| OHHHH that opening is FIREEEE didnt realize that detective conan fella made this contender for favorite of the season yaiba and conan have same va lol |
  me candies:        |
| My favourite part is Minami Takayama being hired for the same role...but I guess Yaiba's idiosyncrasies can't easily matched by someone else. Also my first thought when I read about the reboot was "Onimaru will be played by Yoshimasa Hosoya?"...here he is. The animation is nice, nothing mind blowing...but maybe I am desensitised. Tho I am dropping this after a couple of episodes (was just ciriouse about the production), since I am familiar with the manga and it's a typical 80's battle/sport shounen.

| Good first episode. One critique I have is simply that the opening song just isn't very good, but that's a consistent matter of taste. I find both the opening and ending songs lack the energy of their original anime counterparts, but the ending song is deliberately going for something different. I'm more interested in seeing how this will go once the anime goes beyond the Kaguya arc, but that also probably won't be for two years or so based on Wit's scheduling lol. |
| Studio Wit and the One Punch Man crew were cooking! Now THIS is what sakuga should be like! So the casual ecchi from the past was tone down a lot for modern audiences. |
 |
| Damn, this looks really good! Wit Studio really cooking here, and the visuals with modern Tokyo is just beautiful. Action choreography is intense and the character designs give off authentic 90’s vibes, I’m sold already. Quite the rough swordsmanship Yaiba possesses, it’ll be interesting to see how he fares with opponents going forward. National champion is something else! Had to go back to the start to see whether the pink and green signified these two, but doesn’t seem like it. Yaiba’s first exposure to city life, lol - it was hilarious all round. And first time seeing girls too. Pops definitely shared good advice, lmao. Solid Op and ED as well. If this is what the One Piece is going to look like, I’m beyond excited now. |

| One of the strongest premieres I have seen in a while. Visually arresting, with an immediately charming cast and great music. I'm locked in for 2 cours! And from what I understand, Wit is committed to completely adapting the manga after this? |
| Damn, I knew nothing about the story or the remake and this premiere episode totally blew me away. This might be the best anime this season if it keeps up like that, Hopefully it gets the recognition it deserves. I've heard the staff is extremely stacked for this anime and the result is that the art and animation is so breathtaking. This episode reminded me of the good old Shounen days, Introducing us to the main bad guy in episode 1 haha. |
 |
| God, I love the animation. It really reminds me of early Conan, as well as Aoyama's earlier, more round artstyle compared to his sharp artstyle of today. |
| That animation was fantastic! The little dude is annoying AF though. I'm not going to watch this one seasonally. I was not really into the comedy in this episode, but I could see the charm growing on me eventually. Glad it was a good start for everyone excited about the series. I might come back to it once it finishes airing, but I can already tell it is something I would fall behind on while it airs. I tend to enjoy Shounen like these more if I watch them in marathon sessions. |
 |
| I kind of like it, but Yaiba is annoying AF, I guess that is part of his charm? |
| The first episode was absolute fire! I really hope they keep this quality. |
| This episode was much better than I expected. The comedy was really good, and the animation, visual effects, and fight scenes were incredibly well made. It feels like they didn’t change the soul of the original and gave it a fresh, polished look. I really liked the opening and ending. They were amazing. If the series keeps up this level of quality, we’re definitely going to watch something special. (That Instagram detail at the end? Haha, no detail ever escapes my eye.)  |

@Dan_ALves It will have 13 episodes.
| @Tobirama-Sensei No, this gonna have 24 episodes. https://x.com/SugoiLITE/status/1888743017470972294 |
| The animation is insanely good. A taxi from Narita to Tokyo? Pfft 🤣 Yaiba is very Goku-ish having never seen a girl before, spending his early life hunting and fighting wild animals. Calling everyone around him a gorilla or baboon 😆 Sayaka lying to scare Yaiba away from school will just make him want to go and fight all these worthy opponents. And, finds one, Onimaru who manages to beat him. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| I literally don't understand how nobody is talking about this show. Beautiful animation, beautiful style, hilarious jokes, amazing sound tracks. Is it just because it "looks" old? |
| The art is unbelievable. |

| Honestly the amount of still frames is insanely impressive. Throughout the WHOLE episode there were so few still frames that it was crazy. Like they even INTENTIONALLY animated stuff into the background and such at times to make still frames used for directing NOT still. Most of that overview of the city about 6 mins in could've been entirely still, especially the cars in the far distance, and yet they animated it anyways, good production this is. |
| I like to watch some anime, I like to talk about some anime, I dislike wars over some anime, but more than anything I love to live my life, anime is an enjoyable and entertaining addition onto my life but it's not my whole life. |
| Jesus fucking christ the animation |
| Kid Goku + Ran Mori + Ranma½ = This wild AF anime. This is the second classic anime (which I haven't seen as a kid) remake that's exceeding all my expectations and absolutely grabbing my attention and giving me, me the 90s kid, 90s/childhood anime feel and nostalgia. ABSOLUTELY GONNA WATCH THE SHIT OUT OF THIS. Best animation so far this season and probably this year. Bro's already a sexual offender and he thought he could take on One Punch Strike Man. |

| This feels so, SO old... despite the fancy animation. Feels much older than the Ranma remake, somehow. Speaking of, yeah, basically the same set-up too. The jazz during the gorilla fight was an interesting choice, and it turns out they got Yutaka "Great Pretender" Yamada for music. I hope this becomes a decent substitute for Ranma this season. Yaiba is a bit obnoxious... |
| this was pretty hype on the animation ...it being Wit makes sense ...everything feels of the era for better or worse so i will grit my teeth with the antics for seeing cool fights |
 |
| Can someone tell me whether or not to give this one a shot? Have not ever touched the original one or ever seen something from it, but am kinda intrigued by this remake |
Reply to Mackyreels
@FlareChain yeah pls keep watching, this remake will improve the plot and the animation staff is stacked. The team is like one punch man season 1 all the best animators are on here and chief animation director is kameda(he animated almost all the best fight scenes on Fullmetall alchemist Brotherhood)
| @Mackyreels oh pardon! I meant that I havent watched the first episode yet and merely wanted to inform myself, whether or not the show is actually pretty good, as I see in the comments here, that a lot of folks are driven by nostalgia, which I dont have, since I havent ever touched the original - plus, I love wit, so I was just curious (: |
