Anime Based on Significantly Older Manga (Remakes)
Anime
A continuation of my previous stack, "Anime Based on Significantly Older Manga", exclusively including remakes. The manga must have been at least 15 years old when the anime released. Organized in ascending order by length of time between manga and remake.
List is incomplete. If I am missing any big ones, let me know. Thanks to everyone who has helped me add to this list.
