I bet most of the cash went on this part of the opening  ngl this part of the OP's beautiful Yeah, the OP is quite good. ^^ But that scene is also copying directly from Arina's artwork so....that's why it looks good. xD I respectfully disagree on Kamichama Karin cuz I read all 7 volumes of the original manga (not counting Chu) and I thought it was actually terrible. I reread it about two years ago to see if it holds up and still really like it. xD It seems like it's one of those 'some hate it/ some love it' manga. I don't love how it went sci-fi towards the end but...I've seen worse endings. This manga has a lower rating than Tail of the Moon and I hate that one. I am disappointed in everyone who said 'I only watched Madoka' erggh |

| Interesting to see that Tokyo Mew Mew is getting a remake. Maybe another '02 rep in Full Moon can join the same pool someday and give us an adaptation that more closely follows the manga. Also give me more long-running magical girl shows that aren't just Precure, or else I will be angry grrr |

Yeah, this could definitely be cool. Rayearth did a lot of unique stuff for the genre, some of which has been replicated since then and some of which hasn’t. It would be nice for it to get a bit more exposure, if nothing else. Then again, people might be saying it copied certain aspects of Madoka Magica when it’s actually the other way around, but eh. |

TMM's fine, but I mean, I was really only wanting an adaptation for A La Mode since it never got adapted, and I actually like Berry unlike most TMM fans. But yeah, I have read Full Moon wo Sagashite somewhat recently and I did like it a lot, definitely more than I do for TMM. The best time for this kind of announcement would be next year since it'll be the series' 20th anniversary. Unfortunately, I don't have much hope for your second request. Anime ain't cheap and there's a lotta demand for the edgy shit nowadays. ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ TripleSRank said: terminador_2397 said: A Magic Knight Rayearth remake would be nice.

| I don't have much hope for Full Moon being remade; hell we didn't even get a bluray release!! Arina's sequel doujinshi really tied up the ending nicely though. I'm not sure if an anime studio can do her artwork justice...like Deen's adaptation still looks nice in some scenes but they screwed up a lot. |
|
| I would like to see "Nurse Angel Ririka SOS" continued, although the chances of that happening are pretty slim, as its toy sales were low, which caused it to end a little quicker than planned. |

Psajdak said: 90s anime used monster of the week format for most part, as well as gave characters so much filler that developed them. Indeed, the filler was actually very important overall for the 90s anime. Usagi’s character development in particular progressed so subtly that it made a big impression when it finally hit me late in SuperS just how much she had changed. That’s partly how she ended up being one of my favorite characters. It’s not only what her character became, but also how she got there. It was believable. Although I imagine I would likely enjoy Crystal, I don’t think it will ever be able to replace the 90s series for me for that reason.

Even so, I’m fairly confident that Madoka Magica would never have happened without Rayearth since Madoka stole borrowed so much from it, right down to specific story beats. |

| I'd personally say Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka. Yeah I know the anime aired just last year, but between the terrible animation on the fights, the crappy soundtrack, and the fact that they used the torture scenes (which are treated seriously in the manga) as an opportunity for fanservice was all just terrible. They need to either adapt it again and do it right, or just make it a game tbh. After reading the manga, it feels like it'd be a perfect first-person shooter if a company like Respawn made it with a movement system similar to the parkour in Titanfall as well as a magic abilities system. Also Galaxy Fraulein Yuna, I wasn't too big on the OVA since the first ep was a little too ADHD for me, but it got me interested enough in the source material (which turned out to be a trilogy of untranslated VNs, amazing) that I wouldn't mind seeing more of it. Especially since the character and suit designs are by Mika Akitaka, who created the official Gundam MS Girls line of mecha musume illustrations, and since Sunrise doesn't seem to want to do any kind of animated thing with those designs or make a mecha musume season of Love Live, Yuna is pretty much the closest I'll get to any of that. Lastly, I'm gonna cheat a bit and also say Dirty Pair. Yeah I know, they're more just space cops, but their shows were fun as hell and Flash had a transformation sequence for them so close enough. And hey, in the original novels and 2011 manga they had esper powers, so they're at least a little magical right? Fario-P said: I wasn't a huge fan of Granbelm as there were many times where it just straight-up felt like it was copying Madoka, but maybe I will try it again. But yeah, I agree, I wouldn't mind more mecha-magical-girl hybrids in the same fashion as something like Magic Knight Rayearth. I can't really speak on how similar it as to Madoka since I haven't watched it, but in the later half Granbelm takes a lot of notes from Hades Project Zeorymer and Armored Trooper VOTOMS' MCs for how Mangetsu and Shingetsu's stories respectively play out. The White Lily always reminded me of Zeorymer's design too cuz of the tall headpiece and orbs on the arms. What's also a little important to keep in mind about that show is that the creators stated in an interview that they basically wanted to show a new generation how cool 2D robots could be, so the intention was mostly to prioritize cool fights like in old OVAs (which they delivered on amazingly imo). The final episode was also jam packed with callbacks to assorted iconic Gundam moments, which was just a shot to my heart. sorry granbelm is one of those shows i go a little overboard on gushing over cuz of how overlooked it is |

That actually makes sense to me, that's a good idea! Sally the Witch already got a reboot in 1989 but I don't see why a reboot in current day wouldn't be necessary. I've thought about watching the original, but no matter how much I don't mind older anime (compared to a lot of MAL users on here), I find that this anime feels literally too old for me. I guess the 60s are my limit lmao. Technically, the 1989 anime wasn't a reboot, but supposedly a direct sequel, even though it contradicted itself a lot and acted like a reboot. That's why I suggested it get a remake, so it can actually BE a reboot and not a sequel in name only that actually cared about continuity. |
| Season 2 of Little Witch Academia! LET'S DO IT!! |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| [insert how i want a continuation of madoka rebellion] But for real? I want more Shugo Chara....it's something I watched early on when I got into anime and really loved it. Even if it was remade or something for modern audiences, I think it had a great message :') |
 |
| I only seem to like Magical Girls when in hentai so here things Id love a sequel for https://myanimelist.net/anime/10683/Tentacle_and_Witches https://myanimelist.net/anime/10770/Mahou_Shoujo_Elena https://myanimelist.net/anime/8653/Mahou_Shoujo_Isuka When it comes to Isuka though if the whole reboot or sequel isn't as good as the first 4 minutes just don't even bother honestly because Ill just be mad at wasted potential like I was after those 4 minutes |

| Sugar Sugar Rune was a fun anime up until about episode 40 where I took a break from it and haven't gone back yet... I liked the show before it started to get more serious. A reboot of this, keeping it as a lighthearted comedy Slice of Life, would be fun. |

| Well, I really liked Pretear, but the animation quality was pretty terrible, so it would be nice to see it remade. But I don't think anybody cares for Pretear, lol. And MKR, I guess?

But there are a lot of people who found Full Moon similar to Fruits Basket (which got a more direct adaptation) and I remember reading some comment on YouTube saying how Full Moon was apparently like Dora the Explorer in Japan at the time or something. (It was indeed a weird comment, but I swear it was a real comment.) I'd say a possibility for a proper Full Moon adaptation isn't all that crazy with seeing stuff like these two things. I know I would certainly be up to a re-adaptation, that's for sure. I've heard about how Deen really changed up a bunch of things... and it was airing when anime was new to digital animation, so of course it couldn't have looked as nice as it could've been had there been a couple more years to have experience with it. I heard about Arina's doujin; I didn't read it though as I don't think it's ever been scanned and translated into English. ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ Psajdak said: I think Toei should again make their own "fillerish" Sailor Moon version. IMO, while I only saw first 3 episodes of Crystal, and they were not as bad as some people say, the reason why 90s anime is so much more beloved, is because close adaptation of manga such as Sailor Moon just doesn't work well. 90s anime used monster of the week format for most part, as well as gave characters so much filler that developed them. Honestly... no. I actually disagree with you on this.  I don't think the 90s anime is so beloved for being so far away from the manga... in fact, I think most people who experienced the series through both ways and disliked the anime hated how far it strayed away from the original source (don't quote me though, I am no expert and I'm pretty sure I can't speak for everybody). Even SM creator Naoko Takeuchi was not happy with some of the 90s anime's changes—the most infamous complaint was her thoughts on the Sailor Starlights. I personally don't actually care for the 90s anime as much as I used to. I admit that the 90s anime was smoother (and more generous to most characters) on character development, but there's just way too much filler to slog through just to get to the actual plot (oh god please don't even get me started on SuperS lmao). You can literally check how much filler the 90s anime has by clicking here... I'm pretty sure anyone would have a problem with an entire TV anime literally being 50% filler and 50% actual canon. I wouldn't be surprised if anyone decides to drop the series (or even the franchise) entirely because of this, and I'm not surprised at all that there are now a couple of SM-related websites that provide filler-less episode guides. I'm pretty sure the only reason why the 90s anime is so beloved is because of the art. Even if you actually didn't mind Crystal, there's no way you can pretend that Toei didn't utterly screw up on the production of the first two arcs. There's literally an entire Tumblr blog dedicated to showcasing Sailor Moon Crystal's animation errors. It's no surprise to see why Crystal is sometimes referred to as the Dragon Ball Super of Sailor Moon. I actually don't mind Crystal and liked it enough to actually buy the Limited Editions of the first two arcs (wanted Season 3, but I cannot frickin find it... and when I do find it, I cannot afford it), but I'm not gonna pretend that Crystal came anywhere near the amazing art of the original 1992 anime. All the classic transformations are beautiful to watch through, the OPs are always a joy to see with how fluid the animation gets, the episodes with Ikuko Itoh's involvement arguably have the best visuals of the entire show... There's a reason why people keep drawing Sailor Moon in the 90s style. There's a reason why people like to use Ikuko Itoh's 90s art style in their fan art. There's a reason why this fan video recreating one of Sailor Moon Crystal's OPs in the 90s anime style exists. It's the art quality. I'm pretty sure that's the main reason for 90s Sailor Moon's beloved status. .....This is just what I think though. Everyone can feel free to agree/disagree with me and share their own thoughts on the 1992 anime if they want. ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ TripleSRank said: Fario-P said: I could actually see a remake of Rayearth happening.

I'm not calling myself an "expert" but I do tend to remember bad animation frames because they really bother me. Here's what THEM Anime Reviewers said: The animation for Pretear is also above average for TV animation. Every one of her transformation sequences is unique, and the CGI filters used for special effects aren't conspicuous. If there were any parts of the show where the designs and cel count lagged, they are not noticeable. Yep, agreed. I especially was impressed by the CG. |

You seriously expect me to, what, REWATCH THE SERIES just to go on with a stupid spat on the internet? Jesus. |

| Okay holy shit I didn't expect a real heated debate over here... I hope you guys don't mind if I butt in, all the bait/shit-talking on the MAL forums made me look forward to this kind of stuff lol Chiibi said: Keenesleyar said: >> Yeah, spare me your bullshit. ...why would I do that?

You seriously expect me to, what, REWATCH THE SERIES just to go on with a stupid spat on the internet? Jesus. Lol you don't need to do that; Google Image takes care of this in seconds? Okay first off: sorry for compiling all of these posts together; if you guys couldn't tell from the post that started this whole thread, I really like context and I like to put it all together in one place so I can look at it while I think.  also i'm a huge fan of gifs. and winnie the pooh, but who on earth can hate pooh? . . . . . no, i know someone here was gonna tell me the obvious person, let's not talk about that guy lol Okay......... *deep breath* You guys really need to be using images or YouTube videos in your posts to prove either of your points. If you don't know the BBCode for 'em, it's: [img]image URL here[/img] [yt]put the weird string of letters and numbers after the "watch?v=" part of the YouTube video URL here[/yt] But anyway... I do agree with Chiibi that the Prétear anime adaptation was decent on the art aspect; I've already mentioned how I like the background art (HAL Film Maker sure is great at backgrounds...) and there are some character shots like this that are genuinely nice to look at: And the transformation sequences actually look decent even if some of the stock footage part of them seem to be unnaturally slower (maybe less frame rate?)... But I think this is where I kinda agree with Keenesleyar on the animation not being exactly the greatest it could be. If you check out the video below, some of the clips like the aforementioned "stock footage part" and some of the attacks seem to be much slower than they should to feel more natural animation-wise. In fact, you can actually see in the video that the next time Himeno uses the Wind Sword, the animation from the first time she used it is sped up and it looks much better in terms of it looking like she really is wielding a sword. Also, the character art in episode 10 does look really weird here and there. I believe that specifically around 12:46-13:10 in the video below should further clarify what I mean with actual examples from the episode: So I agree somewhat with Keenesleyar that the animation really could have been done better and it's no Princess Tutu in that tier (just goes to show how awesome Ikuko Itoh is as an animation director, huh? :P ). Lack of budget I guess? In any case, it's a bit funny that HAL Film Maker worked on both of those anime considering how different the animation quality is. Not surprising cuz same director, but... just a bit funny. xP So yeah, basically I agree with both of you in some parts. Hope that helped resolve the conflict a bit? Maybe??? xD Idk just please don't snap like that again Keene, it got a lil scary tbh ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ Chiibi said: Fario-P said: Oh wow, that's very nice of you to contribute to the masses! How did you know enough Japanese? I studied it from classes in high school for four years but just kept at it after graduating. My level is to the point where I can read and understand a good 70% of a shoujo manga chapter. xD Oh and I've been worried about something... is it porn? XD I'm sorry, I'm interested in checking it out (cuz hey, more Arina Tanemura art! and more Full Moon!) but I don't want porn... and I've heard that a lot of doujinshi are porn...... It is not. xD I am not into translating porn lmao. There is a MerokoxIzumi one called 'Love is Melody' so avoid that. Hoshi No Yubiwa is clean and sweet. :3 That's impressive! I can only hope to get that level sometime, I still don't know a lot of kanji and I don't even think I completely memorized both hiragana and katakana yet. And that's good to hear, whew! Thanks for the heads up and thank you very much for sharing the sequel doujin for everyone else to read :) ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ ⋆ ✦ Keenesleyar said: Fario-P said: Hey, good to see another Prétear fan! I may have found the manga and the anime nearly two years ago (holy crap that long ago already??), but just know that you're not the only one who likes Junichi Sato's creative take on Snow White! ;) I'm one of the few oddballs who prefers the original manga more than the anime (yes, Prétear's one of the few exceptions with a "anime > manga" fanbase!)... but I mean come on, how could you hate this art?? But yes ahahahaha anyway... yeah I'd definitely be open to a Prétear remake. The background art and magical girl wardrobe may be beautiful, but it doesn't stop the anime from aging. Sure, good to know there are more fans around! :) Admitedly, I haven't read manga. Can't remember if I even knew there was one. Or maybe I actually read something negative about it and decided reading it is unecessary. Makes me curious to read it now. You totally should read it! The manga takes a very different direction with the story (which I really like, because it really does feel more like a Snow White story with where it goes) and I personally feel some of the character development was lost in the anime; there's a backstory moment I really liked in the manga that was sadly never mentioned in the anime. Let me know of your thoughts and which version of Prétear you prefer more if you ever get to read it! ☻ |

| @Fario-P Lol I hate that youtuber lady but that does at least clear up a lot of stuff....HAL is either very good...or very bad. I checked out their history. xD I do still think Pretear looks damn good for 2001 though. A lot of shoujo was still treated badly back then. I'm glad things are different now. ^^ Hope you enjoyed the doujinshi. :3 |

| To be fair I haven't read the Sailor Moon manga so I'm only familar with its version of the story via Crystal, but so far I'm not impressed. I'm a pretty recent fan but I've seen all 200 episodes of the '90s series (plus the films and specials) and enjoyed the vast majority of it, and I really do miss that slow pace with Crystal. And besides, even with the main story I prefer the old anime's take in many cases, like . Then again I'm also someone who absolutely loved '90s Chibiusa. The live action Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon from 2003 is worth a mention here. Like Crystal it was made long after the manga had been finished, but it still chose to spend 49 episodes (plus 2 specials) on just the Dark Kingdom arc. That's longer than season 1 of the '90s anime! It has a whole bunch of original ideas, a new major villain and tons of scenes that focus on the girls and make them more compelling characters, and it's generally really worth watching despite some seriously bad special effects. If we do get a new Sailor Moon series, I'd much rather it be something like that. |

| I personally really loved the live-action Sailor Moon show. I feel it rectified a lot of flaws that the 90s anime had and like that it didn't hesitate to put its own spin on things while still staying true to the spirit of the manga and the anime. Plus, many of the characters' more unlikeable traits (Such as Luna being unnecessarily angry at Usagi over everything) are either toned down or completely gone. |
Catalano said: it may be just me but I want a yuuki yuuna sequel, or maybe just a movie where they go all out and fight the incredible how I got my wish, yuyuyu has a sequel planned, wow |
    |
| I want to watch a Sally reboot for its historical significance. The previous reboot is too old for today’s viewers. And I want a Gakuen Alice sequel. The previous anime is far too good to have only 26 episodes. @Catalano Do you have a source for that? |

| If Utena got remade exactly how it is but improved the actions scenes it would be such an easy 10/10 for me |
