Oh? That's not too expected. Pretty nice to see it still alive, though that may be the nostalgia talking.

Don't forget the remake of Black Rock Shooter.

It's not a remake, it's a completely different story. It's not meant to subsume or replace the preceding anime in any way, just as that was not meant to replace the game's canon nor was the manga meant to replace either.

But it's still a continuation of the classic content.

Are you saying it's been so many years in production hell just for 8 episodes?

8 episodes in total are kind of a disappointment. At least, make it to be a full cour of 12 episodes.
So, I hope it will be a good one.

Well, I'm not as big of a KC fan as Azur Lane, but I hope it's at least closer to the game and more quality than it could be after this amount of time.
