This retro anime trend is really catching on. Another old manga getting an adaptation. It’s definitely caught my interest though, so it’s working, I guess.

The old adaption was an incomplete rushjob by Deen yet it stills looks better than this shadeless crap that plagues shounen adaptations since hxh2011. At least it seems like it will adapt everything, the later half was pretty cool. The director doesn't look bad, he worked with Ikuhara

The background was quite good. And . . . that's it, I guess. Everything else was so so.

The manga is really good. Glad it will have a remake and hope the studio won't mess this up.

A little sad that Shinkouhyou won't be voiced by Ishida Akira like the old anime. With this remake trend, I hope there will be a remake of Samurai deeper Kyo.

Too much to cover, too little time for it: bye-bye China kingdoms intrigue and adieu to 80+% of the large cast.
This is not something tailored for contemporary short series.

To be fair, he has lost certain of his voices. Just compare him as Chô Hakkai in the 2000s and now.

@vnusia It actually looks like the manga minus any shading/tone variation.

@Turtles_Hunter A fear born out of
- the juxtaposition of the "star" scene in the trailer (extracted from v.15-16) and the few bits coming from the first chapters (ch.1-9 I would say). They clearly intend to spit out elements of 2/3 of the manga in a single series,
- the time slot who doesn't seem to be one made for a long young boys adventure/fighting show but rather limited viewership short series.
edit @Turtles_Hunter Actually, the french edition also uses the chinese names. And for simplification sake, they used only one single name for each character despite them having multiple way to call themselves thanks to the chinese tradition (though Taigong's human and previous life names were mentioned too).

@Himawari9 What is the "Joka" arc?
If there had to be a second series, at least it would be alittle bit less compressed given the remaining tomes. I still don't see the value in watching something as miniaturized as this new try.

I've planned to watch it when the news first came out but after seeing the teaser i'm not so sure : the visual is too horrible. I don't know the old version nor the manga but my first impression isn't really good so i will let it go.

Well ,he is older so his voice should change a little but he's still good, like Zura in Gintama. He also voice the first seat in Shokugeki no Soma. Both of them are popular anime.

So far, I'm loving this new cast, specially KENN for Kou Tenka <3
I will miss badly Akira Ishida for Shinkouyou...
And Yozen will sound more... masculine/mature? Maybe?
Strange change for Shinjin... but I support Nobunaga Shimazaki :)

C-Station is rather new so I think having this with Yuru Camp is actually neat but worrying (edited since I looked its slated for Winter)

Staff looks pretty decent although I have a bit of a skeptical feeling towards the PV. Buuuut I'll give it a chance, since it caught my interest.

Is that something you fear or was it annouced. Because it may be like Ushio to tora, that was annoued as a 2 cour, and got 1 more for season 2, because it worked pretty well. I'm surprise they took the Wen Zhong/Taigong Wang fight for the teaser (I'm sorry, but I don't know the name in japanese, in my country they used the chinese names in the manga). But yeah, from promotionnal to teaser, it looks like that will only cover until Wen Zhong's fall.

Also, guys, the design is very close to the manga one.


You can also check wiki for the name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hoshin_Engi_characters

I also think like you. If the anime did well enough, maybe there would be a 2nd cour to cover Jyoka arc.

That's quite the 90s style preview with that gritty thumping music.
