Great news! I was worried the franchise was starting to die down.

Each of the Vertical volumes contained two of the Japanese volumes.

As far as I know, the @16 storyline is still going on, as they haven't quite caught up to the manga/anime's first scene. I would think of these new @19 novels as more of an attempt to "fill the gaps" between the @16 novels and the manga than a proper sequel.

The timeline with all the side content is confusing.

I kinda wish that the Guren Catastrophe at 16 novels got their own anime adaptation. Guren is a pretty great lead character.

Even though I love the Guren Catastrophe at 16 novels to death, I'm not sure I'd want to see them turned into an anime, simply because I'm afraid they'd end up looking like every other "persecuted student at a magical high school who secretly is more powerful than 99% of his condescending classmates" light novel adaptation. In my opinion, a major part of their appeal is that right now they feel exactly like light novel versions of the Seraph of the End anime and manga, and adapting all of that back into anime form seems like kind of a Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game move.

The only thing is that the Guren series reveals things that anime only people would have no chance of knowing and it would be a good way to help them understand the timeline of the series.

Hey it's got a manga already, why not?
Seraph of the End: Guren Ichinose: Catastrophe at Sixteen: The Animation sounds like a great title, too.
