 The February issue of Shounen Gangan has announced that manga Mahoujin Guru Guru will get a new TV anime adaptation. Gangan Online, which held a countdown since New Year, also announced the same news at 1 p.m today. The new cast members for Nike and Kukuri will be announced on January 21, 2017 via seventh volume of the sequel manga. Synopsis Mahoujin Guru Guru is a light-hearted series aimed at older children; it contains occasional toilet gags and some innuendo that might startle western parents. It also is a parody of early role-playing video games (RPGs), particularly turn-based games such as the Dragon Quest games. The narrator speaks in place of the dialog in such games, and this is one of the comedy elements of the show. Often role-playing videogame-style information boxes are displayed on screen with accompanying narration in the traditional RPG style. The overall goal of the main characters, Nike and Kukuri, is to defeat Giri, the ruler of the darkness. Since the anime is based on an RPG, several side quests need to be completed before they are able to locate him. (Source: Wikipedia) Mahoujin Guru Guru was drawn by Hiroyuki Etou and was serialized in Shounen Gangan between July 1992 and August 2003, with 16 compiled volumes in print. A sequel of the original series began publishing on Gangan Online in November 2012, where the seventh compiled volume will be released on January 21. The original manga was adapted into a 45-episode TV anime by Nippon Animation, which was broadcast between October 1994 and September 1995. A side-story also premiered in April 1996. It also received a 38-episode TV sequel in Spring 2000. Source: Comic Natalie |

Seems like a second sequel though. :O I haven't heard about it before... but the promise of toilet humor and RPG parody caught my interest lol. |
| Parody of RPGs from my past? I'm in. |
 |
| I really loved the original so I am looking forward to this. |
| Well that's a blast from the past |
  |
| I remember watching the first adaptation as a kid, probably it's nostalgia but i will look forward to it. |
 |
| So there is still JUSTICE left in this world! |
| Looks cute enough, will probably give it a try or maybe the older ones too. |
 |
some innuendo that might startle western parents Weird thing to have in a synopsis. Anyway, thanks to this news, I discovered something old to read watch. (obviously, there is no way to understand the manga unless I learn japanese) |
| Oh my Kira. This can't be real. The first adaptation turned into crap around halfway due to anime original arc or something. But the thing was amazing to start with. Kira kira man is the best. |
