Well think of the target age for shows like this, now think how old they would be now. How many of them would still be watching anime after that long? Starting from the start allows them to appeal to a brand new audience who never watched the series in the first place. Could also really give the manga a jump in sales as well.. maybe push it past Naruto to be the second best selling Jump title.

If this is a hit with a new generation of fans you can expect the older tanks for HxH to start selling pretty decently... and that would make the next volume break a million copies in a month... |

Was Kenshin even that popular when it was being released? Trust & Betrayal was really something else. Never watched the TV series till the end, cause the first 15 episodes bored me to death, so I ended up watching just the nice animated fights |

I want to hear the other characters talk now
^ Kenshin: I was told the anime was cut short in the last season because it wasn't popular(?) Not sure if this is true. I know the manga and anime were quite popular back in the day, both Japan and with western fans. I really enjoyed the prequel OVAs |

Thanks for uploading the trailer! Looks promising. Although the bgm sounds a tad 80s.
A news article came up and HxH was mentioned. Can anyone read this? 民放各局の十月から始まる新番組が出そろった。 長引く不況の中、テレビ東京は経済、TBSは動物と手堅く得意分野への回帰が目立つ。 一方、少子化で減少傾向にあった子ども向けアニメ枠を、日本テレビが日曜朝に新設する。 日本テレビは日曜午前十時五十五分からアニメ「HUNTER×HUNTER」をスタート。 一九九八年から週刊少年ジャンプで始まり、コミックスは累計五千五百万部を超える少年漫画の王 道。 中谷敏夫プロデューサーは「東京都の青少年健全育成条例や海賊版の横行など良いニュースがないが、地上波の テレビアニメはまだまだやれるということを具現化できれば。 試金石というより、最後の聖戦のつもりで前に進む」と強い意欲を見せる。 記事全文 http://www.tokyo-np.co.jp/article/en...302000098.html |
