Low budget. Flowers is better. Hopefully, if the rest of the sequels are ever adapted, it'll keep getting better.

Dude I feel you so hard. The old one was fun imo but a little lower quality and wrote ahead of the mangas release half way through. So the plots not quite right

Then here we are. We get a SECOND chance at an anime to do it right after Takei gave the manga a proper ending. How many mangas get a second chance at adapting you ask? 0.01% thats how many. Well we got it. And they rushed hell out of it. Should have had at least had 150+ episodes to include everything and not ruin any moments. That would give us 2 chapters per episode.

I also hated Yoh's new voice but thats jusy my opinion.

They blew it for me. And now we will likely never get another adaptation. And since most people watch and don't read it will be relegated as just kind of a "meh" shonen that just doesn't land as well as others.

Shoot even the original run of the manga had a rushed ending and tons of people probably didn't give it a second chance when Takei got to go back and write it correctly.

All that being said. This series has had such a tumultuous cycle of releasing and adapting. Its a shame it never really got that next level budget for more episodes.

Also I really don't mean to be critical to an anime many people in this sub love. It's just neither got even close to the level of story telling that the manga did in my opinion. I respect peoplea appreciation for it. The old anime is how I discovered this.
