That's all off the top of my head.

To a lesser extent there’s Eureka Seven, Last Exile, Ghost in a Shell, Fullmetal Alchemist and the Universal Century Gundam Timeline.

For the record this has also been a trend in Hollywood ever since Marvel slowly took over so it wouldn't surprise me if there was a link there somewhere.

Put plainly, the link is simply that anime is growing more popular globally. They need more ways to feed that audience. It's also easy to go with things that you know worked.

Hopefully it continues, there's a few things from the 90's and 2000's that need a do over IMO.

^ Looks quite good, or at least a lot better than the Hoshin Engi remake.

Liking the style but to focus on the time Orphen was just Kililancehlo? So it will start as a prequel?

Cleao's voice sucks. It's too high-pitched and raspy. Not a nice combination.

In comparison to the first anime series, the character designs sure look different

Then again, the character designs also changed once again for the sequel series Revenge

Episode 1:

Not bad for the opening song.

Orphen has a personality that I hope I can get used to. They introduced the idea of magic and didn't hold back on some of the fighting scenes in the first episode. Cleao Everlasting is also introduced and she has a tomboyish-like personality.

Pretty much an introductory episode but it has my interest somewhat for now. I haven't seen the original series either so coming into this anime fresh.
