These 10 Ugliest Anime Saved Cool Reboot

 8. Osomatsu-kun — Osomatsu-san

Osomatsu-kun was once a beloved series in anime's early days. But, as anime evolved and progressed, this classic series became a relic of the past that few remember. Until finally this series was revived with a more modern approach. Osomatsu-san acts as a reboot and continuation of that classic series. The anime features the iconic quintuplets as adults traveling the world while still maintaining a NEET lifestyle. It's a smart and hilarious series that carries on everything that was good from the original series. The series gives the original series a refresh to appeal to a modern audience.

7. Dororo — Dororo

Osamu Tezuka's work is one of the most iconic and influential of all time. These works are even still influential in today's modern anime. However, few of his series have been as celebrated as they should be and some have even been forgotten. Dororo is one of those series that never reaches its full potential. In 2019, MAPPA decided to reboot the classic series. They introduced Dororo and Hyakkimaru to a new generation of fans. This version honors the original, by following a much darker and more mature story line that better suited the premise.

6. Sailor Moon — Sailor Moon Crystal

It is undeniable that the anime Sailor Moon played an important role in the 1990s or its influence on magical girl series in the future. This anime is one of the most iconic magical girl series of all time and globally acclaimed. However, many fans feel that, even though it was good, the 90s anime failed to portray Usagi's journey well. That's why when Sailor Moon Crystal was announced, fans couldn't contain their excitement. This is the first time that the Sailor Moon anime actually follows the manga's story line from start to finish. This makes the reboot a smashing addition to this iconic franchise.

5. Fruits Basket — Fruits Basket

Fruits Basket is one of the most beloved shojo series of all time. The original anime adaptation was one of the most popular anime of the 2000s. Although fans love the anime released in 2001, many are disappointed that the anime was never finished and the story was left hanging. However, with the series being rebooted under the same title in 2019, fans of Fruits Basket will finally get to see the manga's entire storyline. Many characters that fans love finally debut in anime. This reboot is also more serious than the 2001 adaptation, which captures the heart of the manga better.

4. Fate/Stay Night — Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works

The Fate franchise is one of the most famous franchises, from the game series to its many anime adaptations. Fans were overjoyed when the Fate/Stay Night anime was released. However, the joy was only temporary. Lack of budget causes this anime to have poor visual quality and the story is also disappointing. Fortunately, Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works fixes many of the problems that plagued the first adaptation. With better funding, this series has better animation quality. The story and characters have also been improved.

3. Devilman — Devilman Crybaby

Initially, Devilman was considered obscure outside of Japan. This anime is weird, edgy, and too horrible for most people. That's why this anime is often not seen by people. What's more, this anime is ancient and even ridiculous when compared to modern titles. The reboot is cool giving the series a classy and polished look. This allows a new generation to appreciate this classic series in a way fans before them may not have been able to. Thanks to the popularity of Devilman Crybaby, the original anime is now also gaining new fans.

2. Hellsing — Hellsing Ultimate

When Hellsing first came out, the manga was still running. Because the manga's story line has not been completed, the anime adaptation faces two choices: fill the story with filler or make your own conclusions. Hellsing chose the second option.

1. Fullmetal Alchemist — Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

There's no doubt that the Fullmetal Alchemist adaptation in 2003 is one of the anime with the most disappointing ending of all time. Because the manga was still running at the time, the final half of the first anime series was all non-canon. The series ends with Ed and Al separated in two different universes. Fortunately, 6 years later, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was released and saved everyone from a messy and unsatisfying ending. Fans consider Brotherhood to be the true anime and one that newcomers should watch, as it is absolutely true to its manga. This version also has one of the best endings in anime history that blows the original series away.
