>Continuation of the Rozen Maiden series
Did they confirm that the new anime will be a continuation of the previous seasons, and not a manga-based remake? Where did this information come from?

Deen is animating it.

Blargh I hope the Little Busters getting animated by JC Staff like shitstorm doesn't happen with this.

I don't get why there would be/will be. The second season of the original series was almost completely anime original, and it took place years ago. Deen's adaptation should look better and will hopefully more closely follow the manga. Kirakishou is going to be in it, which is good enough for me.

Also, I get comparing Deen to KyoAni or MADHOUSE or A-1 Pictures or AIC or something, but I mean....the original Rozen Maiden was done by Nomad. Is Deen really a step down from that?

Nomad hasn't done anything since 2011 so it was unlikely they'd be on this.

Deen is just one of those studios people love to hate it seems. Personally I don't mind them doing this, as long as they get a competent staff on it and have a decent budget. Nomad hasn't done anything since 2011 so it was unlikely they'd be on this.

Not really。 They have not worked as the primary contractor for any anime production since 2011 but they have been doing subcontractor works all the time, most recently in Kotoura-san and Hakkenden. In fact they did some subcontractor work for Sankarea which was made by Deen, so it is possible their contribution will come in for this new season of Rozen Maiden.

As for Deen, I also don't understand why people hate DEEN because whatever they hate Deen for is for the stuff they did years back. Fans in Japan are more interested about what they have done recently may tell about what DEEN has become. In recent years, their focus is almost entirely in series that are aimed mainly at female audience: Hakuouki, Hakkenden, Hiiro no Kakera, Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi, and Koreha Zombie Desuka is almost like an exception. What does it tell about Deen and how it may affect its work on Rozen Maiden, which has quite a lot of female fans?

And the staff have all been changed. Instead of Matsuo Kou, we have Hatakeyama Mamori as director (who also directed Sankarea); Instead of Hanada Jukki we have Mochizuki Tomomi as series composition; Instead of Ishii Kumi, we have Sakai Kyuuta as character design (who also did char design for Sankarea and Jinrui wa Suitaishimashita). Only the seiyuu cast is not changed (not a single one).
