A new Kochikame anime was announced yesterday, any hopes for it? https://x.com/Kochikame_info/status/2002237651269898673?s=20 Kochikame was the longest running Shonen Jump series, running from 1976 to 2016, with it's chapters collected in 201 volumes
>>284685534First Hitman Reborn and now this, who's next?
>>284685534Is this series even popular anywhere outside Japan? I doubt anyone cares enough to even have hopes
>>284685534Is Ai Asato/Maria going to remain a buff man underneath "her" clothes like in the original anime or are they going to magically turn "her" into a woman like in the manga? Honestly I like the character better as a man like in the original anime, there's no point for a cute trap without PP
>>284685931It seems to be popular as fuck in Hindi speaking countries at least, it also aired in Spain
>>284685534
>>284685820Yakitate!! Japan
That explains the Museum and the new merch
>>284685534>Another anime from the author of Kochikame was announced, Osamu Akimoto's Mr. Clice manga gets anime! The manga first ran in Monthly Shonen Jump from 1985 through 2007. The manga also previously returned in Jump SQ. in 2017, before moving to Jump SQ. RISE in 2018.>"The manga centers on Jim Clice, a super A-class spy who had died in an accident during a mission. However, he is resurrected, but with his brain transplanted into the body of a woman. In order to get his body returned to being a man's, he must gain the approval of his supervisors and travel the world to carry out dangerous missions."https://x.com/Kochikame_info/status/2002237050091942044
>>284685534>any hopes for it?I WANT REIKO MASSIVE MILKERS NOW
>>284686020Don't forget Maria's identical looking sister
>>284685534Not really since it's being made by Gallop, im more curious about the game they announced
>>284686678Assuming it comes out, I 'member they announced a new Samurai Pizza Cats game a year ago and still no news
>>284686208That looks so comfy
>>284685534Ryoutsu was fun to play in J Stars Victory VS, played as him the most alongside Bobobo-Bo-Bo-Bobo and Nueno/Nube
>>284687125Kino
>>284686413
>>284687125This looks fun
>>284685534>Enter
>>284686479Based
>>284686722They did announced a comic tie-in, but no news about the game
>>284686020
>>284686413>>284686479
>>284685534Who even asked for this?
>>284689761I did, you wanna fight about it?
>>284689761Japan probably? the series is really popular there
>>284685534Absolutely nobody outside japanese boomers:>I'm gonna watch this
The first time I watched the anime I expected it to be like a sitcom, and at first it seemed that way, but then you suddenly had the cops dealing with aliens, robots, wizards, time travel, kaijus, etc... they didn't pay them enough
>>284689644
This is probably going to come out in 2027, they are revealing the new cast in September
>>284685820A man can dream
>>284687125Okay, that is a pretty good gag I'll admit.
>>284685820Would be nice if it happened
>>284691189A Bobobo adaptation that doesn't remove all the gore and violence from the manga would be nice, the anime's censorship was 4Kids tier, not only they removed all the blood, they also changed the guns to water guns, removed all the religious imagery, changed tobacco to chocolate, changed the duck underwear to a duck hat and so on
>>284686413That and the original anime got uploaded into YouTube. The same thing happened with High School Kimengumi.
>>284686468More excited for this honestly. If we're going back to adapt old manga, why not do something that hasn't been adapted before?
>>284686594
>>284687665This and the DS game were the Shonen Jump crossover games with the best rosters, lots of weird shit
>>284686468If you look at Osamu Akimoto's other series besides Kochikame most of them have women with big tits as the main character, it really makes me think he just ended Kochikame back in 2016 so he could focus on drawing what he likes best which I respect, Mr Clice's first chapter was published in 1985 and the manga is ongoing still (it was brought back after Kochikame ended) so it is nice to see it finally getting an anime
>>284691296Honestly if they are going dig into the jump catalogue they should just do Rokudenashi Blues or any other Masanori Morita manga for that matter
>>284687665>>284691333Funny how Kochikame actually got a stage over Hitman Reborn in both games
>>284686020Male Maria >>>>> Female Maria
>>284691409He's also very into women with big tits who are secretly men
>>284689761Me
>>284685534Rather than a new anime, how about we finally get some subs for the old anime?
>>284692334A few of the original series' episodes were uploaded officially to Youtube, but you can only watch them if you live in North America
>>284692418Or by simply downloading them from nyaa as always. It's not the entire series though, that's the problem.
>>284692418If you know Spanish there's a Spain dub, they only dubbed around 303 episodes out of the 373 and some are out of order, but still a lot of episodes dubbed:f9e3009c3529d14d82c048ef8a227c709c47bc70
>>284690454Except it continues to be popular with Japanese kids despite all expectations to the contrary
>>284691317
>>284691996
>>284686479Kochikame girls are seriously underrated in here
>>284685534Does it have serious arcs or is it just gags for nearly 2000 chapters?
>>284693340>serious>kochikameLolLmao
>>284693340>shounen specs can't comprehend shounen not being about fightingSad just sad
>>284693635He is probably a zoomer. I refuse to believe a millenial that doesn't know Kochikame.
>>284693652Everyone knows Kochikame, but no one has read it.
>>284691838Based
>>284693340It is just a bunch of random shit happening that gets weirder and weirder as the series goes on, series with little continuity were common in Shonen Jump during the 70s,80s and 90s, It is nice to have some series that don't take themselves seriously
>>284690759sitcoms are better when animated, because they can do shit that isn't possible in live action
>>284693477>>284693635>let's finance this anime that will appeal to a couple dozen boomer readersWhat's jump thinking? They'll just be burning money into the fire if there's no appeal to this.
>>284691409he ended it at 200 volumes because he was worried he'd otherwise die and leave it at an ugly number like 216 or something
>>284694302Agreed
>>284694368Makes sense
>>284694342That they want to celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of their biggest multi-generational hits?
>>284686020Dear God please have Kochikame force every doujinshi and cg artist to make bonafide big booba again, chinkslop ruined everything
>>284688564The power of taking care of your back
>>284685534Japan keeps necromancing old franchises.
>>284685820I will continue to pray for a complete Soul Eater adaptation.
>>284693340this is like asking if the simpsons has serious arcs
>>284694342Well it ran for 40 years so it must have done something right
