The Kevin Penkin soundtrack is good too

The pacing isn't too different I felt, it had to be a little faster to fit the new flash forward at the start, but otherwise the old show and new show end on the exact same line.

Watching 2008 ep1 again Chloe and the romantic tension with her definitely creates a different dynamic for the whole intro, there's more familiarity. there between Lawrence and Pasloe, which does heighten the dramatic tension for future events. Though I don't mind Yarei's "Yo, gently caress Holo" making Pasloe seem colder, since it creates sympathy for Holo, why she would want to leave the village, and is good reason for Lawrence to bring her along. Well it'll remain to be seen how the pacing goes along now that it can probably slow down a bit with the immediate intro out of the way

Some very nice character animation and expressions for Holo this episode. I do wish Lawrence was as expressive too, though. That's what stands out to me when comparing it to 2008.

I can't find any solid answers online-- is the remake going to be 1:1 to the original release or at some point will it incorporate more plot from the books (which I haven't read)?

I just finished the original a few days ago and I'm stoked to see this, however given the remake-ness of the remake I am unsure of whether to hold off for a while haha

I don't think there's been any official word on that, though I presume that since they used the dude in Pasloe instead of the 2008 anime original Chloe, they're gonna stick more closely to the books. Though that doesn't really matter for this first season, since there's no real differences in the old season 1 anime plot and the books. Where it will matter will be if they make a season 2, because in that case we can expect volume 4 to be adapted. This volume was skipped in the 2008 anime, so if they adapt this time it would replace the second half of season 2 and make that totally new.
