The original or the remake?

I just got caught up on the new version

Based on the sharpness of the resolution I'm pretty sure I'm watching the remastering. I am correct in assuming nothing was changed, yes? I'd rather not watch a botched job of a classic.

2023 vs 1996 visually

I’ve only seen the new version myself. Comments I’ve seen online seem to be that the new version is truer to the manga in story & tone with better visuals & animation. People who prefer the original seem to have a nostalgic view & say it had a better soundtrack.

I truly appreciate older animation for what it is, but that appears to me as a very welcomed facelift. I've enjoyed the fights a lot so far, and it's interesting to me that the new version would be more manga accurate. Generally these things go in the wrong direction.

We recently subscribed to Crunchyroll and lately have been cycling between Food Wars, City Hunter, Sailor Moon Crystal, Heaven’s Design Team, Space Battleship Tiramisu, Dallos, Desert Punk, Basilisk, and Cyber City Oedo 808

I was also very thrilled  when I discovered that my all-time fave, Planetes, is on there too! So, that’s also in the watchlist ❤️

My opinion of Tasokare Hotel has improved quite a bit the past couple weeks. Of course a lot still depends on how the season/series ends. It can be watched legally on Youtube (new episodes on Fridays).

I am currently watching One Piece (on episode 1,108) and FAIRY TAIL 100 YEARS QUEST (on episode 10). I have already watched the entirety of Fairy Tail and I really enjoyed it but the extension has yet to really…captivate me. It’s a little boring which is disappointing.

Kinda weird that Shangri La Frontier decided to put the main storyline on hold (especially since the undersea city scenario is still in the early stages) just as season 2’s end is in sight. But I’m actually loving how the fighting game tournament brings out the personalities of the central trio. Sunraku may be a goofball & a troll, but Kei is right about Amane/Pencilgon being downright evil 😈 😂 The way they trash talk each other makes them feel like actual gaming “buddies” (frenemies). And it’s nice that Kei is finally getting some attention since he seems like the least developed character. Won’t be surprised if the season ends on a SLF cliffhanger because season 3 seems all but assured. Sure hope so since the series is becoming on of my all time favorites.

I gave in and took a chance with Solo Leveling. I like it! The story is interesting although I will admit I’m not a big fan of video game themes in anime. The animation is fantastic as well. I am already through with the first season.

Agreed, it's the only video game mechanic anime I've been able to hang with because it's mostly a background theme and not overused. Second season is far better than I expected by the way so have fun with that.

I wasn’t personally impressed by season 1 except by the visuals, but have heard online that season 2 is much improved. So planning to start it in the next couple weeks as shows I’m currently watching wrap up (Orb’s final ep is this weekend & several have 2 eps left). Also, finally started my rewatch of Hananko-kun season 1 since I’d forgotten a lot of the story details during the wait for season 2 (five years).

There isn't much I can say that wouldn't spoil certain aspects of the story but I felt like season 2 raised the bar across all points a few notches.
