Might watch

You should watch it if you are shonen fan. It is much better than any of the other dragon quests games/anime when it comes to story and villains, there is a lot of big fights and twists. I have read the whole manga.

Ogata as Brass, and (SS best girl) Furihata as Gome-chan??? Those voices work so well!! Cannot wait for this reboot, and hoping for some sakuga as well, but not limited to Shida.
