The List - 5 Anime That Need a Reboot, Now!

My main take is that I don't feel like KareKano fell apart at all. I'll agree with you that those 1 and a half episodes of recap were unnecessary, and that's about it. I liked the art in every episode, and while the beginning absolutely has more animation than everything from episode 12 onwards, I didn't feel all that detracted from the story. The final episode is one of my favorites of the show, too

I'll say this to start. Reborn has always felt like the black sheep of Jump. As some have pointed out and even the video KHR has had an impact in the anime world despite things like the story or the ending but it always feels like it never got the recognition it deserves in the anime community compared to other series especially the Big 3 during it's run. For a like a good few years while it was running it seemed like every other Jump series was always in some sort of spot light while it felt like KHR was sitting in the back burner and the western anime companies didn't help either. Viz only published 16 volumes. No dubbing company touched it during the licensing bubble days OR the licensing rebirth. Discotek literally just licensed it for home release just lat year. Think about all the other Jump series that came to the US in some way before Reborn. From Buso Rekin to Bobobo. From Jojo to Food Wars. From Eyeshield to Prince of Tennis. From Black Clover to D Gray-man. Reborn was left in the dust compared to others. A real kicker was the game Jump force where Tsuna was completely denied a roster spot.

I tend to see this from the hardcore Reborn! fanbase: A sense that this series has never been given any respect. Yes, a manga that ran for literally as many volumes as Dragon Ball, had an anime that aired for just over 200 episodes, & constantly sells merchandise like crazy gets no respect.

It's not hard to tell why Reborn! didn't become a major hit in North America. First, Viz's release stopped because it just wasn't selling, and after a point Viz decided to trim the fat with titles that weren't selling; Reborn! was far from the only Jump manga to get that fate (see: Gintama, Bastard!!, Kurohime, etc.). You can't deny that the first section of the series, though enjoyable in its own right, isn't exactly something that will instantly hook potential readers before it moves into being more of an action series. Also, if the manga bombed like it did, then why in the hell would anyone want to bother with the anime, especially when it just kept going & going & going & going.

There is so much source material they could adapt, and considering the massive success of Durarara, I think Narita's other work deserves a second chance. I would love an animated adaptation of the Alice in Jails arc. Ahh Baccano! I would love a reboot of that series. I want a proper adaptation of Drug & a The Dominos (my favourite)

Bah, the Baccano! anime is fine as it is. Really, it needs a sequel more than any sort of reboot.

Let me go " did you know gaming " mode for a little bit and Tell you why the REBORN manga didn't do well and its for the same Reason JoJo part 3 didn't do well VIZ never give REBORN a chance the translation for the manga was HORRIBLE not only did it have spelling errors, I mean reading the orginal English version is like reading google translation, but it also had lots of censorship and changed certain character's stories to the point they weren't even the same characters Ask any Reborn fan who owns the Manga THEY will tell you about " Nature Guardian" So yes Reborn fans have been done dirty Viz never give the series a chance that is A HUGE lie. IF VIZ actually cared they would have released the BUNKO versions that you know FIXES the manga's translation with actual good editing, what I'm saying is nobody is gonna buy a manga that issues with its English release right from the start, because Viz has Pigs for brains.


Edit One last thing I forgot to add but in the "Viz translation" they called Xanxus "Zanzasu" I don't know why I guess the people who translated REBORN never went to English class.

This

Almost the entire Reborn fandom boycotted Viz's translations and did not buy the manga anymore because of the blatant disrespect for the translations done. Alot of translations were wrong, and they added in weird phrases to the characters to add to the "gag" effect of it. Once it was out of its gag manga status, though, they still translated it as a gag manga. So you see the characters fighting for their lives and they are are clearly distressed but make pun comments instead of what is actually being said in Japanese...so yeah, it was just terribly horrible.

Considering the times we’re living in, Kannazuki no Miko needs a reboot more desperately than ever. I don’t think it can survive in this current social climate. Of course, I could be wrong. But I would LOVE to see a reboot of this.

Always thought they were a tad more faithful to Kannazuki no Miko's manga than some yuri stuff. It was my introduction to yuri at that. And seeing that it was only two volumes, I think I'd rather have the ending they stuck with than the manga's...since the two spoiler[were reincarnated into twin sisters who get in an incest relationship.]

I would like a sequel to No.6 though...bring Nezumi back to Shion! lol

I’m talking about the more...problematic aspects(or aspect to be more precise) of the series.
I’m talking about a KnM reboot that leans just a little more for a modern audience that won’t cause a massive Twitter/social media shitstorm. You know what I’m saying, right?
right?
