Doupo Cangqiong has always ever had one big issue, and that's the 3d model of characters changing with each season. It's not that they were chà bu duō quality by any means, but it gets hard to keep track of who's who if they change so much. This is the sort of stuff that keeps me from recommending it to anyone. For instance:
They have the same... chin? I guess?

He just looks way cooler now. Which is also a pun.

Furthermore there's also an excessive shift in the vibes from s1 to s2, partly due to the much improved quality of the textures and animations. It's almost like the production misunderstood the target age for the first season.

But then, everything changed when the fire nation attacked. A s1 remake is nothing short than the best thing this title can get, as they already know how the models will look like from s3 onwards, and can adjust them to fit the timeline. The visual kei already looks perfect, so I'd even go as far as to wish for a s2 remake because why not.

weird, if they have money to remake a entire season why not just make sequel or make another anime.

art evolution is something seen in many anime

Among chinese works, Qin's Moon is well known for that.

To me the decision sorta makes sense. Fixing the early issues enables all the sequels, whereas if they kept going they would have to rely mostly on already loyal viewers.

Besides, they didn't really choose between the two options, they went for both. The sequel has also been announced for 2022. My guess is because they already have all the resources from s3+ the production of a remake isn't gonna cost a lot.

I hope they also do this for Kingdom😅😅
S1 and S2 was brutal, otherwise it would be as hyped up as KNY, AOT or Vinland Saga

Glad for this. The animation in first season is a thing that will put off many, MANY new potencial fans. Better correct that and then continue.
It's not like Douluo Dalu etc. that one still had decent and consistent animation. This one is just painful so good to fix it

it's weird. the art style was good in season. but the actual animation (walking, talking, etc) was a little choppy and awkward. it was noticeably off

What you say makes sense, if it weren't for the fact that Yao Chen has already been changed for the remake compared to ALL the seasons xD

I remember when I started season 2. It took me a few episodes to realize it was the same anime as season 1... ^_^

I actually liked season one, it wasn't great but i got used to it.
Season two was similarly good, but the changes were brutal.

The reason why there are making this remake is that the original season one has a really bad reputation in China. Some of you guys might think the quality of s1 is acceptable, but for an adaptation of one of the most popular fantasy novels in China, its quality, character design and the changes in the story were just not what the people were expecting. I personally don't like s1 either, I'm very glad they are making this remake.

I actually liked season one.
The change in characters style in the following series was probably better, but, i had no problems with the original.
