Am i the only one who thought straight away when this was announced that it was gonna be I.G. ?
I'm so happy it is in fact them. Cannot wait. And I say why its gonna be 2017 is because they may make it a longrunner, or maybe wait until Xebec and WIT finish projects and do a joint Production |

Artland wasn't an animation production studio of the franchise. They only worked on some eps as subcontractor. The main studio behind Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu was currently defunct (although they are still working as talent agency) Kitty Film.

Actually nope. Madhouse and Artland worked on alot of it, then Madhouse left and Kity Film took their place. Artland were the only studio involved in it the whole way through |

I'm both excited and scared about this remake.
One thng for sure: new staff and cast have a VERY difficult task. I especially don't envy composer, though. It's hard to compete with guys like Mozart, Bach, Beethoven Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Chopin, Dvořák, etc. |

Damn I cant wait for more details about this.
I found this line confusing "the new anime is not a remake of the earlier anime, but another anime adaptation of the original novels with a new staff." so it is not a remake but another adaptation? That means they will change the story from the previous anime? or will do a continuation from where it ended? |

Kitty Film wasn't really an animation studio; they were more like GENCO, a production company that hired animation studios for their projects. Here you can see a detailed list of LOGH episodes and the animation studios who worked on it (under the 制作協力 credit): LOGH Japanese Wikipedia page You can see that Madhouse and Artland were majorly responsible for Part 1. Then Madhouse left the project and Artland and Magic Bus continued until the end. It is interesting to see that Shaft joined the project in Part 4. |

I'll need to wait for which studio it is because that's the make it or break it.
The original adaption actually left out a fair amount of material from the novels, iirc, so this could be potentially an adaption of said material. It could also be going the Yamato 2199 route too. |

I think it's the staff, not the studio. I really hope that this will not get the same treatment as Arslan Senki... changing the main character's personality which then has a snowball effect, making up completely new story parts that don't fit the original characterization or even world, enlarging the role of another character for no good reason, completely effing up the pacing, and so on.
Not at all. The original adaptation was very faithful to the novel (this is why it's so long, 110 episodes only for the main story, and 52 episodes for the side stories), only adding changes like giving Dusty more screentime by replacing less important characters with him, or giving certain characters tighter focus (not mentioning Reuenthal's womanizing habits so often), etc. By the way I think most changes in the anime were for the better. |

This was SHAFT before their whole style got all weird and abstract under Shinbo and could handle more than just one style of animation and scene direction. The way they are nowadays they'd probably be a bad fit for LOGH subcontracting work. |

Well, the original adaptation made it through all of the source material, so this is clearly Production I.G. doing their own thing.
That said, Legend of the Galactic Heroes really, really needed 162 episodes plus two out of its three movies to tell its story. So far as I'm concerned, Ishiguro's adaptation is probably the most impressive feat of storytelling in Japanese animation: always gripping, thought-provoking, internally consistent (okay, yes, except for Golden Wings, nitpickers, but that wasn't Ishiguro), easy-to-follow, and often shockingly moving, there's absolutely nothing else on the same scale that forms such a perfect unity. Quality animation is always nice, but I have a really hard time imaging how production I.G. can add anything to the animated form of this splendidly operatic tale. It would be a flat-out impossibility to cover the story in anything less than fifty or sixty episodes, and that'd still involve cutting huge swaths of narrative—meaning that the best I can hope for here is a "greatest hits" compilation of the most impressive battles (Eighth Battle of Iserlohn, I'm looking at you) devoid of the political insight that made the original so great. |

One can hope that it means a full, or at least a lengthy, adaptation.
