Wait, wait... so for those not as in the know.... This new show takes place after the prior show's ending? Um... the little preview didn't look as... horrific as I would expect if that is the case.

That looks pretty good.

As disappointing as the cgi looks, I couldn't stop myself getting hyped from the pv. Great to see guts party finally in a series. Guess no schierke for this series though.
That does look pretty good. I'm onboard.

You guys are funny. You've simply seen more.

GOBLESS getting Susumu out of fake-retirement to do another killer song. Having Shiro Sagisu on staff also gives me hope that this is as gentle a downgrade from feature quality as possible, while still trying to retain the tone.

I'm pretty sure it's a new series, seeing as it's going to air on TV.
As for your second question, the movies and the original anime cover almost exactly the same material, although the third movie does cover a bit more of the ending (around 5 extra minutes or so). I should say that I haven't actually read much of the manga afterwards, so I don't know how much that actually matters, although it certainly seemed important. So that might be a bit confusing (assuming the new series won't recap the ending), but you certainly don't need to watch the entire movie trilogy.
Because a sketch filter has been applied to everything.

Yeeeeeesss!!
Can I jump right in to this, I've only ever seen the anime.

Imo it evokes the artstyle from the manga. Obviously overall is it still a far cry from it but I prefer it over the clean look.

the added detail and texture to the models makes it look sooooo much better now

Yeah I take it. somewhat decent CGI > the average 2d animation in anime nowadays. At least it will move.

Hahahahahahahahaha.
The things people say to try to convince themselves that this won't be terrible...

No, I think it's taking place after the movies as those already introduced Skull Knight. Plus, the '97 anime did the first part of Black Swordsman which did not feature Puck.

Probably not this season. I think the furthest we'll go is the end of the birth ceremony/conviction arc.

It must be. I don't remember it from last year's teaser.

Don't let the tone/Gut's character deter you from continuing; it gets a lot better around volume three.
It's also absolutely worth investing your time into, particularly the golden age arc.
Even if you don't think it's all that good at the very start you should keep going. The main character is very different at the very start of the manga then he is later on.
I read a few chapters after the part of the manga where the anime ends. It seems really interesting, but I am more of a anime guy than manga guy, so this actually getting another adaptation is awesome.
What? My eyes cried out in pain when watching that...
Yeah, caring about the visuals for an anime is 'nonsense'. I also think caring about a food's taste is nonsense, who eats food for the taste? Who watches anime for the style and animation quality?

Hey, maybe you put a more objective lens on it than I thought, but it seemed like many in the thread were just dismissing a perfectly valid artstyle based on seconds of footage.
I think it is due to the fact that this is still an ongoing manga from the late 80's. People have high hopes on a high quality anime because this is so beloved by many people.
I don't think people would've cared as much if it was your average low-profile series.

The only thing that doesn't look awful is this bit.
And it's because it's not CGi.
But, it is CGi.

No doubt, I'd be among those who would be horribly let down if this series I've followed for over a decade looked like shit. That said, crying that it is ruined because it is CG (as many in this thread have done) is just asinine.
The movies left me gunshy as well, but being defeatist isn't going to do anyone any good.

God damn that looks much better. I cannot wait to see this.
