@Oongbuh I may have only payed attention to the spinoff getting a sequel part, I was pissed off that a stupid short spinoff got a sequel yet not the main series.

I literally spent months explaining people who thought it meant a remake that by "project restart" they meant restarting production as they had stopped after season 1 finished. Glad to see those can finally shut up.

I knew it!! I am glad it really wasn't a reboot but a new season.

So, by “restart” they meant a revival of the anime project, and not a reboot of it as a whole. Hah, funny.
