And people were hoping for a reboot... it isn't even A-1 pictures anymore.

Though good anyways, a third season and this early too at that.

Looking pretty damn good tbh, might even look better than the first 2 seasons. Time to rewatch the anime I guess...

@Softhenic03 Does this need a reboot? As far as I remember, they already canceled some of the episodes of the first season to remove the original ending.

Not necessarily, it's just that season one went original after 17th or 18th episode, which they already compensated with then released second season, this time being faithful to the manga.

Series is already over a decade old, with inconsistencies in adaptation plus huge time gaps between the said seasons. So that's why a reboot might have been good. Though I'm fine anyways.

@TheSekiryuutei No you got that right mate. Most of the main cast were full of hypocrites and annoying characters. Specially his brother.
