So this is from the same studio which was behind that dogshit BERSERK 2016/2017 adaptation.
Now the direction will probably be good since Hiroshi Hamasaki is the director, based on the PV the character design seems not bad, background art looks ok. Sound hopefully will be fine. What concerns me the most is the animation and we still don't know who are the key animator and animation director. Safe to say we all want it to be much better than its previous adaptation. The manga is heavily action focused and if the animation is downright dogshit like Berserk 2016/17 and Arslan Senki *sighs* then what is the point of having this adaptation?

Actually the dilemma from 2016/17 was mainly animated by the CG-only-Studio GEMBA and Millepensee. Lidenfilms was just overall producing the anime. But yea, I'm not a huge fan of Liden either. Their animation can look good in some parts, but overall i'd call it okayish. Still, I'm kinda excited for the anime and maybe it'll surprise us with being a good adaption.. who knows.

also worth mentioning is that the manga is a long one like 200+ chapters if i remember right and they will release this one as soon as October of this year? lol the production time for this one will be bad i can see it already so it may have a greatly animated first 4-6 episodes before the animation quality begins to drop significantly again but if they do it like split cours or how My Hero Academia and Attack on Titan have done it then there is hope

but still i remove this from my list now since im kinda disppointed at this

I am not expecting an adaptation with a high quality animation, but if the anime going to take an artisticaly direction(we can tell that part is in a good hand) and good storytelling without skiping important parts and butchering the source material, then i'll be super happy

Good point, yeah i'm worrying about this since the scheudling is kinda bad for a long term adaptation, they announce it in may and the release in october, sounds like a disaster in the way..

also im hearing the rest of the anime staff is good though so for you people that are gonna watch this then they might be hope, enough talent and time are good recipe for a good/great anime quality so maybe the talented staff of this remake can at least overcompensate for their lack of enough production time

Director: Hiroshi Hamasaki

Now that you have mentioned it, even if they went for seasonal approach, it could have turn out as somewhat ok adaptation assuming they started working on it from early 2019. But most likely they are going for long run approach. I'm losing that slightest bit of hope I had.

Seems like you people don't know shit about anime adaptations. Just to make an example vinland saga was announced in 2018 but production started at 2016. When an anime is announced it doesn't mean automatically that the production started at that time(and if that was the case that wouldn't be a good marketing choice AT ALL so studio don't risk things like that), but we'll see. Also i have faith in this project as 1) it's a reboot, there are low chances that they can fuck it up 2)Hiroshi Hamasaki as the director has ton of experience being the director of og Steins gate too.
Also it'll be most likely not a long term adaptation but a seasons split one knowing lidenfilms. And since the blade of the immortal is a big manga they might actually have better budget than the 2008 adaptation since this will cover the whole story

err One Punh Man season 2 was announced in 2016-2017 but look at it aired now in 2019 with bad animation quality

the point is production schedules this days are crap because of anime overproduction and animator shortage that leads to a lot of quality drops in animation and its rare to have an anime this days with consistent awesome animation because of that

either way im not gonna bother watching this although ye i guess too that it will be seasonal or split cours for them to have enough production time if there is any left for them that is

I suggest to go see the trailer that proved all of you wrong https://youtu.be/oCMp3YZBvwg you have a point schedule (and staff) are usually what makes an anime consistent or black clover basically but it seems to me that schedule is pretty good based on the trailer. Probably they were planning this adaptation since a long time

a trailer does not mean much especially if it only shows the first 4-6 episodes only and since the first 4-6 episodes of any anime usually have better animation because they are animated in advance before the airing date begun and then after that the next episodes tend to have animation quality drops due to production schedules tigthening up because of (little) production problems piling up and then the last episodes are animated good again, such is the life of production schedules for most anime shows this days

I hope that's not true. It took 13 episodes for the first anime to adapt the first arc only (and that is the shortest one too), cramming 30 volumes into 24 episodes would be an absolute disaster, even worse than Karakuri Circus, let's pray for that thing to not happen.

I came from looking at the PV, extremely excited from how beautiful it looks as the atmosphere fits the manga perfectly.
Then I was revealed the pacing...
200+ chapters in 24 episodes.

This one will be too faaaaaast for your liking but at least Shigurui was faithful to the source and it wasn’t actually slow that was the perfect pacing for it, the manga gives the same vibe if you’ve read it

Ok you liked it more than i did but to me it doesn't matter if it's faithful to the source material or not, watching it was a fucking slog, it tells a super simple revenge story with bland characters whose motivations are barely known that could be told in just a 90 minutes movie instead of 12 episodes, stretched out to show all those endless fight scenes with the characters staring endlessly at each other, that pretty background art with the sound of the cicadas with that static animation, and the many cases of completely gratuitous violence, it was one of the most boring anime series i have seen, and all that slow and methodical buildup just to make an incomplete ending that doesn't solve what is shown in the first episode when the two main characters are about to fight, i know the manga doesn't end there and tells a complete story but im not planning to read the manga so the story felt incomplete to me, they could at least have tried to speed up the pacing and also finish the anime in a more satisfactory manner.

.a re-telling. You have the exact same events as in the first one but told in a different manner.

Pretty much a failure. Lots of exposition were originally the viewer had to piece things together, lots of things changed for no reason, lots of artsy stuff just to mask the bad story telling, average graphics and bad acting.
