I'm also glad that there is finally a date for the second Hakuouki movie. I still have to see the first one though.

Diomedia as the studio will ensure great visuals
KanColle will be done by Diomedea? I'm almost sure it'll be just 10 episodes.
That may not be so detrimental in the sales category if it's done right, it's not so bad in this case especially if they don't follow any of the manga and novels. However, Diomedea must make sure the anime open to new viewers who haven't played the game or read the manga and novels because they may also be the new players for the games.

I'm really excited for Mekaku City Actors, and I'm not actually sure why. The art caught my attention, but I think it's mostly the sweet name and how the plot sounds like Welcome to the NHK meets some kind of scifi/action plot. Definitely one I'm keeping an eye on.
Fuck yeah, same here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
