| The new poster seems to have nothing to do with the original show. At first I thought it was some kind of new yuri bait mahou shoujo. |
 |
| Well that's surprising. Whatever will they remake next? I will be watching the original just as soon as I can find it with Japanese audio. |

| I've had it on my PTW list for quite a while for at least over a year, maybe two, but it's yet another series I've been unable to watch due to being unable to find a version available online with Japanese audio and English subtitles, as the users above also mentioned. It would be crazy if I'm never able to locate a version which has English subtitling (if it's even something which currently exists and is publicly available anywhere) and end up ultimately watching the Chinese remake version before the Japanese original. |

Lucifrost said: Oh, really? That's the first time I've ever either encountered the version you're referring to or even heard about its existence, for whatever reason.

Lucifrost said: For some reason the websites that I was using never had that version available - at least at the time in those instances that I checked them for it. Still though, unfortunately, I feel like for me, as a non-Francophone, watching it in French with English subtitles really isn't anymore appealing than watching it English dubbed (which would also be undesirable).

| Lunlun is blond, wtf am I see a brunette in the key art? Tencent, oh god no. Japan? Stop giving your anime to bad actors like Tencent and Bilibili; it is bad for the medium in the long run. |

| @WatchTillTandava I don't mind watching anime dubbed into my native language. But I can think of no reason to watch a language I don't understand when it's not the original. |

| The character's design have really suffered some changes, im aware design trends have changed in 40 years but with the uniqueness of the older designs these look a little underwhelming. It's too early to say anything, but I will miss the charm of their original looks (╥﹏╥) The girl on the left seems to be Togenishia, with the thorns on the background I'm sure it's her. I don't understand the need for red hair and red everything to tell she's the villain. Lunlun's bright hair is gone, but I can see her hairpin and bright outfit in the background. Their wands look very out of place. You can see they are holding the "rainbow flower" too, it's the only resemblance of the original show I see. It's too early to form a concrete opinion though, I just hope it's a good girly anime those are really unusual nowdays. I'm watching the Spanish dub as there's no better option. |
Lucifrost said: Yeah, the second part is me for the most part. I prefer to watch everything in its original language regardless of the medium and regardless of whichever language that is. For the first part, I don't even like to watch English dubbing as a native Anglophone since, besides that original language factor mentioned, having that native receptiveness to it ingrained in the brain, it just almost always sounds unbearably lamely acted, forced, and corny to me. @WatchTillTandava I don't mind watching anime dubbed into my native language. But I can think of no reason to watch a language I don't understand when it's not the original. I think I would mind a little less watching something in a language which was not the original if it matched the setting. I did watch a few episodes of Tanoshii Muumin Ikka, which were available in Finnish, in Finnish. And I thought at the time that I enjoyed it well enough and wouldn't have minded watching the whole series that way, because it felt "fitting" enough since the setting is fictional but based on the rural Finnish countryside, or, at most removed, Scandinavian countryside, and it's originally based on a children's picture book series from Finland (albeit written in Swedish). |
WatchTillTandava said: Then you're in luck; Lunlun is a French girl.I think I would mind a little less watching something in a language which was not the original if it matched the setting. |
