New franchise development?

Lol who asked for this after the dumpster fire that was season 2?

@Namoonriver I don't know how popular it was in Japan when it aired, but it looks like they're trying to revive it as a franchise now.

@RobertBobert - It was very popular in Japan and continues to have a dedicated fanbase! I'm happy to see they're revisiting it and hope they'll give us some more content for the time period between the two seasons. It probably took this long because it wasn't very famous and came from a pretty small studio.

@Namoonriver (and anyone else on the same train):
I typically avoid comment sections for this anime because it's my favorite and I know most people hated it, but since it seems the series might get picked up again, I feel like I should rep Karice's series of articles (links below). I liked both seasons already but their articles really helped bridge the gap and explain a lot of the reasons that the show was so well-liked in Japan but so hated in the west (translation issues, bad/missing promotional materials that were integral to set the tone for the series, etc.), and also explained a lot of the underlying philosophy that informs the series' storyline. If you liked the show at all I urge you to give them a look and consider giving the show a second chance! It's not perfect by any means, but I think it deserves better than the western fandom has been treating it. :<

It finally clicks - specifically relating to s01e12, leading into season 2
The main problem with Aldnoah.Zero - about translation errors
Aldnoah.Zero through an international relations lens - key points for the storyline, and talking about the missing promotional materials in the west

Lol this does look like a way to build a continuing franchise depending on the movie reception and the follow-up BD release the eventual month. Since Aldnoah 2 ended, Aoki has been making originals with various interesting writers, will be such a shame to see him stay involved in just one thing.

The new episode is titled "24.5", so it's not changing anything of the original just doubling down on the original direction the story progressed and the aftermath.

@ComposerLOST Apparently it's not popular enough if it became deader than disco after the second season finale. Well, let's see how they are going to change this.

@RobertBobert Yeah it is pretty wild to bring it back a decade later but who knows how the anime industry works haha

@Etherius_ZS What was he doing all this time? I haven't heard of him since ReCreators and Bloom into you.

@RobertBobert
Id Invaded
Overtake

and he has been boarding episodes of few shows helmed by people he is quite close to like Ikariya, Katou and Shuu Watanabe.

Bloom Into You wasn't him btw

@Etherius_ZS Really? It seemed to me that he was the director. I didn’t know about Overtake, but Invisible seemed like a pretty old show to me.

@ComposerLOST Well, if it really improves the franchise, then I'm all for it. Especially if a positive example of this opens the way to other "fixes" for previously tainted franchises.

@RobertBobert Definitely the better use of the remake/reimagining trend that's been going on for awhile!

who is gonna watch this shit in this recession, who even remembers this shit. 30+ yr old shutin manchildren who still watch anime all night? Season2 was like Western and Kdrama TV season twos, just fillers and garbage to create a "franchise"

@tokomata why are you throwing stones about age when you’re in a glass house yourself?

@RobertBobert feel the gacha game hidding in the shadow.

Was a good anime i liked it but never seen it as a potential franchise as the story already covered everything we needed to know about the world and even got a final.

Making it as a franchise seem like a bad idea as they are risking to kill a nice anime.

@Noegusis I lived my life. My kid graduated and I have nothing much to do at home. Even so I'm not watching anime or doing weeb things all day

@tokomata people like me, i remembered it 10 years after first watch. For some reason. There's other anime I've completely forgot about, but distinctly remember about A/Z. Maybe it's just godly soundtrack that grabbed me, the power of Sawano Drop, so to say.

@RobertBobert You being here posting about it after our last discussion but alright I can ignore that and I can respect you disliking it. So to not harm your own sanity it's for better if you dont pin your hope nor get invested in A/Z. This anime is for mecha autist not ppl as you really, it wasnt dead it waited after Armored Core 6(AC6) release that's how mecha works so play AC6 if you intent to understand and stay in mecha. Or else better leave.

@ComposerLOST you are absolutely right! I was on japanese trailers and shorts, theres literally 0 negative comments about AZ the worst they felt was little bad about ending but saying it was irrelevant. This is why anime should only be for japanese market first as they know better. Japan definitely waited until AC6 released.

@tokomata me I watched it when I was 13-14, in first place most ppl that watched it were kids too so who tf is 30+ year dude ? Japanese adults liked AZ/okay with sequel so why would western adults start puberty A/Z hate bandwagon that we kids did in anime like A/Z?

@Destined321 I don't think trying to assume that I don't know or like a genre just because I have a different opinion about a show in that genre than you obviously doesn't make this debate any better. You really need to stop basing your discussions with other people on jumping to conclusions, labels and generalizations.

@RobertBobert you may not like the assumptions but I didn't assume or say you don't like genre or mecha. I said you shouldnt hurt your own sanity and hurt sanity of fans here liking AZ, as you will be negative towards this series. You personally don't like it better leave it, it will just increase hate for AZ and annoy ppl that personally like it. We can be peaceful in our own fence that all it meant.

@dragoncapsule505 bvro if you dont like it just ignore and leave it, mecha is not for everyone maybe slice of life is your home. Be happy instead of caring for anything annoying.

@Destined321 Have I ever said anywhere that I don’t like this series in the first place?

@RobertBobert its alright if you dont remember if you know you are coming disappointed there's no reason to be like many here. Also my replies are cloned twice for some reason. You won't like it really japanese first rule of mecha is liking robots and machines as their YT comments on gundam/aldnoah show, characters 2nd. It's tiresome to see aldnoah disappointment restarted decade later.

@ComposerLOST Thank you for these links! I remember liking s1 and disliking s2, and now I have a better idea why that was. I assume I watched the CR version back in the day.

so it's purely compilation or there's more newer story in the movie ? idk after finished season 2 many years ago, i still kinda hoping there's another route where's the MC and the Princess ended up together lmao

Typical retarded thread of overthinking some media existence, when it's a popular show with dedeicated fanbase and in the immediate sense is promoting the BD re-release

@Destined321 Just because I agree that the Season 2 finale was disappointing doesn't mean I don't love the show as a whole. I first learned about it years after the broadcast and already knew most of the spoilers in advance.

@RobertBobert that's not the problem, the problem is this show was mecha p*rn for ppl that care less about character relations more about the designs, cool movement, normally leaning little L-R sideways epic poses etc it's long list. Most importantly it's math-physics science using show, so you or if not you majority of ppl didn't get how insanely hard the mc turned the tide of war. You can see toxic ppl here so for me it's better to dissude ppl from caring in hatred

@Destined321 You sound like people who justify shitty kids' content by saying "it's for kids, so quality isn't that important."
