#if nothing else I'd like at least one more bonus chapter on the Ayshe-Norman conflict because that resolution was embarrassing

Your recent tags made me realize that someday we're likely going to have to face some sort of remake for TPN. Why? Because the original will grow old enough to become a "classic" and they will want a newer generation to experience the same story that we grew up with. Sure the remake will likely not come close to how GOOD certain scenes in season 1 were. But the remake will have its OWN good scenes that we will come to cherish. And who are we to say "No" to letting a new generation experience this story?

Hmm! I’ve mentioned before how I was apprehensive about the matter, largely because of how much the presentation of S1 resonated with me and how the finale was expertly orchestrated for an incredible, emotionally satisfying payoff as an end note, but this ANN article by Jairus Taylor made me more optimistic about the idea after they argued the CloverWorks’ adaption doomed all subsequent seasons with the removal of internal monologues:

So while I absolutely adore the soundtrack and the atmosphere established by the original, I became more open to the idea that something new and worthwhile could be offered in remaking it while hopefully not suffering as much as the initial episodes of FMAB in terms of pacing. And this article made me believe that a remake isn’t entirely impossible:

Though with disappointing blu-ray sales for both seasons and S2 being the joke of Winter 2021, I’m not sure if any studio wants to touch it again for the time being:

Right now, while again I’m not against a hypothetical reboot despite my own bit of selfishness in not wanting to lose part of what made the series so enchanting and magical to me (it would absolutely gut me if they somehow didn’t have the rights to use Obata’s soundtrack and they came up with a new score for Isabella’s Lullaby), it seems “less greedy” to hope for a Shaman King situation:

where we would get maybe a standard volume’s worth or two of new chapters, with some time being invested in fleshing out the timeskips and/or more of the post-canon.
