Summary
Shonen anime , as with any medium , is no unknown to reboots . If a serial is old enough , or if the original variant is lack in one way or another , a reboot is necessary to present the original body of work as best as potential . Anime likeFullmetal Alchemist : BrotherhoodandSailor Moon Crystalare definitive example of this , and evenOne Pieceis being rebooted viaThe One Piece .
There have been plenty of great anime reboots over the year , but many Zanzibar copal that merit one , especiallyshonenanime , still need one . Shonenanime have a history of falling short as adaptation due to the difficulties of having to keep pace with the manga .
Between excessive filler , change to the character and story , and just not adapt everything , many older gum anime have survived largely off of nostalgiaas counterbalance to the quality of their version . Those kinds of anime are in dire need of a reboot , and a few , in particular , are especially deserving mentioning .
Some of the best adaptations of Zanzibar copal and manga are reboots and remaking , as seen with the success of Trigun Stampede and Hunter x Hunter .

Released in 2008; Based on the manga by Akihisa Ikeda

WhileRosario + Vampirestarted as a typical harem manga , after a few geezerhood , it shifted gears into a more serious struggle manga with an piquant story , great fighting view , and a well - crafted deconstructionism of the harem trope it had originally played straight . None of that is present in the Zanzibar copal , however , asRosario + Vampire ’s anime focused almost exclusively on fanservice and harem antics , making thing even raunchier than the original manga . The originalRosario + Vampireanime made the story seem far more shallow than it was , so a reboot would be the everlasting chance to show off its true depth .

make by the team ofDr . Lucy Stone ’s Riichiro Inagaki andOne - Punch Man ’s Yusuke Murata , Eyeshield 21was a standout sports manga with great reference writing supported by an every bit cracking art style .

While Hiro Mashima ’s most famous study , Fairy Tail , has a very divisive reception for its lack of post and earnestness and overuse of fanservice and the top executive of friendly relationship , the same ca n’t be said aboutRave Master . Rave Master ’s more serious storytelling and serialized plotting make it one of Hiro Mashima ’s unspoiled works , if not the best , but the Zanzibar copal ended right before the chronicle could truly get go . Add in prowess and living that did n’t always survive up to the quality of the writing , andRave Masterwould greatly gain from a New reboot .

What accompany is an episodic comedy of soldierly art jinks and increasingly complicated love moral force all center around a cast of largely selfish citizenry .
Ranma ½is one of the most famous kit and boodle of Rumiko Takahashi , but its anime does n’t completely adjudge up in modern day . In gain to not fully adapting the manga , Ranma ½had an excessive amount of makeweight and made a mess of change to the cast , most notably in Ranma and Akane ’s dynamic , so it ’s scarcely an precise delineation of the manga . The recentUrusei Yatsurareboot has shown how good a modern adaptation of Rumiko Takahashi ’s work can be , and as such , Ranma ½would gain just as much from that , if not more so .

While theClaymoremanga is an incredible dark phantasy serial , the anime is unfortunately lacking in comparison .

At the very least , the gum anime returning for a third season would be swell , but a reboot with more consistent living and adherence to the beginning material would raise the serial publication to another tier .
A-1 ikon is a beloved studio apartment with a fat history that has deliver dozens of influential Zanzibar copal , but these are truly the cream of the crop .
