Mahoujin Guru Guru (2017)
I can't believe it's happening, but it's true. One of my childhood anime 'Guru Guru' (Mahoujin Guru Guru) has a new anime adaptation!! The new reboot is not a sequel of the previous anime series but will start afresh from the first chapter of the original manga.
For those new to this anime here's the plot: When the seal confining the demon king Giri wears off, it's time for a hero to step up and defeat him. Nike, a young boy unwilling to accept a fate he never wanted, and Kukuri, a young witch from an ancient tribe, will travel to seal Giri again and save the world, RPG style.
While the plot may look kinda 'serious' you will find out the anime is really funny, mostly aimed at older children, full of comical interludes while keeping his original shounen / fantasy style.
Guru Guru was born as a manga by Hiroyuki Eto and first published on Montly Shonen Gangan magazine from 1992 to 2003, a sequel was later launched in 2012 on the Gangan Online website. The first anime series from 1994-95, turned into a film in 1996 and a sequel Doki Doki Densetsu Mahoujin Guru Guru on television.
Differences between the old and new animation:
You definitely can tell there's a huge improvement, and I love this new much modern and simple animation style.
