| Cool! Hopefully it's a loyal adaptation. |
| :3 |
| What the?! This is coming out from nowhere. o_O The author hasn't even a series currently in the JUMP. Qhat are they trying to sell? A new edition? Kanzenban? *_* "inspired" is the right word about the first anime. XD Though, at least, they had the japanese novel to land on their feet, had they wanted to try. I thought a "remake" was taking something original and remake it. This looks more like a second adaptation of the manga (based on a jap.novel, based on a chinese novel, inspired by historical facts). Anyway, I doubt this will be worth anything: - Fujisaki's drawings are great but aren't made at all to move. - how did they intend to cover twenty-three volumes in 13 or 26 episodes (nothing lasts longer nowadays) at the very least, I hope it triggers a new french edition in larger size, with colours from the magazine. It will be weird to watch this with the japanese names: my comics used one of their chinese names for every character (ex: Taigong Wang for Taikobô, Daji for Dakki), in order to convey the setting better. @Cain_7 Even the manga doesn't follow the original novel (who's not original, read my above reaction). It introduces a lot of anachronistic elements because the mangaka likes sci-fi. The anime is: quite ugly (and I love cellulo animation), presents a full story by covering the few early chapters then at mid-points cramming characters/events to reach an original conclusion that's somewhat reminiscent of the beginning of the end of the manga (it's logic since the story wasn't fully new). It "sacrifices" around 80% of the events, characters and doesn't even exploit all the introduced characters. Of course, the violence is highly toned down. And all the whereabouts are not entirely revealed. The manga is in a sense a typical shônen nekketsu with a very large cast (where every character ends up being useful later) and several arcs: quests, battles, ennemy territory invasion, final boss, etc. @Tenth Just keep in mind while watching that the first TV adaptation isn't representative at all of the title @Chibi_Alice It's not a sequel. They will adapt the manga, again. |

| Interesting, need to check out the anime from the 90s and maybe the manga too before then. |
 |
| lol I can't believe this got another adaptation. It felt like one of those series that would just sit there for times to come. Hopefully things take a more serious turn, like a more loyal adaptation for one thing, maybe like an FMAB-style reboot. |
| oh, what a surprise ~ i can't believe i'll get to watch taikoubou again :'D my memories abt this anime a bit blurry but i'm sure i'll recognize bou-chan |
| Hunter x Hunter 2.0? |
 |
| OMG! Am I dreaming? I must be a witch or have some kind of telepathy power to reach Japanese directors.... It was just a couple of days ago that I was listening Kou Tenka's Kaze no Tabibito and Will by the MCs and the idea came to my mind... Oooh God!! Wonderful news to start my week!!! Thank youuuu aaawww I'll see Tenka in HD... I'm dying... |
 |
| akay, that's literaly coming outa nowhere... what's next? ichigo 100% already got side story... will kenshin finnaly get his complite faithful adaptation? or even nube remake (since the sequel pretty much nobody hear, it's nice time and place)... i remember downlodaing illegally in offline book zip ripp-off... lol, what a nostalgia... |

| I am all for a bunch of unadapted shounen jumps getting modern anime adaptions, hell it'd be pretty bitching if some of them would get original final arcs for anything that got cancelled. Can you imagine if mX0 or something suddenly propped up and had an actual ending. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |

I for one would absolutely lose my shit if sesuji wo pin got an anime, they could do the whole thing in 26 episodes and for a supposedly canceled series the ending is very satisfying and climactic. I just think jump really should capitalize on some of their properties just sitting around. |

| so can someone who has read the manga and watched the 90s anime tell me if it is worth watching and does it follow the manga/novel, or does it go the original route half way through, should i bother with the 90s anime or just wait for the remake thanks. |
| Finally, Taikoubou in his gokiburi final form! |
| . |
| OMG! I am so happy that mere words cannot comprehend just how much! I've loved the original manga series for years and I am so glad that it finally is getting the anime remake that it so deserves! I remember when there was a petition going around a few years ago to get this a reboot and since it's been so long without any word I thought it wasn't gonna happen, so happy it's finally happening! Hopefully since the manga is complete they will adapt it faithfully this time. |
 |
| Wow, awesome!!! I had never thought, that this gets a new anime adaption! <3 Houshin Engi was my first manga and I still like it.

Just wait for the remake. The old Anime has an alternative route and in my opinion, I like the outcoming of the manga more. |
| Cant wait to see how they will adapt this: https://myanimelist.net/character/4661/Sibuxiang by modern standards. |
ZoroZoldyck said: Hunter x Hunter 2.0? This series was made before Hunter x Hunter |
| One of the first box sets I owned; watched it through twice and still still don't remember anything about it. Guess it does need a reboot. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| This type of thing is what anime fans dream of. Hope they don't butcher it though. |
 |
| I'm all for reboots of old series. Might be nostalgia speaking but they seemed to be less money grabbing bland shit than what is made nowadays. Get that Busou Renking and Elemental Gerad as well. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Awesome. Now the anime only needs to be faithful to the manga |
| *driool* I hope it will be full manga adaptation like it was for Fullmetal Alchemist. |
| Never watched the original, but a sequel sounds cool :D |

| Houshin Engi was one of the first manga i've ever read, so this is amazing news for me. I didn't like the first series very much so I stopped watching halfway, can't wait for this new version though! I hope it's a full faithfull adaptation to the manga. |
| Honestly, I have been waiting for it since forever. Given that now it's old anime adaption changes damn alot of the plot and it totally disappointed me who love reading it's manga. It still remains as my #1 fav manga of all time even after so many years. :') |

I just think jump really should capitalize on some of their properties just sitting around. sesuji wo pin was ranked decent, and it was sell great considering it doesn't has anime adaptation... i don't see any reason why jump axed it... if anything, the author is the one want to finishing it soon... he immedietly make new manga too afterwards... |
"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| I read the synopsis of the manga and I'm very intrigued to see this |
| Wow this series. I remember seeing an episode of it way back as a kid and could never remember the title of it. |
 |
| OMG I can't believe it. It's fantastic news and one of the best news from couple months. I can't wait for it! |
| Maybe Rurouni Kenshin still have a chance to get full remake, or Bleach to get new anime. |
 |
| Hey, I'd come across this series all the time. Nothing about it ever really urged me to give it a try though. Also apparently I've read a special chapter for it unknowingly, since it was part of an anthology. |
 |
| Oh wow, that's crazy. I didin't think it was popular enough to get a new adaption. This also reminds me that I need to continue the manga; it's been over a year since I read a volume. Hopefully they adapt the whole manga this time. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
I meant the adaption style |
|
What is adaptation style? What are you talking about? |
| Houshin Engi Gaiden will start on 21st and 22nd double issue of Weekly Young Jump magazine releasing April 26 for a short time (along with resume of Terra Formars, as it is the main topic on the article). https://natalie.mu/comic/news/278690 |
