I'm happy that this series is finally continuing, but man...the new art style and lack of color just plain looks like shit. It doesn't have any of the charm the style used in the last 10 parts had.
The new artstyle isn't bad, it's just the original art style has grown on us few Heart-Throbbing fans and it'll take a few episodes to get used to this new one. I'm just glad the series is continued and the artist isn't dead.
