Resurreting old anime, good or bad?

[King Shining Heaven]

Why not? CW does it.

[TheQuietRiversRage]

It is one of those things that happens on occasion and if it's a title I trust, I will check it out. Besides, it's nice to see a facelift to a series on occasion.

What's your opinion on old anime shows that get resurrected from the grave and given a facelift?

Have you seen any your like? Is there one you'd like to see revamped? or one you wants to stay in the grave?

Depend on how they do to it. if it is like FMA:brotherhood, then I like it.
it follow the manga more and there's the other one that has different storyline.

Hunter x Hunter (2011) I prefer the old one in term of maturity
The old one has more blood and violence, how it is suppose to be
the new one, despite the better animation, is PG-13 now... gonk
a lot of stuff's being purposely changed for younger audience

[Hop Step Instant Death]

Depends. Done right, it can be totally awesome but...
People have most likely held the old one in high value and if it would be remade the changes just might not please people.
I would've practically screamed and started hitting stuff had they remade cowboy bebop and utterly crapped it. xd

I'm a pretty big fan of Ronin Warriors and would be interested in more episodes... Only 39 episodes and 3 OVAs are not enough for this girl. I'd love to see them brought back. But there you go again, Ronin Warriors had low ratings and wasn't very popular. Seems like everyone has forgotten about it. crying

Edit: It'd be interesting to see a little sequel of Full Moon Wo Sagashite.

Dragon ball z to dragon ball z kai was a much needed improvement. the only downside is that every fanbase with too many fillers or that didn't follow the manga will beg for it over and over and over again. I just want to slap them sometimes, and tell them that every anime will not follow the manga otherwise the manga sales would go down, because moving pictures are more awesome!

I don't think Kai was much of an 'improvement' really... just a little different dialogue, voices, the intro, and a little more fillers, and a LOT of editing of the "gory" parts. The theme song is very catchy though and I have it on my mp3 player. rofl DBZ is perfect in my opinion... it doesn't need improvement. wink

The Ronin Warriors actually had more popularity here in the states than over in Japan, it was pretty popular there too don't get me wrong. They did have a season three lined up with pretty much a new cast of characters, they only kept White Blaze and Kayura, but that all fell through. I think the reasons that fell through was due to lack of funding or that they pretty much confused the hell out of the fanbasis with the plot lines of the OVA's.

I'd love a remake of it personally. I think not as many people know of it because it's 26 years old and was only aired for a very short time here on CW.

if "made into movies" counts as revival then i liked the rouroni kenshin movie and waiting for its sequel in april. it was awesome btw blaugh

Kenshinnnnnnnn I liked the live action movies but not the new ova thingies..uh...

[TheAnnoyingFox188]

Trigun and Orphan, they were the main two anime's of my childhood. I understand Orphan wasn't that popular, but both series could really do well with a facelift.

Holy cow, Orphen in this day and age could be fantastic.

Tsukihime still needs an anime.

This meme gets old. There IS a Tsukihime anime and it's not that terrible.

As for remaking anime...

I don't see a huge issue with it. I mean, it's not like no one will watch it if they remake it. As for some selections:

1. Fate Stay Night? - I don't know what they're remaking, but the last I heard there wasn't any plans of it being the Saber Route. In fact, they've already done two routes and some spin offs. Not sure where that info is coming from, but I may be behind on things.

2. DBZ Kai - Any way you look at it, DBZ mostly has nostalgia value. I don't hate it, but I have no desire to watch it.

3. Evangelion REBUILD movies - Oh boy... I find these a waste of time. The first one alone and the removal of Toji as one of the pilots is already making it crazy and eh... I just like the original version better, though I haven't read all the manga yet.

I'm sure there are tons of others that got remade, like Bubble Gum Crisis (I like Tokyo 2040, never saw the OVAs...) But as long as someone likes it, they'll make it. That's all, really.

The evangleion remakes were needed especially after what they did with the original ending to the anime. If it weren't for the remade episodes people might have just written it off. At the time it was widely known for its animation, storyline, mecha. The rebuilds are doing a good job of keeping the same elements and adding new ones. Toji as a pilot was good in the manga but claiming that being the all reason for not liking it is a bit silly. In rebuild he gets a happier ending. Sort of.

I was content with end of evangelion because I agree the ending of the original series was lacking. I don't mind the new rebuild movies, although the latest one I saw had brand new content and don't really know how to feel about it so I will hold judgement till I see them all.

The last one isn't coming out for another 2 years so it will be a huge wait. I would suggest going ahead and seeing the first 3 or the first 2 and then 3 after 4 comes out because 1& 2 connect well 3 is good but it needs 4 to really connect everything together
