| "rectangular smear frame yaiba doesn't exist" yaiba:  |
| Ore wa Kurogane Yaiba, meitantei da samurai da! After 30 years I can't shake off seeing Conan in Kurogane Yaiba character. Still happy to see a revival of the Yaiba series. |
 |
| I never saw the original anime, the remake looks pretty good so far I especially like Conan author's style and it works well on a shounen battle anime, I don't really know where this is going though but we'll see, the Tokyo landscapes look great so far and Yaiba seems strong, even though the bald guy is even stronger. |
 |
| Dang, that was actually a ton of fun! Just some good old fashioned, classic shounen anime fun, backed by top tier production. OP was a blast too, gunna love this one! |
| After the announcement of this remake I tried to watch the original anime but didn't like it at all but this one looks soo good not only the animation but also the overall direction and the characters looks far more interesting. I like the fact that Wit is taking creative liberty in its story telling, they rearranging or changing certain scenes which felt out of place or awkward in original series. |

@Ravarae So far, so good, I'd say yes! Especially as WIT is in charge of it.
| @Tobirama-Sensei alright then, lets see how this goes 🥳 |

@Ravarae yes its a remake and adaptation of an 80s manga. Worth watching and it will get more serious later on
| @Mackyreels have you watched the old version? How long is the series?? |

| Never read the manga, but as a big fan of Detective Conan, decided to watch it. Animation was actually amazing, Wit studio did such an amazing job with it! |
| This one was already on my watchlist, and if I’m not mistaken, it’s also by the same author as Detective Conan, Kaito, and Lupin. Super solid debut, just like the trailer promised — and on top of that, the production quality is clearly above average. I didn’t watch the original, but I was really curious to check out this remake. It has that classic 80/90s shounen vibe, which is a big plus! But only 10k members on MAL is really low |
| For a while I had been going on an off about watching the original Yaiba anime run. It was from before I was born so as a kid I hadn't heard much about it other than it was decent enough for the time. Then the remake got an announcement so I decided to wait for it in order to get a veredict. Good thing I did so. Yaiba is so full of action and energy in this single that it really takes a concept from that time and translates it to modern day. Unlike the Urusei Yatsura remake that leeft me a first impression characters constantly shouting this one has less of that and more snapping frames with angular and spiky characters going at each other. It's charaming in its execution even if I think the opening went very fast and it sets the goal of samurai quite early on. Oh, and while it has some quirks from 1993 I can let them pass so long as nothing major comes to light. Well, it's still the first episode but it hooked me quite well. |

| Loving it, this awesome passionate production that I haven't seen from Wit studio since Ousama Ranking |
| It's very similar to Ranma 1/2 and that's a good thing because I like Ranma 1/2 a lot. |
 |
| The start of this show was hilarious—getting shipped from the jungle in a banana container to a city airport in Japan! Little Yaiba has never seen the world outside the jungle, and now he’s got the chance to experience city life. I’m not surprised Sayaka is the first girl he’s ever seen—it totally makes sense given how he was raised. The anime looks promising, and I’m sure it’ll get more and more interesting with each new episode. |
   |
| Classic Kameda. Super cool animation. This is Kameda's passion project, so I have been looking forward to it for a while now, and I'm liking it so far. Yaiba is cool and an airhead. Many funny moments were there in the first episode. Sayaka is super adorable. Looking forward to more of her. Basically, what a 90s show would feel like, it felt like that. It was very enjoyable. |
 |
| Best animation of the season so far. Really enjoyed this one, super fun and goofy. Can't wait to see more! |
| it deservers more people watching it for sure. hope this draws more people. |

| 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. Mari_Marx said: the same author as Detective Conan, Kaito, and Lupin Lupin III is made by Monkey Punch (let his soul rest in piece!) not Gosho Aoyama. |

| 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. |
