This is huge for me. Rayearth was incredibly formulative to me growing up. I do wonder what form it'll take though. The anime went off and did its own thing in the second half while the manga did its own thing for the second half as well.
I don't think either side is perfect at all but I also wouldn't really want that to change at all since both sides offer some really good ideas in the long run, especially for Hikaru in the anime's case (even if it results in First Half Hikaru and Second Half Hikaru being wildly different characters for better or worse); its just the execution's all over the place. The way it reads makes me think reboot/remake but it also reads like it could be a continuation as well. If its a remake/reboot though, I wouldn't mind them incorporating stuff from both sides of the original + some of the newer stuff they've done for Rayearth (like giving Lantis his own Mashin) The second half of the manga is incredibly straight forward and honestly kind of bland in general but it works for what it is. For the most part. spoiler[Absolutely despise the Mokona twist personally. That was a really bizarre ass pull.] The original anime on the other hand outright collapses under its own weight because of the combination of adapting a 3/4 volume series into a full year so that entire first arc is dragged out incredibly long in the process. Even the original anime stuff ends up dragging out because of the episode count. |

Obviously, this remake is a test run to see if a remake of the Iczer-One anime is viable.
Dang, these past couple days we're getting old shows revival announcements. Talk about timing! |

GO. WATCH. NOW. 
Fushigi Yûgi is epic, and what isekai should have remained instead of the MMC as self-insert in a power fantary pap. |

Rayearth was one of those important manga for me that I read growing up and I read it in high school right after getting into Cardcaptor Sakura and learning about CLAMP manga. Rayearth was perfect for me at the time because it felt like Sailor Moon but with a deeper theme to it and that twist ending to the first arc still has a major impact on me and the kinds of fantasy stories I like. I pretty much expected a reboot would happen eventually because it's CLAMP but I wasn't expecting it this suddenly. With the recent news Pierrot is doing a new magical girl anime, I have my suspicions about what studio could be adapting this.

On a list of things I never expected to see, a Magic Knight Rayearth remake is pretty high up there.
Hope this turns out well.
We did get the live-action Yu Yu Hakusho at least. I wouldn't want them to bring back Escaflowne and then CG the Guymelef's. It just wouldn't look right.
I'd rather they adapt Genbu spinoff than remake the original. |

Wait what? No f*ckin way! Magic Knight Rayearth is one of my favourites from CLAMP, I remember watching this when I was 13 and enjoyed it. Isekai shows weren't even a norm when this anime first aired.

As a Rayearth latecomer (read and watched it just a couple years ago, quickly becoming my favorite CLAMP work), I think the anime's more than fine as-is, but can see where it'd be nice to give it the Crystal treatment.
Really though, if studios are gonna revisit older titles, I'd rather see more Bastard's- giving the proper series treatment to stories that only ever got an OVA (looking at you, Battle Angel Alita and Gunsmith Cats). |

It is also possibly, a test run of a remake of Tokyo Babylon in another studio. |

I literally screamed when my friend showed me the announcement. Rayearth was the very first manga I read back in middle school and is one of my all-time favorite series. Rayearth and Ranma 1/2 are so special to me and I'm beyond ecstatic that both are getting new anime adaptations. I was really hoping both would eventually and the fact that they actually are is a dream come true.

FY Genbu Kaiden when? I am really happy for this remake especially if it means more shoujo isekai will be adapted, which would include FY Genbu Kaiden. |

With how many live action remakes there's been I feel like we're due a new anime of Hana Yori Dango as far as shojo reboots go.

The anime was a mid-90s anime, the manga was an early 90s anime. |

Fun fact: I was the one who added all the characters, and 99% pictures for Iczer titles on MAL.
