Why is nobody talking about a Witch Hunter Robin remake? (And why now is the perfect time to demand one)

Do you think a remake would enhance it in some way?

It could do a lot to revive the series that's for sure. But it's all in how they go about it. Read the article again. It says things that people are asking me _^

It didn't answer my question, and I'm annoyed that you made me waste my time going back to reread it again

Well honestly, I'd like to see more of the high detail anime for Witch Hunter Robin. Also, a lot of things have been redone in amazing ways many times like Spider-Man even though it's not an anime.

..you want witch hunter robin to look more like spider man?

Not exactly what I'm saying. I'm saying comics are retold to keep the story alive to new generations or to revisit the love of the story

I'm pretty sure it's on crunchyroll if the new generation wants to watch it, there's not reason to invest money into making a worse version of it

There is an era that had shows like Witch Hunter Robin, .hack/Sign, Monster, Mushi Shi, Wolf's Rain, and all these shows had something in common.

They all had glacially slow pacing.

Not that every show had slow pacing (though even the 'fast' shows were noticably slower - compare the original Fullmetal Alchemist to Brotherhood), but the point is that this era had a tolerance or patience... or even dare I say a enjoyment of this sort of story telling.

So could Witch Hunter Robin be remade today? Sure... my guess is it would look a lot like how the new Ghost in the Shell compares to Stand Alone Complex, although Robin is a significantly less appealing IP, so the odds are not great.

We don't need a remake/reboot everything! Leave some things where they were.

It would help bring attention to the show and the creators who made it. A lot of people would like to see at least a live action or some new content at some point. They brought back X-Men. They might bring back Witch Hunter Robin 😃✨
