 Publisher Shueisha announced a new anime project for Joh Araki and Kenji Nagatomo's Bartender manga on Friday. Nagatomo shared an illustration to commemorate the announcement (pictured above). Araki and Nagatomo originally serialized the slice of life gourmet manga in Super Jump magazine from December 2004 to September 2011. The manga then switched to Grand Jump in November 2011 and ended the following month. Shueisha released the 21st and final volume in February 2012. A spin-off manga by Osamu Kajisa ran in the same magazine from January 2012 to October 2013. The sixth and final volume was released in December 2013. Palm Studio produced an 11-episode television anime adaptation in Fall 2006. Shout! Factory and Anime Limited licensed the anime in September 2020 and released a Blu-Ray set in United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, and the United States in January 2021. Bartender received a live-action television series that aired in January 2011. Synopsis Hidden in the backstreets of the Ginza district is Eden Hall, a lone bar operated by Ryuu Sasakura, the prodigy bartender who is said to mix the most incredible cocktails anyone has ever tasted. However, not just anyone can find Eden Hall; rather, it is Eden Hall that must find you. Customers of varying backgrounds, each plagued with their own troubles, wander into this bar. Nevertheless, Ryuu always knows the ideal cocktail to console and guide each distraught soul.

| Well, that's certainly a suprise, but a hopeful one. Honestly, they just have to continue it exactly like the old one. That one was pretty much perfect. Especially the voice of the narrator fit so well and contributed much to the relaxed, smooth and very classy atmosphere. |

| Just seeing that this already had an anime before, but I'll wait to see if this new one is a remake or a continuation before I decide whether or not to watch the old one |
| Never thought I will see a new anime announcement for one of my very first manga series that I read back in 2012. Really happy. Will it be remake or sequel? Most probably a remake |
| There's a signature here urging people to watch Bartender, that person's in the luck right now. |

| Wtf happened to his hair was he playing yugioh |

| Happy to see more Bartender, although, the graphics here are a bit strange. Regardless, looking forward to it! |
| Certainly an unexpected project. Ryuu looks kind of uncanny in the promo visual, a very eccentric new look... |
| very surprised by this hope it can be better than the original (probs not but ill still take it) |
 |
|
| The 2006 anime had such a unique charme, I wonder how the new adaptation will measure up. The illustration looks indeed not good when you take into account that we came from this  |

Yeah.. This feels off.. So i'm just going to assume bar attendance and alcohol consumption in Japan hasn't recovered to pre-pandemic levels.. Being the reason why we're getting this.. |
| What a nice surprise! |
| I'm fond of the original Bartender, but that illustration looks a little... off. |

| Sorry but Ryuu looks uglier here than his old design.. his old design looked charming and quite charismatic to me, while here he looks a bit more...cute? His hair looks pretty eccentric too. But that doesn't really matter as long as the atmosphere is still the same when it airs. |
 |
| Great news since the manga is GOATED, but not feeling the art as other posters have said above. But yeah it is what it is. |

 |
| Woah...now I really need to get back to reading it. |

In the previous series animation looks better than in the original manga. |

| No, thanks. It's a skip for me. The first one was enough. |
