With the imminent remake of One Piece and the success of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhoodit's no wonder that many fans dream of other anime receiving similar treatment. There are titles that, due to production problems, rushed endings or the passage of time, would look much better today with a new adaptation faithful to the original material and with the quality of modern animation. Here we present ten examples.
Soul Eater should get the Brotherhood treatment
soul eater It is one of the most mentioned cases in discussions about remakes. Although its premiere in 2008 stood out for its striking characters, a unique power system and solid animation, the story deviated from the manga towards the end, generating an anime-original outcome. A faithful remake could repeat the formula of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and take its popularity to a new level.
Berserk deserves a full adaptation
Berserk It has had multiple adaptations, but none has covered all of Kentaro Miura's work. The 1997 series only adapted the Golden Age Arc, while the 2016 version was heavily criticized for its CGI animation and technical shortcomings. In the middle of the dark fantasy era, with hits like Attack on Titanan ambitious remake of Berserk could become a phenomenon.
Naruto could find success with a remake
Yeah One Piece receives a remake, it is not unreasonable to think the same for naruto. The original series had filler problems that slowed down its story. A new, more faithful adaptation to the manga, with updated animation and adjusted pacing, would revitalize the franchise and could reconnect with a generation that knew it through Boruto.
Dragon Ball deserves to return to its roots
Despite being one of the most influential franchises in the world, the original story of dragon ball has never received a remake. Unlike Dragon Ball Z Kaiwhich removed filler and improved the image, Goku's initial stage is still awaiting a renewed version. Rediscovering the protagonist's childhood adventures would be a perfect opportunity to introduce the saga to new fans.
Inuyasha with modern animation
Inuyasha was a phenomenon in the 2000s, but its action and combat scenes could greatly benefit from modern animation. Rumiko Takahashi's series helped popularize the “demon hunter” formula that was later perfected by works such as Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen. A remake would allow us to revisit their romance and adventures with a technical finish worthy of today.
Yu Yu Hakusho needs to return to the spotlight
Released in the 90s, Yu Yu Hakusho It's still influential, but many new fans haven't seen it in its entirety. A new adaptation could bring back Yusuke and the spiritual detectives, with a tighter narrative rhythm and animation on par with modern shōnen. It would be the perfect occasion to reintroduce his legacy to new audiences.
Blue Lock deserves an adaptation to its height
Although Blue Lock is still broadcast, the animation of its second season was criticized for looking like a “slideshow” in several scenes, despite the enormous popularity of the manga. A remake or reboot with better production would allow this extreme football story to reach its full potential, at the level of works like Haikyuu!!.
Tokyo Ghoul should be faithful to the manga
Tokyo Ghoul was a success in popularity, but its anime compressed important arcs and accelerated character development, leaving much material unadapted. A faithful remake of the manga would revitalize the franchise and more completely cover the plots that defined Sui Ishida's work.
Claymore deserves a proper ending
the anime of Claymore (2007) stood out for its dark atmosphere, advanced animation for its time and memorable soundtrack. However, running out of original material, he was forced to improvise an alternative ending in his final chapters. A remake would allow the manga to be adapted in its entirety, giving the work the outcome it deserves.
Gundam needs a better starting point
gundam It has one of the largest universes in anime, but the abundance of series and timelines often intimidates new viewers. A reboot would serve as a clear entry point and, at the same time, allow its classic stories to be reinterpreted with the perspective of all the legacy that the franchise has built in decades.
From this list, which anime do you think more urgently need a remake? Do you prefer a faithful adaptation of the manga or a modern reinterpretation?
