First season was amazing, can't wait to watch. I hope it's good.

I'm interpreting that "more faithful adaptation" line to mean that they're not even gonna try with a serial B-plot like the first season did. For the best, definitely. I know it turned a lot of people off, and even for people like me who adored it, I wouldn't want anyone who wasn't Matsumoto attempting something like that.

Not over here, but it's been doing gangbusters in Japan.

Was there enough complaints about Kekkai Sensen's original run that there going to do a REBOOT? This what it sounds like verses a season 2. Which annoys me little. I enjoyed hell out of the series, but this doesn't sound like new matertial. It's a correction to the story we've already seen....am i wrong?

Ohh, don't worry, that's absolutely not what's happening. The teaser vid listed the manga chapters they were adapting, and they were all ones the first season skipped over or after their adaptation run concluded. No repeats.

I can't wait to see more of BBB animated but I'd rather Dark Horse get off their butts and continue the manga releases.

Great news. Matsumoto is a hack.
"Lol lets completely write out the whole main cast and focus on a boring albino wife and a nonsense villain"

Glad to see at least a release month and that it will follow the manga. I really want to see everyone's backstories.

If it's going to stay faithful to the manga, it will have to be even more "chaotic" and "uncohesive" than the first season.

They weren't boring. They were the most interesting characters in the whole show.

Seriously. I can understand how that serial arc might not be for everyone if you need your shounen action pure and uncut, but I loved that shift from the calamitous chaos to the domestic "when the dust settles", a tremendous slow-burn mystery, and some top-notch character drama. Makes the whole conceit of a supernaturally-overrun NYC more fleshed out and complete a vision.
But again, I get that it's not for everyone, but at least be fair—serial arc or no, the adaptation was gorgeous, slick as hell and executed phenomenally for source material that has a tendency to get ambitious and visually confusing. A lot of good directors would've choked. "Hack" is just invalidly hyperbolic. (Also, no one was "written out". Some characters were left underutilized as the episodes that focused on them were shaved off, yes, but probably had more to do with getting the last of the main cast introduced before the finale.)

Agreed, they did a fantastic job. That strength of that original story, plus the return of the main cast of Libra who will hopefully be further fleshed out with the show continuing, is truly one of the reasons I can't wait for this to be back. The combination of all of the first season's elements got me hooked on the show.

Personally I'd say it's just fine here too. I think there's a lot of hype for this finally getting more episodes here as well.
Also, Funi and Toonami should really get the first season (and this upcoming one) on TV. It'd be perfect for the block.
There's actually a good number of shows I'd really like to see find their way onto Toonami now, this, AoT and BE S2, MHA, Psycho-Pass, etc.
