Expelled from Girls Band Cry?

In 2014 Toei Animation, in collaboration with Nitroplus, Kinoshita Koumuten and Graphinica studio created a CG anime movie titled Expelled from Paradise. Even though it has just 7.30 score on MAL, the movie was a BIG success in Japan: sold 55,000 DVD / BD discs and won awards.

After more than a decade, a sequel movie called Liberated from Paradise - Resonance of the Heart was unexpectedly announced by Toei for release in 2025. One can only guess whether Toei will make use of the "illustration look" CG tech of Girls Band Cry in the new movie, or stay with the "cell look" CG style proven in the original?

In my opinion, PV of the second movie hints at a heavily action-driven plot, which would benefit little from the "illustration look" tech that shines in comedy and drama (due to the large number of facial expressions, hand gestures and body micro-movements it supports).
