they are not into the genre, so variations that are recognized and appreciated by fans are not noticed by them, and so to them it all looks the same. And since genres like slice of life and harem have much more people who are not fans, they often get labelled "generic" simply because they stick to the convention of the genre (while varying its contents and still trying to create something new). And depending on how that "something new" is received by fans, a "generic" show can still sell or can flop -- but to those who are not fans they will find it very hard to see why one 'generic' show gets popular and why another is not because to them all those shows look the same.

Hey what do you guys think? If this appears to be a sequel, should I quickly finish off watching the first season of the anime or put it on hold if it's just going to be a remake with new character designs and wait for its airing date. Or can I just do both by watching the first version that has the old character designs then watch the remake version afterwards? This is my question.
