| just like i had posted before |

| What a weird move, to make a sequel adaptation after decades for a now super-outdated anime. I was expecting a reboot, it would definitely bring many new fans for the franchise. At least the KV looks pretty cool and the studio/staff is competent, I guess. |
| So my favorite studio Production I.G. is going to be doing the Musculeman remake. I've heard about Muscleman back in the day, but I don't remember watching a single episode. I know Production I.G. has a lot on their plate right now, but I hope they didn't forget about finishing the rest of the LOGH remake. |

| let me introduce gen z to more childhood cringe goodness so i guess this is more about his dad, so a prequel to what we got in the west |
|
| I thought that it will be a remake. Anyway, good news that it will be a sequel. |
 |
| Oh, I see now. The manga is still on-going (apparently it came back after decades of dormancy?), so it's just adapting the newer chapters/arcs from where Toei had left off. Interesting that it's no longer Toei, though, but hopefully that just means the quality is up to par. |
