Comment on "Cat's Eye" Anime Remake Announced with Teaser Visual, PV

Every time anime studios do this the new one just feels completely sterilized. The art style did a lot of heavy lifting of old anime. While a good story is always good, the new art style can really make an okay story seem worse.
Trigun, IMO, is a good example that suffered greatly from this. Even though the writing on a technical level was better in the new one, I still found the art style of the original made the original vastly superior overall.
While I am interested to see more, I am concerned this will follow the rest of modern “sterilized” anime.

I really hope anime doesn’t fall into the same trap that Hollywood has in cranking out remakes of old IPs every couple of decades just to renew the copyrights.
It wastes scarce production resources i.e. animators, crowds out the market for new ideas, and even the geezers (like me) who watched this stuff in its time want to see something more relevant to the current times.
