I don't understand why so many people hate this show... I thought it was pretty fun... I'll watch the first season again and wait for the second to come.

Why do people spend money giving this (excuse me) sh*t light novel series another season? There are definitely infinite better things to do with the scarce resource: money, than to make another season of crappy IS...:( Why not give some other light novel or manga?

Wh-what? A remake? What the? Not sure what is the appropriate response for this since I never thought the IS anime was 'that bad'.

Why remake a series? Did it really do that well in sales? Though I enjoyed IS I'm sure there are plenty of better LN that have yet to even have an anime adaptation.

Well good news to me, but the new LN volume hasn't even been released.
The redrawn illustration looks kinda dark and the MC looks childish, so I wonder if the new season keeps the old art. On 2nd thought, it must be a remake.

Remakes and sequels to series you didn't think would get any. Good for IS but i pray for the day a Durarara or Baccano sequel is announced. I mean why the hell not? WHY WHY WHY?!! arghhh it's killing me!!


Because fans of moe/ecchi/harem anime like IS are either more numerous or proportionately more likely to buy the discs, whereas fans of serious anime are either less numerous or less willing to support what they like.

I'm hoping for a little more of Ichika's male friend's younger sister Ran.

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.
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.

After the reboot of the light novel... it was pretty much only a matter of time with the high BD+DVD sales (#19 top seller for anime from 2000~now is not too shabby).

I enjoyed the first season and the first 7 LN volumes, so i'm hoping it is a sequel more than a remake! xD

I heard this is a "Reboot"....if so, that's great news.

IS might have been a shitty show, with one of the most GOD AWFUL main characters, but it has an excellent cast of girls.....and that alone makes it worth while.

ESPECIALLY Charl and Laura.

Considering the high sales and how well received it was in japan it's expected, although considering the author's argument with his publisher and from what's been circulated of his lack of professionalism it's a surprise anyone's willing to work with him.

I'm hoping this latest adaption turns out well since i enjoyed this series

I'm pretty excited to be honest.. IS ended on sort of a usual harem kind of ending but it gave something to think about if you don't read the manga.
