I have so much nostalgia for the series. The fandom itself is still going strong and active in both the West and Japan. Imagine my surprise to see the fanfics still alive when I saw fics for series that long since ended decades ago dwindle or have very few fanfics.
It's nearly a decade since its finale yet people still have so much fondness for it.
Seeing people wanting either a continuation ala Bleach or a reboot ala FMAB, it could go either way frankly.
The last two arcs haven’t been animated. However, remaking the anime would mean new fans and also cutting off fillers, and consolidating it into a cohesive work.
Both have their pros and cons. I mean I got into the series while the manga was during the Future Arc because I know I was waiting for future updates on the Inheritance Ceremony arc. I was around for the anime finale.
I really hope that the anime returns so there can be a wave of new fans.
While I can't say the writing isn't that great, I can say the characters are great. I still love the colorful personalities and the devastation they wrought. I think the appeal of the characters and the Dying Will Flames made it so enduring. The Vongola insanity had always been such a big part of the found family that it's no wonder that people love it.
Really, I still remember the number shorthand nicks today. Ah, 1827 my beloved. How I still love that ship.
I have a lot of nostalgia for this series and still hold love for it.
When Bleach is returning, a series that had been previously criticized heavily in the tail end of its run especially, then KHR has a chance of coming back as an anime.
Akira Amano was surprised when she saw fans showing off their rings on Twitter and expressed gratitude to those who remained stalwart to the series long since it ended.
The fandom is still active and going strong. I got KHR fics on my backburner as well on my bookmarks. Imagine my surprise given its activity. Sure there are daily updates on series such as Code Geass and Hunter x Hunter but this is KHR, a series that while popular isn’t popular enough. It didn’t reach JJK acclaim or was particularly infamous.
I remember the sexism criticisms very well. But that alone doesn’t make it infamous.
I remember how hyped everyone was for the arcs.
KHR was popular but not popular enough. People in Japan remembered it fondly but I don’t think it was notorious or famed for something groundbreaking or a good story. FMA is beloved the world over and has better things than KHR.
Still, KHR has an active fanbase.
By the by, Sky Harmony isn't a thing in canon but a popular headcanon and pervasive enough that fanon thinks it to be true. This is the same extent for quirk suppressant cuffs. Seriously if that were the case, Twice would've been saved with a literal slap on the wrist with handcuffs instead of murder. That way he can't use his quirk that would've killed everyone. The key would've been elsewhere or a needle in a haystack so that way Twice or any of the LOV can't get a hold of it to free himself. I'm sorry but no quirk suppressants exist in canon because if that was the case, Twice would've been saved in that way at least.
I'm digressing but just know that fanon can be pervasive to the point that something like Sky Harmonization isn't a thing in canon. Sky Harmony isn't a thing, okay, just keep it in mind if you see it in fanfiction.
While a new anime won’t be announced anytime soon, I know that the anime company behind them and Akira Amano know people want KHR back in some new anime form.
Still, I see fans speaking up on AniTube and anime social media about the possibility of a new anime and seeing people discuss and reminisce about KHR. If anything, the demand will keep on growing.
There’s new merch coming out and supposedly a Twitter account for the anime so there’s a definite yes in the future.
We don’t have any actual confirmation now but it’s possible. We might have to wait two to three years at most since it took virtually that long for the new Bleach anime to be announced.
I really hope with everything I could gather that it’s completely viable we are getting a new KHR in the future. I’m excited if muted about it but I hope we see further news about it.
Godoka, I hope to get my hands on the new KHR merch, specifically Hibari. KHR merch was very few and in between and I felt like I have to search for a needle in the haystack for a good one. The only KHR merch I got is Gokudera’s Vongola Storm ring.
