I though this was already announced earlier?
Like when? There were some hints about doing an anime when the IS franchise was rebooted with new character art and new publisher earlier this year, but that's about it. The slogan on the small pic on the marketing campaign webpage for the new LN is the first concrete evidence that there is an anime being planned. And now just any anime, but a TV series.


By the way many have asked if it is a remake or a 2nd season. One notable absence in the announcement is any mention that it is a 2nd season. But that does not mean that the new series will not continue the story in the earlier series. They can just continue the story with the new character design too. In this case, the lack of mention of a "2nd season" may be a way for Overlap, the publisher, and the author to stress their break from the previous publisher, which was behind the production and marketing of the early series. That said, of course it can also be a remake. To conclude, it is too early to tell if the new series is a remake or a continuation of the earlier series.


There was a forum about it being rebooted along with new character designs on here a couple weeks back, so I thought people already knew.

Sure, but that "reboot" was about the publishing of LNs with new character design. That news did not say anything about new anime, just the publication of LNs with new design. So my post is to point out that for a new TV series this is indeed news.
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.

That's because they aren't America and they don't feel the need to denounce it. Simple, common sense.

They also might appreciate its themes more that might make ANN and their disciples push their stupid fads.

Director is still Kikuchi Yasuhito and the Studio is still 8-bit.

Character design is now Horii Kumi (used to be Kurashima Tomoyasu)

Mecha design is still Takakura Takeshi, but now he will be joined by CHOCO, the illustrator for the new version of the LN.

Music is still Nanase Hikaru.
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?

You have precisely the same concerns as most of the fans in Japan. They all got quite worried when they heard the character design has changed, but all breathed a big sigh of relief when the PV came out.

Ha, so it's a sequel and they're actually gonna deplete the available source material.
The remaining material is enough for a season and it has a "sort of" ending for the story/arc. And most of all, the Sarashiki siblings are getting animated. I want Satou Rina to play Tatenashi. The earliest I can see this airing is Fall, Winter at worst.
Good news is good. Can't wait for the country wars to start again.

The news post should be updated with this.

Oh so that PV really shows scenes from the new season? Was worried that they just took those from the old series.

Excited for this! More Charlotte is great, more Infinite Stratos overall is even better! I'll be honest though, I'm really surprised.

While IS did have a lot of fans, it had just as many (if not more) haters. I also heard the sales were bad in Japan, not sure about the sales anywhere else though.

The fact that Infinite Stratos is getting another season puzzles me, but I'm very happy that it is!

Not sure where you heard that sales of IS were bad in Japan, but the total opposite is true: Both the Light Novel and the anime BD/DVDs sold very very very well (in fact way beyond most people's expectations).

Are you serious? The sales were bad? Infinite Stratos is one of the best selling TV anime since 2000 (19th with 33,812 average sales)... These are its sales per volume below. It's not really puzzling why it would get a another season.

I actually like the LN series, but I was abhorred to find how badly made the Anime series. Literally, the ONLY good, I repeat, the ONLY good heroine is Charl in the Anime.

The series failed to explain fundamentals of the IS, failed to explain where the feelings of the girl came from... the series just turned into a Generic Harem series with no story and badly handled scenes, will the second season be better? When I heard Re Boot, I was excited since I thought "Hey! Maybe they realized how much they fucked up the first season, and is now trying to do a redo?"

But noooo! that was the LN... well, this sucks ass

Despite the criticisms this series has recieved (and I am not hating on people for finding faults in the series, every show has them), I think that the first season was actually pretty good. It was entertaining to say the least, and I will follow this second season also, in high anticipation.

However, I also believe that this second season may potentially redeem the series, that is if the company thats doing the new character designs and such can pull it off. (Im leaving it to personal opinion here.) We will just have to wait and see I suppose ^.^;

Plus, more Charlotte cant be a bad thing ~.^
