Recently, anime fans have been getting very pleasant surprises, since, for some time now, there have been several announcements of remakes of very classic works within the industry. Such is the example of works such as “Rurouni Kenshin” (Samurai X), “Urusei Yatsura”, “Ranma 1/2” and even “One Piece”, stories that are very popular in Japan, but some of them have already completed more than 30 years since their original broadcast.
Evidently, in this time, animation techniques and technology have evolved a lot, so a “remake” for these important works is a new opportunity to captivate a new younger audience and preserve their fantastic legacy for a longer time. In this context, several fans have started a very interesting discussion on Reddit where they have expressed themselves about which are those anime from the “classic era” and not so classic that they would like to have a “remake”.
These are the “OG” animes that fans would like to see remake according to Reddit fans
#1 – Dragon Ball
The original Dragon Ball anime, where Goku is still a child, was undoubtedly the most mentioned among Reddit users, as they commented that they would love to see again the epic beginning of the search for the dragon spheres. To see this Goku with the modern style of the current animation would be wonderful and would reach the audience that has only seen “Dragon Ball Z”, as well as the fact that it would be a great tribute to the career of Akira Toriyama.
#2 – Berserk
Evidently, fans of “Berserk” were also present, as several mentioned that the most representative work of the “seinen” genre should have a “remake” that would do justice to the story, but that although it was a wish of theirs, they saw it complicated due to the complexity of the drawing of the late author Kentaro Miura. Although some mentioned that the only studio capable of adapting this work in a great way would be “Ufotable”.
#3 – Slam Dunk
It has been more than 30 years since the first episode of “Slam Dunk” was aired in Japan and for that reason fans believe that this very important work of the “spokon” genre already deserves an update of the original series from the 90s. Something that would undoubtedly be very beneficial for those new fans who marveled at this work for his most recent film, “The Firs Slam Dunk” and that would be great to see the beginning of the saga with a more modern tone.
#4 – Vampire Hunter D
Not only the discussion focused on anime series, but there was also room for one or another movie, such is the case of “Vampire Hunter D” whose film adaptation was released in 1985 and whose fans think it would be very nice to see a remake of the work. Although it is worth mentioning that although it has its years, the work that was done with this work is preserved in a great way until today.
#5 – NANA
“NANA,” the classic and much-loved story of drama, romance and music, was also very much present, as several fans claimed that this story is a must-have for every ‘new and not-so-new otaku’ in the anime world, so a remake would be a great thing to see. Some fans even commented that perhaps such a project would encourage the author to continue with the story.
Of course, these were not the only anime mentioned, as series such as “Claymore”, “Gundam”, “Soul Eater”, “Gantz” among others, also had some mentions. So let us know your opinion in the comments section on what you think about seeing a remake of any of these works, but above all, what other story that Reddit users did not mention you would also like to have its “remake”.
