New adaptation = all memories from old adaptation are deleted, and fans forced to watch newest adaptation. Poor souls.
This is fujoshi reality, so i'm not surprised. Some fanservice with Leinhardo and Ziegfriedo incoming.

I'm just thankful the new character designs are not drastically different from the OVA. Based on what is revealed though it seems like it will take years for them to adapt the entire series if that's ever their intention. Since the new adaptation will be 12 episodes and covering Volume 1 it will most likely end with the Battle of Amritsar as the climax (episodes 15-16 in the OVA). Lots of room to wow the audience with today graphics and might even lull newcomers with a sense of completion. But those who have already watched the OVA will have to endure even longer once again for the rest of the story. >.>

That PV was awesome. I loved the original and to see it with some updated visuals is just gravy. Are people really complaining about the character designs - of course they will reflect current anime trends (LOL what you expect).

The VAs don't feel majestic and the characters sure look pretty..bishounen.

But my main qualm is the length of the show. Compiling a 110 + 2 movies calls for disaster. If there are testing the market for a positive response, I won't blame them. But I will definately not forgive them if they leave this remake incomplete.

First announcement in a while that I'm looking forward to
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...

At the back of my mind I had the feeling that this remake was going to turn out into a complete bummer, but now after looking at the staff, character design, VA, animation, etc. I can't be more letdown than I already am "sigh".

Endride is not current anime trends. Anime industry might be bad but it is not low-budget fujobait shows level of bad yet.

The character designs in this remake are literally uninspired mess that looks as generic as it can. There's not a semblance of personality in them.

Kircheis looks like he's having a bad hair decade. Get the man some volumizers or a daily blowdry appointment stat.

So excited for this trainwreck. The originals were more than bad enough art and animation-wise but those ugly CG blobs and gakuen handsome chins bring strong competition. I wasn't a fan of the writing either and from the looks of it that's not gonna change much this time round.

JonasTheJay said:
This doesn't look half bad, to be honest. I hope this will actually be a complete adaptation of the novel.

They're going to adapt 2 or 3 books max and then let this die, provided it doesn't immediately burn up after this set of projects. I'm calling it.

So will they be adapting 1 vol of the in all those movies and tv series..... i checked up on mal and its listed that novel has 10 vol.
I want to know if that old adaptation covers the whole source material....??
cuz if thats the case i might as well watch that one rather than endlessly waiting for an incomplete adaptation...

I'm currently watching the original series, and I'm only on episode 27, but I'm completely in love with this series!!

I don't care if this is a remake or additional side story, I'm just glad I'll have more to look forward to watching after I finish the original series. So happy!

I've heard about this story, it's pretty epic. I'll take a look at the old anime and keep an eye on this anime.

I also find it curious that Mamoru Miyano is doing Ryo Horikawa's role. It's Light taking Vegeta's role, so I find it in a sense a little intriguing.

I started watching this original anime this year and I'm almost halfway through. The character designs might be a bit plain but so long as they stay true to their personalities, I won't mind.

Also, I think I might just die waiting for this to air ...

Bet this anime will get a score below 7.00 simply because cancer elitists believe their fav anime is "untouchable". For me, this looks like the proper remake I was waiting for so far, so I will give it a big chance.

LOL I thought Production I G would bring out their big guns to produce this series. But turns out, with 12 fucking episodes and 3 movies, along with the director of Kuroko no Basket and Prince of Tennis, they're probably treating this as just a side project to make some quick bucks.

As a big fan of the original show and reader of the novels, I have to say that I'm not too sure about this. How the feck do you top what Artland did? I question why they are doing this. It's not going to be a big seller and it's not the kind of story that will draw many new viewers in in 2017, unless they crank the fujjobait up to 11.

The seiyu's are ok I suppose and the character designs are pretty average but par for the course. The CG looks pretty bad though.

Well, I like how the ships and backgrounds are done, as well as the people. The main characters look a bit weird, though. The old adaptation also had character designs geared towards the female audience, by the way.

I don't know what they're planning to do with the 12 episodes + 3 movies. Hopefully they aren't planning to make some mess.

I'll probably watch it just because I'm too lazy to pick up the original. In that sense I don't mind the short length, though fans of the original will probably be disappointed. I don't really like Miyano's voice in this, and I wish they had chosen different character designs. I imagined that they'd look more like the characters from Aldnoah Zero and less like basketball players.

I'm not bitching. LOGH is one of the worst animated shows ever despite its fancy art style. Lol its so bad to look at today. I'm fine with the new approach, just hope the story gets enough time. This way of handling the budget reminds me of what is happening with Yamato these days. Slowly release films sort of like OVA format.

lol " cancer elitist " wow you must feel so good about yourself. Anyways,I am one of those cancer elitists who will actually give the show a chance. I'll admit, I'm not too fond about the character designs and CGI but I'm willing to give the show a try. I'm the same way about this for everything tbh. Citrus, one of the my favorite yuri manga is has got a anime adaptation and I'm not to fond of the art style and animation. Still though, I'm going to give it a try.

I don't like the new designs. I guess Reinhard is ok but I prefer the more detailed, charming drawings in the OVA by far. Anyways, it's only going to be 12 episodes (and another 12 episodes as movie trilogy I guess) anyways. I suppose I can stop to care. I will watch it when it airs but I'm not holding my breath anymore. What they revealed is a lot less terrible as I feared it might be but it's also a lot more underwhelming than I hoped it would be.

Well I guess I'm just going to watch the original instead. After all this time and it's only going to be 12 episodes, plus 3 films(of 4 episodes each) in 2019. If that's all they're really going to do then I see no reason to watch this before the original from the 80's.

Edit: Even if they end up doing more later, it's just too long of a wait imo.

I hate the chara design(but it was to be expected). Yang's VA doesn't fit. Also isn't yang supposed to be 30+? Why does he look like he's 18?
Will have to adapt to reinhard't new voice, but I'm not fond of it either.

Only thing that may be better are the space battles (no more blue lasers), but I'm dropping this so hard if they ruin reuenthal and mittermeyer.

And I hope mal won't change the character's pictures. Having the new faces on my profile would trigger me to no end.

I'm still quite ambivalent about this, although think I might have judged this adaptation too soon when I read the news this morning. I'm not Miyano Mamoru's biggest fan, so I was a bit disappointed (albeit not surprised) when I saw that he was given Reinhard's role. He is a good VA though, so I'll give him a chance. I do know for a fact that I dislike the character designs. They look nothing like the original and instead, more like your generic bishies.

That said, everything else looks promising so far. I understand that a lot of money is involved in this project so Production IG is taking it slow. I don't want to believe that they are going to squeeze the entire main story in 12 episodes + 3 movies though. They're probably still testing waters and are only going to cover the first few volumes. If the new anime is popular enough, they might continue covering the latter parts until they adapt the full story. At least that's what I'm hoping.

Oh my god, now that you mentioned it, I'm even more worried now. Absolutely none of them will look like their originals. :/

I don't know if I should feel hyped about this. Only having 12 episodes makes me wonder how much this will cover. I guess I should look forward to see some graphically updated pew pew battles at least.

Smells disaster. The art is very off-putting, the character designs are just ugh, and I don't like the VAs. I guess it's hard to live up to the standards of the previous adaption. It probably ended up this way due to money, in one way or another.

I'll watch it, but I highly doubt it'll be anywhere near as good as the previous adaption. Oh well.

That character design tho. lol I feel like they're Free! character, not that it's matter to me, I just find it funny. Swimming in a milky way sea, hahah hahah hahah-I'll show myself out.
