| Will probs watch it just to see what they did to the old adaptation, even if I find short to nothing redeemable in the first preview, be it VA, art, or ost. Story will hopefully keep me from giving it a really low score, but the rest is off to a bad start as far as I'm concerned. And the worst is yet to come, with the reveal of Oberstein, Reuenthal, Mittermeyer, Trunhit(mess him up as much as you want to), Rubinsky and many others design. And i'll probably lose it when "people" will start shipping the characters. Anyway, the day they decide to seriously put the new arts as the characters' picture will be the day I'll make a collage of my favs. |

So no, they're not cramming the whole story into 25 episodes. Kinda understandable, the anime market being what it is. They're not going to just flat out announce a 100+ full episodes project right out the door. If the first season does well enough, I expect they'll continue it. Oh, I see. That's reassuring. Let's hope they don't "Berserk" it. They won't. Production ig doesn't mess around. The adaptation might not be as good as the original but it won't be as bad as the new berserk. |
| Kind of disappointed with the art style, and my only other problem is that the voiceactors aren't the same (For several reasons) since I really liked the voices of the first one. Other than that I'm hyped as fuck. I feel like the space battles have a chance to be 10x better in the new one. I feel like it could surpass the original adaptation. Keeping my hopes up high so when they inevitably do one thing not as good as the original I can be all pissed about it! |

I hope the fujoshits don't come upon this show and watch it. More would be attracted to the new version since the animation is way better. Most won't go near the old animation. And some may not even know about the original ver. Why not welcome fujoshi though?? Isn't more fans better? I've never understood the concept of "wrong kind of fans." Also, fellow fujoshi here, and I LOVE the original & like the older style better, so not all of us are that way. To be fair, you said "most" and not "all." :) |

Kittens-kun said: Wow, I didn't think people would get this fucking triggered over a single PV. I know you elitists think that any remake is trash because you suck off oldies really hard, but damn. Why don't you wait until it actually airs before deciding it is an abomination? And all the crying over character designs? Really? They're just updating them for modern audiences. Madhouse did the same thing with Parasyte, and how did that turn out? Yeah, perfectly fine. Some people even liked the anime more than the manga. I love most anime that comes out every season, but having seen the original and the gaidens to this show the designs in this PV are terrible and bland. I think they should've gotten the character designer for Psycho Pass or Ghost in the Shell it would've fit more with the atmosphere of the series. The thing with Parasyte is that the character designs actually fit with the show's tone while giving it a more modern feel. Having the KnB designer use similar drawings from a shounen/sports anime just clashes with the sci-fi/space opera tone it just does not work out too well. The designer couldn't even get neither Reinhard's or Kircheis's hairstyle right. Reinhard's is wavy and Kircheis's is very curly and here both hair styles are very straight. The animation itself is beautiful especially the battleships. I think it is kinda stupid that people are boycotting this though based on a 1 minute PV I'm still watching it I mean as long as it follows the novels or closely to the original series it will easily be AOTY. Just be thankful it isn't another Berserk guys. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
Oh I really lose my sense here. Well What ever I will watch it. |

Fanart would be nice and if they doujins are GOOD, that'd also be nice. But if girls started turning this all into something big or something, I'd have a problem. |
| woah there |
| This project looks awful in all aspects, just forget his existence and enjoy the original one. |
 |
| I knew these kinds of things would happen since they announce that there was going to be a 2017 version and it didn't dissapoint, these rage and meltdowns across the LOTGH community is gonna be hilarious to watch. This is gonna be fun, I can't wait until April |
| Well, no matter how good this season will be I will still say that the old one was better... so I won't bother much. It was impossible from the get go seeing how voice actor of my most favourite anime character of all time is already dead and I will accept no other for this role till the end of time. Now I also have to add another complain how that character looks surprisingly young. Younger than Reinhard at at! Still other than looking too young, it's not too bad, the hat is still there at least. Surprisingly though Reinhard is quite the opposite. Ever since watching DeathNote back which was my gateway to other than shounen anime, there was not a single time I complained about Mamoru taking any role and I guess he fits here. Then design-wise, Reinhard actually looks more buff-up and manly than the old one which is good I think. Getting used to new design is naturally nearly impossible but at the very least he looks like someone who went through harsh childhood and military training and went through few harsh missions on foot. Well, my only hope is that they don't butcher the series and seeing how I don't feel too bad after watching the trailer so... well done I guess. I will try to not complain too much at least till I see the first episode. Still... that Yang design though... HRHRHRHRHRHRHR! |
I actually don't mind Yang's new design and voice, it looked kinda ok to me, that gay Reinhard on the other hand.. |

Getting used to new design is naturally nearly impossible but at the very least he looks like someone who went through harsh childhood and military training and went through few harsh missions on foot. I actually dislike the new Reinhard character design. He wasn't much of a footsoldier, really, and the new character design makes him look like a generic main love interest in a generic shoujo romance, with uniform. Great conquerors he's based on were rarely noted for great strength and masculine looks, and many were actually considered to be not very manly at the time (Caesar in particular, especially at comparable age). I think this look is a failure on the part of the authors. |
| I think we should be thankful that Yang, Reinhard and Kircheis aren't voiced by girls. |

| Guys... it's NOT a remake. It's an adaptation of the novels, just like the originals were. Personally I thought this looked fantastic. I'm excited. They mostly kept the art style of the old series intact. I was worried they were going to really overdo it with a current modern moe style or something like that, but they really toned it down keeping only the minimum of modern style in it. I thought the voices fit the characters as well. And seriously, people comparing this to shoujo or yaoi art... did you seriously not watch the old series? And have you seriously not seen that much yaoi or shoujo art? I mean, damn, the art in those is WAYYY worse as far as making the male characters look way too feminine. I thought the CG actually looked really good too, considering the crappy CG anime usually has. |

| How do you expect them to sell this boring cartoon if there's no fujoshi bait in it ? |
Fujoshi Bait More Fujoshi Bait I mean, the character designs in the new adaptation are considerably less fujoshi bait than in the old one. Of course, the 80s designs were the best:  That said, compare them side by side, and you'll see the new designs are in fact closer to the 80s designs than the 90s designs. The 90s designs look far more yaoi-ish if you ask me. New design for comparison: (All you need to do is scroll up and see that yaoi-ish GIF to see the 90s version) |

| Came here to actually see how they think about the remake, Because I'm in the middle of deciding "Should I watch the original" or "Wait for the remake". And I see is a bunch of people getting triggered about a 1 minute PV. Lmao never seen people so butthurt about such slightest of things. I guess I'll wait for the remake probably cause I liked the art style of this more then the original one, But I'm so confused how they will convert 100+ episodes into 12....Guess I'll finish the 12 episodes and then move forward to the original one if they can't cover all of them. |

These are just the first 12 they are releasing which will cover a specific period of time. There's going to be movies after it, and after the movies it's anyone's guess. If it does well in Japan, they'll probably keep making the new series and adapt all of the novels like the old series did. binOsbi said: Give it a fucking chance?

| I just finished watching all the LoGH episodes and absolutely loved the series! I also look forward to this new remake(?) of the series. I'm just glad to have more LoGH to look forward to. If anything, this new series will hopefully bring some attention and new watchers to the original version of LoGH. |

moozooh said: Well, The PV didn't show any kind of instant death flags so far, so I wouldn't have a reason to boycott this like I did with Berserk 2017. If anything, I'd watch the first episode in any case to see it in action. That being said, the show walking the path of the lowest common denominator is quite evident in every respect that could be accurately gauged from the video. Character designs and voice acting are generic af; Yang's is particularly undescriptive of his personality, which is a crying shame—he's an amazing character who deserves better. Space battle visuals have been updated but their direction is still stuck somewhere in the distant past; I mean Gundams' space warfare scenes were less lethargic even in the 90s, back when shit had to be animated entirely by hand, than the all-CG scenes seen in this PV from the late 2010s—which contrasts jarringly with the revamped and highly detailed ship designs. So what sort of budgetary optimization pit did the 20–30 years of industry experience and best practices get thrown into? The old series is by no means perfect and there are more than a few aspects that in my opinion betrayed its lofty aspirations, but instead of receiving the FMA/HxH/Hellsing "let's do everything right this time" treatment it deserves (and one I originally expected from the new series), I see something that doesn't even aim as high as the original did, so I doubt it would address many of those issues... in fact I expect more new issues to arise as the result. Though, considering the times and the change in format, I'm sure pacing will be tighter in the new series, which is good because the original's was uneven and often quite weak. As long as it follows the plot of the novels exactly, it's not going to be bad. People can bitch about the art style and whatever else all they want. If this new adaptation has that plot, it's going to be good. And nothing has been said to indicate that it will have anything other than the plot of the novels. Of course, I do recognize, say, the ability of the right or wrong soundtrack to make or break a franchise. The original Star Wars, for example, could have been entirely broken had it not gone with a symphonic score and instead opted for some funky 70s music. Hopefully they stick with Mahler and others in this new adaptation. |

If this new adaptation has that plot, it's going to be good. Of course it's not that easy. It's not just the soundtrack—acting, art style/quality, and especially direction can all easily break an adaptation. Both together and on their own. It's no coincidence that people mention Berserk 2016/2017 here—it had arguably one of the best source materials out there to adapt from, and following the plot was pretty much the only thing it managed to accomplish, so by your model of expectations, it would be good as well. It definitely wasn't anywhere close to that. I'm just not seeing anything glaringly bad about the voice acting or the art style in the trailer. I think people want to hate it because it isn't exactly the same (even though the art direction is mostly the same other than the character design and the ships being CG). This likely won't get rated as highly as the first series because of that, but there's no way it will get rated as low or lower than Golden Wings. At worst, it will get a mediocre rating. But honestly I'm betting there will be few differences from the first series. |

 Please. Please kill me. Well, back on topic. Why would anyone argue about this stuff then? It doesn't matter which character designs they conceive or use in the anime. For me what matters is that it stays faithfully true to the original. I had no problem watching that 110-eps. long OVA, though with all that dialogue to process (and such as the portrayal of the "future" around that time), this anime certainly needs a damn right refresh. I just wish that they won't mess things up. |

| All of you fuckers defending this remake have not watched the original show. I can tell because you are calling the original show "yaoi fanboy shit" when, sure the art can cause images that can be taken out and hyper fucking focused on out of this fucking 110 episode series not including the prequels. Are you shitting me right now? No, fuckers, this remake is bullshit. BULLSHIT. Bullshit. Fuck off. |
