Today, anime remakes are everywhere. Some are well and give a new respite to the most classic stories, but others, better to forget them. This has led the members of a forum in Reddit To wonder: “Are there anime that should never have a remake?” This generated an intense discussion, where users gave their opinions about what anime they should stay as they are and why a remake could ruin what made them special at the time.

There are many key points to define whether a remake is worth it or if it is better to leave things as they are. In the first, the original story must be respected, then a decent budget must fans too attached to nostalgia.

With so many anime receiving remakes today, surely this debate will continue and continue. There are those who believe that certain series would benefit from a remake, especially if this opens the door to a sequel OA that completely adapts the original work, but others claim that these errors were precisely what made them memorableand correcting them will make them “something else from the pile.”

• «Dragon Ball (Z). With the death of Toriyama this year and the canonical history technically still ongoing, in addition to the premiere of Daima, I do not imagine that the anime has a remake soon. Not even in the next 20 years».
• «Inuyasha. He already had a sequel recently and Rumiko Takahashi has already received remakes from his other two great works, so doing one for Inuyasha would be exaggerated».
• «Pokémon. Even if they cut most of the filling, the story of Ash Ketchum is too long for a direct remake».
• «Cowboy Bebop. This anime is a masterpiece, and replicating exactly its tone, characters, songs and world is almost impossible. It is one of the few anime that I think must remain an icon of their time».
• «Shaman King. Despite the commercial success of the series, he already failed twice in anime adaptations. The remake compressed the whole story in just 52 episodes, while the original did not even wait for the manga to end. So I think any future attempt would also fail».
• «Love Hina. Much of this series did not age well, especially in the way it portrays certain characters or how the male protagonist is treated. To make a remake they would have to cut several elements of the story, and I don't think that some fans like».
• «Elfen Lied. With its extreme violence, gore, sexual content and theme, any study that tried to do a remake would censor it more. Especially considering that some key characters and elements of the plot could disappear. In current times, I don't see that this anime has a remake in the future».
• «I will always be in favor of the remakes, while only to improve animation or continue an old series that never had an end».
• «I totally agree with Inuyasha! I know that some fans want a remake because the original had a lot of filling and deviated from the manga, but still stays well today. I also believe that Yu Yu Hakusho I shouldn't have a remake … the original is an absolute classic».
• «I would like to add SAMURAI CHAMPLOO for exactly the same reasons as Cowboy Bebop».
• «More than a remake, Inuyasha I shouldn't even have had a sequel. Yashahime He left me a bad taste and tried to ignore him, but it is difficult because Takahashi even gave him his approval. I would also want timeless classics as Heidi, the Alps girl and Maya the bee They would not have had those remakes in Western CGI».
• «Black Lagoon. He touched so many taboo themes that I don't think they allowed today. Profar a Nazi submarine, the disturbing twins, casual racism among the characters, mix violence with religious symbols … there is too much here to make a remake without generating controversy».
• «Most, but especially Mobile Suit Gundam».
• «One Piece It should have been edited to improve its rhythm instead of receiving a remake … because ancient animation is still much better than that of many current seasonal anime».
• «While there are some parts that could be updated, Gurren Lagann It is all that has to be, you do not need sequelae or changes».
• «They will hate me for this, but the Mobile Suit Gundam Original does not need a remake. It already has two: the trilogy of films and the manga The Origin. Yes, animation did not age well and has errors, but we must remember that at that time they had no idea that it would become a gigantic franchise».
