It's not a remake, it's a sequel.

Oh, I see now. The manga is still on-going (apparently it came back after decades of dormancy?), so it's just adapting the newer chapters/arcs from where Toei had left off. Interesting that it's no longer Toei, though, but hopefully that just means the quality is up to par.

I thought that it will be a remake. Anyway, good news that it will be a sequel.

So my favorite studio Production I.G. is going to be doing the Musculeman remake. I've heard about Muscleman back in the day, but I don't remember watching a single episode. I know Production I.G. has a lot on their plate right now, but I hope they didn't forget about finishing the rest of the LOGH remake.

What a weird move, to make a sequel adaptation after decades for a now super-outdated anime.

I was expecting a reboot, it would definitely bring many new fans for the franchise. At least the KV looks pretty cool and the studio/staff is competent, I guess.
