Man, why does it seem like every time I get into an older series, it just suddenly gets a remake not too long afterwards? So weird, lol.

I'll watch because I've enjoyed what I've seen of the original anime, but I kinda hope it's similar to the OG series art-wise, because I honestly prefer it over Gosho's modern style.

never thought in my lifetime that i would see the Supreme Sword animated. the 90s version animation still holds well in today's standard. Hope Studio Wit will do a great job knowing their track record

Wait, Yaiba is actually gonna receive anime remake? I thought the chance for that is even lower than Negima!/UQ Holder! series considering the Yaiba in kinda forgotten and got overshadowed by Detective Conan and to lessen extend Magic Kaito nowadays lol.

@Yubisoft well, at least this isnt Conan but a manga that was never fully adapted. but yeah, Conan is huge there, it even has its own attraction at Universal.

Oh my, I used to watch the old anime ages ago, haha. It was fun. I might check out the new version once it gets released.

@Playcool I'm not familiar with the original anime, although I wouldn't be surprised if I've forgotten it like so many shows from my early childhood. But I always welcome such remakes of old titles.

Pure HYPE, and this is rare for me nowadays.
The OG anime aired in my country during 1999 and was a part of my childhood then, I recall recording the airing on tape, with VA from my country, much later in more recent years I watched a few episodes again.

I m very excited for this, and it came out of nowhere, again HYPE.

I was already scared, thinking that something bad had happened again. But if this is an announcement of a new anime...as I understand it, this is a new potential remake of a classic?

I m eager because this feels like a proper remake, they said they are gonna adapt all the manga, has to be that.

staff rumors are showing this will be full of sakuga so im hype

I cannot honestly rejoice after seeing the original author, Mr. Aoyama, in a documentary program about his current workload alone and his poor eating habits.

I wanted the remake to be done after the Detective Conan manga was completed, at least, since an anime adaptation would have confirmed that he would be even busier.

I remember watching the original anime when I was little and I liked it a lot (once you hear that ending song, it gets stuck inside your head forever). I'm really looking forward to the remake.
