@Nachtwandler_21 I've become a little more motivated about battle shonens now, but when I watched the first season in the second half of the '10s, it seemed rather not my cup of tea.

So does that mean we don't need to wait 7 years again for the next season?

Mar 23, 5:37 PM by wildhood

@RobertBobert neither watched, nor read it but people are saying that the current season adapts the best manga arc.

Mar 23, 5:34 PM by Nachtwandler_21

They worded “new series” will this be a reboot or remake? I'm confused.

Mar 23, 4:05 PM by Bard_Eren

Is the sequel worth attention? I only watched the first season and had mixed feelings then.

Mar 23, 2:14 PM by RobertBobert

Can’t wait for the next installment!
