Great to see LWA getting expanded! I wonder if it's gonna start fresh or continue from the movies.

Well then, talk about some unexpected good news. Good luck Trigger, hopefully you keep the simplicity and some of the production values of the original two movies which is what made them so charming and refreshing to watch.

Hype hype hype

I don't think it will get 12 episodes, since each episode will be 30 minutes long. Well, we will see

The part about 30 minutes really excites me. Hope it can capture the excitement of the first movie.

And 30 minutes per episode? That's too long for a TV series!

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Well, they failed, like, twice (Kiznaiver, That other LN crap no one talks about anymore) but they did bring back Inferno Cop in Luluco, saving desolate parts of the world so I'm confident with this one.

Kiznaiver is my least favorite from Trigger, even the shorter form anime Space Patrol Luluco is better than that garbage.

This news is EXCELLENT. With how adorable the 1st short film was and how successful the kickstarted sequel turned out, it would have been a huge wasted opportunity not to continue with the IP in some way. And what better way than with a full series??
SO EXCITED.
