Remakes/requels/prequels/spirtual successors weren't that common in the past in the anime sphere outside of the obligatory Evangelion every other year, but that is very much changing. Now, we have how many getting shat out? Ranma 1/2, Rurouni Kenshin, Spice and Wolf, Cat's Eye, One Piece, Naruto, and Anne Shirley, all come to mind, though that's just the ones off the top of my head and I know there's even more that I am forgetting. This is the most common avenue for cultural vandalism by progressives, because they love to put on the skinned pelt of their latest victim so they can prance about and make a total mockery of it while demanding you pay them for the privilege. I have seen it too many times in the West to think that this won't happen in the East, if it hasn't happened in the shows I listed already.
That's also not counting the almost guaranteed narrative butchery and censorship that Sony is forcing on anime much like they have been forcing on to gaming. I have already noted a suspicious uptick in the number of desexualized female characters, faggots, trannies, and browns in anime and Japanese vidya were there were none before, and that is a bad sign as well. I would love to be wrong, but I think this acquisition, and the general Western invasion of Japanese entertainment, bodes ill for the future of the last bastion of decent entertainment.
Yes, I know this has veered into political sperging, but unfortunately you can't discuss entertainment nowadays without acknowledging the neon pink, twerking elephant in the room. It used to be I would consume entertainment to get away from real world crap, but that time has long passed.
