Ah ... being a major fan of the original series, I'm sort of worried about the remake now. Going by how FMA:B started out, this might end up having a similar problem at the start.
One of the strong points of the first anime that it managed to add more to the story to grant it more depth than it's manga counterpart, but if they intended to make this more faithful ... Then again, it's sort of obvious that they would go the remake route. The original series had already concluded ... twice actually, and then gone on to make the Greed Island OVA's which had an unfortunate release schedule as well, so there wasn't really room to start from that end point.

Now, YYH vs. HxH ... Honestly, while YYH has a soft spot in my heart, and the Black Chapter being a really good story, I just liked Kurapica more. It was the high point of the series at that point, both in the quality of the story and animation. YYH, for all it's good points, still had some things I though were pretty dumb (the revelation at the end of the Black Chapter arc for one) and I thought that it peaked at the Dark Tournament really, so every thing else was a step down in my eyes. As for the dark tone, I think that the show was honestly just good at handling all it's tones, from the light hearted to the touching (Gon saying he doesn't need to know who his mom is made me cry back then, and still gets me a bit teared from how powerful it was) to the serious and grim ones. I think the show generally went from being really good to really great once the focus shifted more towards Kurapica's story, but before that I thought that the more memorable moments happened to be the ones where Gon countered all the darkness of the situations he was in rather than the dark nature of them. But for all it's worth, I think YYH still has the better music.

Dammn really didn't expect this. I mean this can be good, but the original up to GI FINAL ova 1 was just great imo. Especially the TV series and OVA 1.
Yeah I also agree with Firechick. The VA's for the characters were perfect. Last edited by Haohmaru; 2011-08-01 at 19:09. |

It does make sense for a reboot as it has been like 10 years since it started and to engage younger fans, this would be the money maker. But to me it does depend on the amount of episodes they plan to have too. I really hope the original cast is still kept!

i wouldnt mind a remake, but would be pointless since the past tv series was great, not sure if they adapted everything according to the manga, but still i enjoyed it a lot, and i havent heard about any bad reception about it, so im not really expecting a reboot, maybe they just got tired of waiting for the mangaka to continue, and are going for an original story, or maybe the author wants to continue the story in the anime format, since he's having trouble doing the manga.

but considering how often the mangaka took hiatus, it isn't entirely impossible That 3 big arcs is probably worth enough for more 100 episodes (if they are planning to do long running series like One Piece, Toriko, etc2) By then the manga should be able able to move forward about 2-3 arcs (if there is no more hiatus of course LOL) and probably 3-5 more arcs should be enough to cover everything.

I'm all for this remake. I've only seen a few episodes of the original series (planning to do a marathon before the remake starts), so it'll be interesting making the comparisons come October.

Gotta post a correction. A friend informed me that I made a booboo on the credits.
Series Composition: I got lazy and used ANN to get the English readings for the names, and it looks like ANN has another screwed up entry. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ency...e.php?id=17488 http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ency...e.php?id=64265 Same guy, but the correct reading is Atsushi Maekawa. Thx bayoab. |

Hmm... usually, a reboot is done for something that's wrong, like the original Kanon anime, FMA (for that made-up ending), and Dragon Ball Z (the original show's pace is SO Sssllloooowww). So, why they reboot an already excellent (if not perfect) series? This reboot better be better than the the original, although I know it will not as fresh as when I saw it the first time.

If you actually read HxH and then read Naruto, it's easy to see. It was even easier to see when both were updating at the same time almost a decade ago. |
