Finally the news is on MAL, yay!

YAY for the decision to split cour, because counting the prologue (7) + spring (35) + summer (38) = 80 story parts will be divided into 12/13 episodes, it will probably adapt 6~7 story parts per episode. It's a nice enough pace.

Also YAY for Kantoku's seiyuu, Kiyoko Haikyuu and Akagami's Kiki!! Looking forward to hear Kantoku's voice~

Bless the production team, I hope this will be a great adaptation because the story deserves it! Izumi-chan deserves it!

(now I just need to wait for Tsuzurun to be approved into MAL DB)

Definitely watch Actors next season. Wave!! looks like the right anime for you, keep an eye on more updates. Also, since you refuse to watch Free!! I'd suggest giving both Dive!! and Cheer Danshi!! a try.

I'll definitely check out the shows you've mentioned, but why should I watch the next season of Actors? Will it be different from the first season?

Yeah, but I wasn't planning on watching it. I don't think I would like it.

edit: Wait, I thought you were talking about "A3," lol. I didn't realize that "Actors" was an entirely different Anime. I'll definitely check that one out.

am kinda sad the pv and key visual leave out the ACT2 charas
...i hope they aren't left out of the show

Can't be helped. They'll only appear on ACT2 aka fourth play. Lets just hope the anime is successful enough for them to continue adapting it past first plays.

(I'm still sad too because they won't adapt second and third plays, ZENMAI JIKAKEEEE (ಥ_ಥ))
