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?

Yeah, I get what you mean. Yet some of the plot would be hard to kick out that wouldn't cause a massive storm. lol Now upgrading the mecha or making it kind of less of a situation to have would be good...don't know how yuri and mecha mixed, but they made it happen back then.

Well, second season was the better of the two, I'll say that, but I do agree the first seemed slightly rushed. Plus I'd love to know what the illness was that Nagisa had. I've read so many theroies, but no one has said for certain what it was and I'd like to see that. Now on this new story of Clannad, the one where Tomoya is with the other girl, now that one might also have anime potential as a side story. It's got a whole new visual novel too. It's like their "After Story" as well.

As for fluff, well, the slice of life stuff does have some element to the storyline, yes. However, it's not all over the place like some can be. It's evened out and all. So in my mind, it can be essential, or it doesn't have to be. It depends on how it flows and creates a meaningful storyline that is needed.

Need an actual reboot:
Trigun. I love the story and the characters (obviously, look at my name) but rewatching it recently it is so late 90s in its animation and pacing, and of course eventually departs radically from the manga.

Also yes Chiibi, I am aware of that particular manga. It is the recent sequel manga, I’m more worried about because I haven’t seen an English translation of it yet.

Kare Kano, someone get on that, stat.

I consider this a blessing. The artwork for the manga is great, but it gets worse and worse as it went on.

Yes, the Gung-Ho Guns had more backstory and Knives was a lot more sympathetic in the manga, but it became more and more dragon ball-y and less and less sci-fi western. Also some characters I wish was left off rather than having more backstory. I preferred the consistency of the setting in the anime, plus it had more Meryl and Millie.

Probably not going to happen. Although Kare Karo/His & Her Circumstances is always my answer to this question too. As fun as it was, the tone of the first anime messed with the tone of the source a little too much and ended, basically, in disaster. if only someone could convince Masami Tsuda that they could produce a "Fruits Basket" type reboot that is true to the wishes and intentions of the source (while still adding value). But I'm pretty sure she has no interest in any adaptations... Although, I'm not sure she's doing anything else right now and could maybe use the exposure, work, and income.

I didn't like Bokurano's anime at all, but that happened to a bunch of manga I ended up liking like School Rumble, Monster, Gintama.

The ship has sailed for any new Trigun anime project, after apparently luke warm reception for Trigun: Badlands Rumble (wow has it really been 10 years since Trigun: Badlands Rumble?)

I would have liked to have seen a 'Trigun Maximum' re-do following the full manga story, though realistically it would probably be like Full Metal Alchemist where there'd be a solid core of the fanbase that will prefer the original over any re-make.

Nostalgia can be very potent.
