I'm pretty excited, the production values look really good.

The manga, although somewhat repetitive is, I liked it a lot. It's like a Dragon Ball in its beginnings and I love that. I love Aoyama's drawing style from the 90's and that the remake keeps it is amazing.

It's not getting enough hype in the west, thank goodness it will be successful in Japan (they love Gosho Aoyama).

If this was from the current Jump everyone would be losing their minds. Sad, but true.

Hope everyone who has this on their ptw like goofy villains. Since this show will have a lot of them. And it never takes itself seriously.

Don't know why there's no comedy tag. It absolutely leans heavily into the comedy department, even if it does have action and adventuring in it.
