This is way more than I expected, or that the series needed it, but I m all on board for it, such nostalgia when I recall watching this series over and over after recording on TV.

I've watched Yaiba when I was a kid and I've enjoyed it so much. I'm genuinely happy to see how beautiful this animation looks for this remake! This looks incredible!!

And I never even imagined that Wit Studio will be animating this. Just wow! They're working on The One Piece remake too, which is also a humongous project.

I'm so looking forward to this Yaiba remake! <3 Ah, the nostalgia!!!!

As a big Detective Conan fan, Yaiba was always my biggest blind spot. I can finally check it out now.

Hey, Viz? This is your chance to release the manga.

Zoomers don't watch older anime so maybe remaking every classic is the way. Better than making another LN Isekai...

Gonna be the best remake animation wise hopefully the story is equally good to back it up.

Impressive stuff. Wit Studio alone is something to be happy about, but good to see so many talented professionalists working on this remake. The original version was fun to watch.
