Is the sequel worth attention? I only watched the first season and had mixed feelings then.

They worded “new series” will this be a reboot or remake? I'm confused.
Remember what Master Oogway told us:

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.

@RobertBobert neither watched, nor read it but people are saying that the current season adapts the best manga arc.

So does that mean we don't need to wait 7 years again for the next season?

@Nachtwandler_21 I've become a little more motivated about battle shonens now, but when I watched the first season in the second half of the '10s, it seemed rather not my cup of tea.
