Fans were thrilled by the prospect of a new anime. Given that the manga series was very old, fans did not think an anime adaptation was possible, even during its 40th-anniversary celebrations.

However, the manga might soon receive a new anime project. Thus, fans have already begun hoping the anime will do justice to the original manga. Though it’s unknown whether the anime will be a new story or a reboot of the original anime.
