Kinnikuman Perfect Origin Arc is over... for now. 

I'd be surprised if they do that. I appreciate they''ve done so a few times but then later removed it like Saint Seiya.

It may also have to do with maintaining activity & likely to make a good working environment. I think it is possible to have 24+ eps per year with my speculation of Jan-Mar & July-Sep schedule. If that's the case we could get Kinnikuman every year up till 2029. I feel Perfect Origin Arc will stop at 2026. Omega Centuari Spears will be all of 2027. Then 2028 will be all the Choushin stuff. 2029 is anyone's guess of what could happen.

I was trying to remember if Satan was a Chojin God or not. Meanwhile the 5 Evil Gods are still at work in the current stuff. There's was a few other reactions that I found but I didn't want to overload the slight distraction.

So far my biggest issue is the lighting. The colors look muted or washed out in some cases. And in other times things look too bright that it obscures the image. Looking back at it, I think the anime is trying to replicate those real light sources back when animation cels were used. The results have been mixed. I also agree that the fluid animation seems to be placed heavily on the promos & the actual anime artstyle is different from those segments. Compared to the original anime, POA is definitely much better animated. Although I also don't know how well modern fast paced animation would look on wrestling moves that depict weight via slams. There's also the need of showing two entire muscular bodies moving together. So I don't think it needs to be look something like Jujutsu Kaisen. I guess the best way I can compare it is resorting to Godzilla Destroy All Monsters as an example. None of those characters play fast like DBFZ, Marvel Vs Capcom or Smash but I think the slow yet heavy mobility works for Godzilla. But I also feel there's definitely room for improvement. Some techniques don't quite deliver the impact I imagined such as The Eight Men Black Hole Kick lacks a little punch when compared to the spinning headbutt Black Hole does soon after. It seems to be case by case because The Atlantis segment against Kinnikuman look great as brief as it was. Same goes for the Muscle Spark. I'm hoping this is a case where Pro IG is figuring things out much like David Pro did with JoJo 2012. It was quite a jump they did from Phantom Blood & Battle Tendency to the very detailed Stardust Crusaders. I'm certain by the time we get to the Perfect Origin we'll see changes. Without a doubt they'll make the two final fights with Kinnikuman & Akuma Shogun look the best.

If time does reset from Chapter 1 aka Shin Kinnikuman, I guess that could serve as the blueprint for an anime reboot of the original series. But that would also be the most comic book thing ever like the New 52 & stuff.

Kinnkugod seems like a possibility. It never really occurred to me that the characters could actually ascend. My mind was always focused on the threat or hoping for a character to win their fight. I guess I sort of had the journey over the destination when I read the modern Kinnikuman.

I think that might be possible considering all the merchandise & early teasing of the Justice Chojin. I'd believe that even more if the opening stays the same. I hope more manly stuff comes from other series next year.

I'm hoping that happens as the anime goes on.

I recall most of the Japanese fandom were adoring tsundere Buffaloman.

Yeah it does feel a little weird to speculate on the next Kinnikuman episode but I'm excited nonetheless that the fanbase can do these things now.

If something shows up I hope the wait was worth it.

I wouldn't be against seeing them return with a serious direction.

@@THEAnimeHERO well that if they bring back kannikuman robin mask and Raman VA they'll most likely use different voices seeing how the VA for Ryu from shaman King use a different voice

It'll be a while before that happens. Takashi Shimada has tweeted interest in a reboot if Perfect Origin Arc was successful. But I wouldn't take it at face value & I doubt they would go backwards. I would like to see a reboot as I think it's feasible to make since the arcs are very short.

It's still up in the air. I'm expecting a dub to happen by Season 2's debut. If it doesn't then that's concerning.

I wonder how they taste.

Things will get even more intense by January & in the future.

And?

Thank you.

We don't know if Toei is involved with this new project. Although I'm just as concerned that Toei doesn't seem to have any event planned for the 1983 anime's 40th anniversary.

@THEAnimeHERO hopefully it comes out soon because this generation needs to know who true God father of shonen

Do you mean solely on anime? Or with shows in general? Anime having to be continued is pretty normal to have for every episode. More so nowadays when anime has been doing seasons & cours instead of releasing all of it at once. Dragon Quest Dai was the last anime I can think of that released 100 episodes consecutively minus a few weeks in delays or holidays, etc. Also, Kinnikuman is big enough in Japan that it won't just cancel. It's not exclusive to Netflix either. Although I don't know if low viewership will affect it's English release or not.

@@THEAnimeHERO I see.

That's a first. Did you see 1983 version or the Ultimate Muscle dub? How far did you get out of 12 episodes?

@@THEAnimeHERO Yes. Not fully but beyond the first arcs that were more gag than serious. Perhaps it is a wrong choice of soundtrack and pacing that feels really off from the older content, and inferior.

If it does indeed come back every Jan & July then I'm okay with the 12 episode format. At least there's constant activity unlike FOTNS.
