RE games almost always have a female and male protagonist, but the last 3 games (counting the remake of the 4th) we've had almost a full sausage party. So what's so shocking about having Grace after Winters? If you're talking about connections with previous games, then among the main characters of the 6th was the grown-up girl from the 2nd and Vesker's son, lmao.

A lot of people don't watch this because it's a little known show, it feels like a bit of an outdated battle shonen, and the MC acts like a total bully who literally forces the villain to become evil himself, even though it's presented as something brave and heroic. It's just confusing.

You are confusing the announcement date with the anime's creation date. Some shows are announced a couple of months before the premiere, when they are already fully prepared for broadcast.
