Zero Seiki Movie 1: Emeraldas

Currently being updated...

A continuation of my previous stack, "Anime Based on Significantly Older Manga", exclusively including remakes. The manga must have been at least 15 years old when the anime released. Organized in ascending order by length of time between manga and remake.

List is incomplete. If I am missing any big ones, let me know. Thanks to everyone who has helped me add to this list.

Second remake version: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/58981

Yoshiyuki Sadamoto is a Japanese character designer, manga artist, and one of the founding members of the Gainax anime studio.

An addendum of titles I'm interested in that are missing from other stacks. Mostly 2020s & upcoming.


Very loose definition including old franchises with frequent projects, sequels with 5+ year gap, adaptations of older Western media, new projects, etc (basically anything a fan who hasn't seen a project in ages could be excited for lol)
