That's my thinking about it too. But even if this production was canceled, that doesn't mean another one won't happen eventually, and it's still a great time for the ZB franchise.
It's so cool to see this video still getting views! I do monthly Zatch Bell 2 discussion streams on my channel, go to the "live" tab if you want to watch them! They're a little scuffed, but I think there's great discussion there!
I reeeeeeeally hope for a Zatch Bell anime reboot someday. Nothing will ever replace the OG anime in my heart, but seeing the Godufa half of the Faudo arc get an anime adaption would be so cool
I feel as though something big is coming, simply from the fact that there has been so many new gatcha figure lines as well as other merch, along with a whole new mobile game that’s coming out in 2024. I’ve noticed that mobile games tend to be a really good indication to a tie in anime, since they’ll use some of the screenshots of the series within the gameplay, like with the Shaman King remake getting a game along with Adventures of Dai following a similar path. Not to mention the 2nd series getting released in print and selling really well would push for a remake anime too.
I do think that Zatch Bell (Gash Bell originally I guess) would do well to be redone, maybe even do the full story rather than the shortened one in the original anime. I do think that it could seriously benefit from this more than a lot of early 2000's anime. But we'll see, would be great
Yoooo!!! Awesome Zatch/Gash Bell find! Looks awesome! I hope they give Zatch Bell the Brotherhood treatment one day, following the true ending and cleaning up the anime and having it track the story in a more streamlined way
I can't believe there are people talking about Konjiki no Gash (Edit* Ohh 20th anniversary could explain why, **oops 22nd anni, nvm lol) (I see 2 vids in the sidebar too, made only 3 months ago), I don't know how people think of this anime since it's quite old. It's my favourite manga for sure. I also found out just last week there's a sequel! A complete anime would be super cool, it deserves it :D
GREAT stuff, man! Love your choice of background too, I actually recognize it from Golden Memories. The color scheme for Clear Note is definitely one of the biggest jaw droppers.... And you summed it up quite well when you said it's illogical for any fan-artist to go to such great lengths to make this art and then only sell ONE copy of it online... This surely HAD to be for a production of some kind, but the question is... was it something that was terminated around the time it was auctioned off? Or is it something that might actually still be realized in the future? For now, all we can do is hope... and marvel at the exquisite artwork for what it is. :)
Oh. OH. I would LOVE for this to be true. It was SUCH a travesty that we didn't get the full Manga animated. We were SO close. And even then the US didn't get all the anime that there was, nor did we get like the last 5 volumes of the Manga translated for us. I LOVE Konjiki no Gash Bell though. I would seriously love to see it get its final arc animated at the very least.
The art is real but some people still have doubts as to whether it's legitimate. But if it's not legit, it'd be fanart that someone made just to sell one time and get money, which is more unbelievable to me than it being real. But the existence of the art doesn't mean that a new anime is coming. It might mean that but we really don't know.
Hopefully we get a remake and if we do that it is well adapted. I was looking forward to the Shaman King remake but then I heard about its pacing issues (cramming 300 chapters into 52 episodes). Hopefully Zatch Bell would get about 104 episodes so that it can have a little more than 3 ch/ep average (coincidentally, that is the number of episodes of the original anime that were dubbed)
