The era of cashing in on 90's nostalgia is upon us, and with it many classic animes are pumping sequels or reboots to get a piece of the money cake.
So to you, which are the best and worst revivals of classic franchises?
For me:
Best:
Dragon Ball
The franchise could very well live off their popularity without having to add a thing, yet after the disastrous Evolution, Toriyama decided to bring it back to clean it's name
2 pretty good movies later we have a 100+ series and a fuck ton of money that it's even giving One Piece a run for its money and has added a bunch of iconic new characters that blend together with the original cast and bring a lot of fun new dynamics
Evangelion:
Say what you want about 3.0 but the Rebuild of Evangelion is also a massive success compared to many attempts to revive similar franchises
Each movie was a succes and people still debate trying to make sense of Anno's fuckery and middle fingers throughout each movie
2.0 might be one of the series highest points IMHO, and
Worst
Digimon
Hey the Digimon cast is All Grown Up! And they have teenage problems like dating and boyfriends and meeting new friends and having fights over high school stuff!!
P...also there's a couple of Digimons fighting here and there, but don't worry, it won't distract you from the teenage drama you love so much.
Also this piece of shit won't have a formal mention from me

I love that the movie builds up Shinji character as a more traditional hero only to kick it in the nuts hard in 3.0
