I am pleased to say I got past my skepticism and tried this show out - at least for these first few episodes that have been released. For the classic story parts that became the backbone of the manga the representation is more accurate than the first series was, offering a literal different flavor on the same thing -- in some cases leading to better dialogue. There is also a CLEAR throughline that the creators are taking it up a notch from previous installments - the antagonist fights thus far (3 eps out when this was written) have had a very good feel to them and allowed a vivid color representation of a fun tale.
If you enjoyed the other incarnations of this series, you can easily overlook any redundancies here and have a good time with this show.
