That being said, I don't actually know very many series that need reboots aside from a few, like the Fate route that Studio Deen butchered back in the day, and a real Tsukihime anime that'll both, hopefully (if ever), be adapted by a more competent director than the one that helmed the ufotable adaptations of the Fate series thinking it was a good idea to deprive the story entirely of inner-monologues. Seriously, Nasu's writing shines through the inner-monologues in the original visual novels—it's so meticulously detailed and conveys the thoughts and feelings of the protagonists super well, which allowed for us to so easily empathize with them. Removing them was probably the worst decision ufotable could've made. It's like if Shaft decided to adapt the Monogatari series without any of Araragi's inner-monologues, which is a terrifying thought.
But I digress. Regardless of whether the newly announced Spice & Wolf anime turns out to be a reboot or not, I think I'll be happy either way. More of Holo is always a good thing!
this arc shouldve been a movie tbh
...Or maybe I'm thinking too hard about all of this, and maybe Crunchyroll just wanted to give lesser-known anime like Sonny Boy a veritable chance at winning AOTY by removing strong contenders like Mushoku Tensei from the nominees. Who knows? I certainly don't, but I decided to type all of this out anyway, haha.
By the by, have you heard of Crunchyroll's 2021 Anime Awards? If so, what do you think about the nominees? Despite the amount of categories to vote from, the selection of anime seems pretty sparse, if I'm being honest. I know 2021 wasn't the greatest year for anime, but this year's Anime Awards is only exacerbating that fact due to a lack in diverse choices. Personally, I'm hoping either Odd Taxi or Sonny Boy wins AOTY. I also hope Kobayashi S2 wins in at least 1 category, because, whatever your thoughts on the story may be, I think it's undeniable the amount of love and care KyoAni put into the production of the anime.
When I initially finished it, I thought it was really good at first. Then it occurred to me that there was still more stuff going on in the manga to where the hastily implemented arcs held less value than I initially thought. The ending was okay but weird in how there wasn’t much setup to begin with.
Also, really nice to see another Hunter x Hunter and Madoka Magica fan.
Thanks for explaining it to me, I really appreciate it! I'll raise my score of the second season by one point just for this. Keep up your reviews, Blue!~
