EPISODE REVIEWS
¡Es una adaptación muy fiel a la serie original! También me gusta verla remasterizada, especialmente por las peleas y las expresiones de los personajes.
As someone who religiously tuned to this series as a child, I can say that this is a really good modern adaptation of the original. One of the most notable upgrades being the design of the main character, which from my view back then, was too "uneven" compared with her companions whose looks seemed more fitting for their personalities. If anything, the present audiences are in for a treat as we begin our adventure in the series that many see as the percursor to a certain genre, and they're already teasing the best bits of the story. Great start, hoping it rides this positive momentum all throughout its run.
Honestly, imagery wise this remake efficiently captures the nostalgic vibes, even though its color palette is visibly too vibrant compared to the original's deeper color tones. Still, the nostalgic appeals remain fully intact while watching, and visually, I prefer these current character designs. Adding to that, the story's flow has not lost those chibi goofy reactions which brought fun to the narrative despite its very slow pace due to the heavy dialogue. Most of all, the world-renowned opening never fails to amaze me because it effectively anchors the sentimental feelings after all these years, bringing back a fond longing for this series.
