| Will Deen adapt the manga with surreal visuals? Is this some kind of internal meta humor? |

@RobertBobert They handled the second half of the OG series just fine, they got this one in the bag.
| @eze_tielve Is this not the first time this franchise has appeared on screen? This is the first time I've heard about it. |
|
| I'm just hoping this'll get subbed because the fansubs for season 4 never even got finished |
| A sequel after 15 years? Incredible. |
 MOKUSHI KUSHIMO SHIMOKU KUMOSHI MOSHIKU SHIKUMO. |
| Ok, guess I’ll add it to my PTW then. Looks funny. |
