This is definitely how I like to interpret it. YQ is a great manga and I was sorely disappointed when the first adaptation turned out so mediocre; it deserved quality the first time around, so hopefully this second chance will produce a genuinely good show. Having said that, I'm also surprised by this announcement; I didn't think the manga was popular enough to warrant a reboot, let alone in such short order. I guess more people shared my opinion than I realized.
Yeah, this too.

Same here. I think that's the only reason why they're doing this remake. |

Well, I think that this is great news. But I do have to agree that it's a bit odd that this particular property is the one getting a remake. There are plenty of other series that deserve remakes and haven't had them. Maybe it's because they just plain adapted it way too early.
My guess would be that the manga's popularity in Japan is probably high enough that they thought that it would be worth another go at it. It may not be a huge hit, but it could still be popular enough to make it at least look profitable to make a new series. Regardless, I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I think that this announcement is definitely great news. |

Well that would be a ridiculous move on the producers part if true. Yasuda only did illustrations for the novels, likely based on Narita's descriptions and guidance. That would just mean Yasuda can draw, not that he's creative. To give YQ a second shot it would have to be based on Yasuda's own merits, not on art work done for someone else. Of course, that doesn't mean they wont promote it as being from the character designer for Durarara!!. Emerje |

And that's perhaps one of the major reasons for doing a remake, besides the first not turning out well. On the outset, it may sound shallow and a cheap way of garnering attention, but on the other hand, it makes perfect sense from a marketing and momentum standpoint to use DRRR!!'s success to propel renewed interest in YQ (which it and its creator was directly referenced in). The remake was said to have been planned since last summer, before DRRR!! even started to roll, but knowing Tatsunoko, they have never shied away from a good marketing/merchandising opportunity, hence the announcement now. |

i believe there's an error on the article,
why would a seiyuu be working on the storyboard? isnt it suppose to be Kobayashi Hiroshi (or Hiro), not Kobayashi Yu? |

That information may actually be right, its just that there are two people in the industry sharing that name. There is Yu Kobayashi the seiyuu, as you mentioned, and then there is an animator also named Yu Kobayashi. An error report makes mention of this distinction, too. Of course, I doubt anyone would be mistakening the seiyuu's "style" of drawing for anything seen in any anime production, even the really bizarre ones...

There are two Kobayashi Yū animators (or plausibly just the one who's had their name spelt incorrectly a couple of times) Squinting at the source image for this article, it looks like 小林 優. There was some of the seiyuu's "artwork" at the back of the Negipa! fanbooks so.. yeah. |

Doesn't look to be that simple either unfortunately :/
"Hiroshi Kobayashi" is also composed of at least couple of people, neither of whom are the one working on Yozakura Quartet: The animation director for FMA: Brotherhood is 小林祐 (who also has credits mixed in under Yu Kobayashi), the colour designer for WHR is 小林敬 (who has credits mixed in with Kei Kobayashi) |
