New JoJo, now this, it's like I'm a teenager again.
Wow.
Looks like people in Japan have heard about the death of anime jokes and are starting to shut us up.
Damn.
I didn't expect that to get a anime consider it was boring in the beginning.
Maybe I should actually watch the first show.

I assume new sailors?
Okay, so this could be cool, and it's nice that they've got the original actors etc. But there are so many unknowns - who will be working on it, will it be a straight remake or closer to the manga etc. etc. - that I'm a bit nervous.
I guess given Toei's presence at this talk panel they'll be animating it again, and I'm not convinced they'll find people of the talent of SatoJun/Ikuhara/Igarashi to steer the show properly. While I'm not sure I just want "the old show with better animation", I'm also not sure how else to treat the material properly.

A new Sailor Moon anime?
That's big.... I guess. not a big magical girls fan, so I don't feel the hype.

News about that bad looking new Kyoto Animation show has leaked. It's basically by the KyoAni team which made the adaptation of all those Key games:
Staff:
Director: Tatsuya Ishihara
Series Composition: Jukki Hanada
Character Design/Chief Animation Director: Kazumi Ikeda
Art Director: Mutsuo Shinohara
Color design: Akiyo Takeda
...It's certainly a throwback to that 'ugly KyoAni character design' look.

I don't why you want the old VAs back. They are really old now! Like its been almost 20 years.

You've probably still got time to check out before this new one is made anyway.

Binbo 1
Was surprisingly decent. The humor did nothing for me, but I love the energy. Sakura is cute (gives off a nyaruko/lala vibe). Binbo is a bit stale, but has potential to be a cool character.
Also, sign me up for team boobs. Because it's the only team.

My first reaction to the announcements of all these anime based on works that have been popular for decades is exciting because, well, we're getting anime based off stuff that's generally really good.
On the other hand the fact that they're going back to the well of works that usedto be popular (and in many cases still are), such as Evangelion, Berserk, Jo Jo's, Sailor Moon etc, suggests that the anime industry may be becoming even more conservative than before. I find that a little troubling but I suppose it's only a problem if interesting, creative and fresh stuff no longer gets made.
You know, like if Maruyama has to go and found his own studio because Madhouse would no longer create the kinds of works he wanted to create.
And then the thing he created bombed and he came out to say that they wouldn't be able to do something like that in the future.
Or if other, up exciting studios that generally put out good work started turning to bad VN/game tie-ins.

Eureka Seven Astral Ocean 12
The complete disregard for any sense of the laws of physics stands out prominently, further robbing the series of credibility and making it seem as though everything here is poorly planned out. When such simple things are ignored everything winds up feeling incredibly contrived. Dramatics come only with the absence of any logic. The show feels even more poorly designed when the plan of attack is always the same, which leaves the action scenes in the show feeling increasingly dull and meaningless. Instead the show takes the easy way out and relies on shock value revelations seemingly for people familiar with the original series.
Main character is basically a male version of Medaka, though.

To be completely fair, it's unlikely that anybody other than people who liked E7 would be watching E7 AO anyways. It's not as if E7 needed a sequel, Bones needed the money and E7 seems to have a decently sized fanbase.

"Yes, we weren't thinking at all!" - bland childhood friend #1
Well, that would certainly explain basically the entire shows existence.
Oh well, this episode wasn't off to a good start focusing on the British chick but I doubt it could get any worse...
Oh, I wonder what this is?! Hmm, why don't we pull it and find out...
oh GOD NO
Um... yeah, she was pretty bad but I felt that... that something was still missing so I decided to switch to the Japanese audio track and re-watch some bits and...
IS THERE NO END TO JUST HOW FUCKING SHITTY THIS FUCKING FUCKY SHOW CAN POSSIBLY FUCKING GET??? FUCK FUCK FUCKITY FUCK

Summer imouto show 1
Dropped.
Fanservice show with no visible fanservice is pointless.
episode was also bland and the art is not appealing.

Yeah. If it is like the game industry all over again, where many big publisher are afraid of risking on investments for new ideas, I hope that at least more creators turn to make low-scale collaborative projects taking advantage of all these new ways to access distribution.
In fairness, you are past the worst of it by now. The last episode is actually downright competent shockingly enough, until the end at least.

I didn't watch it.
the last season had so many coming-of-age animes, so I don't have the energy for another coming of age anime at the moment
