Infinite Stratos 2 - TV Anime Sequel Announced (News & Speculation, No Spoilers)
At the All Night Infinite Stratos event on 2013/04/20, it was announced that Infinite Stratos is getting a new anime entitled Infinite Stratos 2.
Here is the official site for the new anime. Original post: Overlap Bunko's campaign page showed an illustration of one of their magazines that states: New Infinite Stratos Anime Green-lit! This does not confirm that it will be a S2 nor that it will be a reboot. This is all the information we have available at the moment. New episodes will be coming. Edit: Overlap Bunko has replaced the image I linked to. Here is an earlier version with the text.

It clearly calls it out as a "TV Anime", so not just an OVA in that case. But as was said, the content is the real question. With the novels having changed publishers, it's sort of weird to do a direct sequel to the first season, which would in part generate BD/DVD sales for the old publisher (unless somehow they also got the rights to republish the old anime themselves, but that seems impossible...). Still, I'm not sure if there's much else to gain by rebooting the anime and re-covering that old ground. I guess we'll see...

Yeah, I thought of this at first too but...
I think this is right. If you recall the promo items Overlap made available at C83, they were all using the anime character designs. So, although they're not using the original illustrator for the novels, they seem to be able to use the old anime character designs.

It'd be kinda hard since the silver gospel in the anime was supposed to be unmanned. Not unless the anime team does a minor retcon saying they where misinformed or something.
Anyway I'm more interested in Kanzaki and Tetenshi than anything else. Seeing how that's done should be interesting. |
