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

The only ones I feel a reboot isn't exactly necessary for from the list are Reborn! & Berserk, personally. Considering how long the original Reborn! anime wound up going for in the first place, I just say pull an InuYasha or Bleach & make a "Final Chapter" series that simply adapts the remainder of the manga. Also, to "cut out the first 20 episodes of gag filler" would essentially remove the entire set up for Reborn! in the first place,

As for Berserk... Well, it's obviously just a reactionary "We didn't like the last anime adaptation, so just burn it all to the ground & start over!"; I just feel that any more Berserk anime should simply continue on with the manga,

Yu-Gi-Oh!. It needs a full remake starting from chapter 1 of the manga to chapter 343 with no changes that result in it becoming its own canon as shown with Yu-Gi-Oh! in 1998 and Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters in 2000. While Yu-Gi-Oh! did start at chapter 1 of the manga, it did change scenes and create its own original content (like Kaiba's Game Masters arc) that wasn't in the manga. There are only 59 chapters before Kazuki Takhashi focused on cards and they didn't adapt all of them.

As for Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, which starts on chapter 60 in episode 2 because episode 1 is a condensed episode of Kaiba meeting Yugi in chapter 9-10 along with DEATH-T, it was made to sell a card game by Konami.

This resulted in the story becoming lighter (in Japan standards) than in the manga, where death and dark scenes still remained. It was also airing at 6:30 PM. Not only that, have you ever wondered why Yami Yugi stops using the power of the puzzle after Duelist Kingdom? The aftermath of the Pegasus duel in the manga explains why, which the anime left out completely. It changed character relationships, such as Anzu not worrying or blushing at Yami Yugi every single time because she loves him to changing her to like Yugi more

and they can adapt R

Everyone who wants a reboot of Soul Eater... You'd still be let down in the end by the actual manga's ending. It has much of the problems that Fire Force that has been faithfully adapted has. Atsushi Ōkubo just isn't that great a writer is the brutal truth.

To be fair those earlier chapters of the manga were likely the result of Amano wanting the series to be different from what it became later on which rendered characters like Naito useless after the genre shift. Secondly the final two arcs of the manga aren’t that great anyway due in part to the screwed up power scaling.

Let the manga finish before we get another adaptation, yes at most it’ll be another decade or so provided Miura doesn’t pass on with no drafts as to how the story is supposed to play out. But it’ll be better than making another adaptation that has to segment the story because the manga isn’t too far along.

I know it will probably never happen because they are very old shows, but I would like remakes of Rose of Versailles and Space Pirate Captain Harlock.

RoV directed by Sayo Yamamoto...

The problem with making a Yu-Gi-Oh reboot that adapts the original manga in full is that you’d essentially be adapting the weirder parts of the manga while dropping original things like the Kaiba Corp Grand Prix which included a nice call back for Jounouchi and Sugoroku. Seto would also not show up to witness the duel between Yugi & Atem.

Card game is what kept the manga from getting cancelled and why it’s a multi media franchise. Yeah it did lead to some weird stuff like because Takahashi had to make things up as he went along but still.

Maybe it’s me but I vaguely remember Anzu in the anime likes Atem but eventually finds herself liking both Yugi and Atem.

Which weirdly brings back Atem after he moved on?

I'd like a reboot on Zatch Bell. It never did adapt the last arc.
