The wait is a bit longer, but the show is doing numbers for Amazon, and they did the preproduction work, so more was expected. Now if only they get a new English dub studio.

I'm surprised it won't keep going during the summer, considering the opening shows Kenshiro's brothers, who have yet to get introduced. I've been appreciating this remake simply because it's more faithful to the manga and it doesn't tone down the gore, but I doubt it will keep running long enough to cover the post-Kaioh arcs that never got animated.

I wouldn't be surprised if they stop at Kaioh like the 1984 Anime. He is the last major antagonist.

Think people need to understand that a show charting in "anime TV shows" on a service that's minuscule compared to the likes of CR for anime is not "doing numbers"

Yeah, while Prime Video isn’t an anime destination (yet, they’re investing in it more), it currently has 200 million subscribers to Crunchyroll’s 21 million. Calling Prime Video minuscule is not accurate.

The reboot's directorial and animation issues are only half the problem, even if it's a big one to have in a visual medium. Taking every panel and word of a heavily dated and formulaic 80s manga as biblical canon ain´t it and S1 ends on chapter 38, the Rao arc ends with 136.
