Glad to see we'll get some Tea material animated, which includes some of my favourite chapters. Everyone's faces look a lot more similar than they did in the first adaptation and the LNs which is kind of disappointing. Shizu in particular looks a lot younger than he should. Still super exciting.

I hope this change in art direction doesn't imply a similar change in tone to something more jovial.

That visual looks really interesting to me and I've liked Nagi Yanagi's songs in the SNAFU openings and the ending for Black Bullet, so hopefully she can do a good job here as well. Really looking forward to this. I wonder how many episodes this will have though. Maybe they'll announce the number at a later date before the first episode premieres, I would imagine.

Interesting. Was hoping they'd get Shimokawa back but oh well, Nagi is fine too.

Ti, it's short for Tijauna.
I think Kino's look weird in this shot, but overall the designs actually resemble the novel art, so much better than the first TV series.

I hope they keep the muted colour pallet from the original TV show.

I wasn't very happy with the main key visual so I took a peek at the official website. Sure enough the character profiles are already up. These have a better feel (because of the poses, I suppose?).

I shared the same feelings, Ella. I hope the designs look better in actual animation.

Also, I like Shishou & Aibou's designs best.

Really wish Mikuni Shimokawa could have sung the OP/ED, but Nagi Yanagi has a wonderful voice as well and I'm sure she'll do a fine job. All the Way and The Beautiful World will certainly be tough to beat.

I hope so too... October's not far off so we should be seeing the first PVs in a few weeks.
Yeah, I like Aibou's design best, followed by Ti and Shishou (these are the only ones that have the 'right' feel to them for some reason... probably because we haven't seen their anime versions before?)

I have not read any Ti chapters yet. But! I know I'm down to see some Shishou chapters!
This series has a lot a lot a lot of material to work with. I'm more excited for this than I have been for any anime as far back as I can remember.

If Kelli Cousins was more active on FB (her last entry was on 1/28/17), I would have a better time getting a response by sending this to her via PM. I know that the odds are low, but if Funi could do a simuldub with her and Cynthia Martinez returning as their respective roles, a lot of people would be happy.
