You know, every time I see a Kinnikuman thread, it's always the same image and same one line post that's either "does anybody even know this" or "i don't want to form my own opinion, should i read this". It gets fucking tiring to see people talk so little about Kinnikuman and even when they do, they barely even talk about it and just go off spouting whatever wrestlers are best. They're all best, okay? (Except Nisei, they can all go fuck themselves)
I barely see anyone talking about the new series which is getting a translation, or the old series which is already translated. There's tons to talk about, like how the characters so much more fleshed out than others in most shounen shit, how their designs are more unique thanks to Yude stealing designs or how the art in the later series pretty much beats out other shonen since it conveys actual impact without putting up a million speedlines or sound effects.
Stepping away from brief threads having nothing to talk about, I keep hearing faggots talk about how Kinnikuman needs a reboot like Jojo or something. Aside from the fact that people want the same AIDs-riddled lepers that infest Jojo to infest Kinnikuman, I really don't see the need for a reboot. If Kinnikuman does ever get an anime, then it can use a few of the gag side stories before going full into wrestling with the Choujin OIympics. Keeping at least the gag stories that get referenced later on would be a nice boon to the hypothetical anime. But on the other hand, a hypothetical manga reboot would be fucking stupid.
Series today need an anime for people to care here.
Something like Tiger Mask W can bring a new fanbase and good threads.
So I hope they consider doing somethingand a new Captain Tsubasa series too

If Tiger Mask W's what could happen to Kinnikuman, then I'd rather hire someone to kill Yudetamago so that'd never happen.
Tiger Mask W fucking sucks. It's Diet Coke's Diet Coke, shit wrestling with small moments of actual action covered in heaping layers of unimportant, boring shit and bland characters. Besides, Kinnikuman already has an anime of sorts, Ultimate Muscle. That ought to wet anyone's appetite for wrestling.

So don't you want an anime then?
They can redo the original one first arcs on a relatively short anime.
I'm a big fan of the franchise,but you need something to talk about you outside your loyal and probably old fanbase at this point.
reminder that robin mask is the greatest wrestler of all time and that kinnikuman cheated in their match

I'm not saying I DON'T want an anime. Hell, I'd kill to see something like the 20 Million Powers VS Most Dangerous Combo or Muscle Brothers Vs The Stray Devil Combo animated in a modern climate, just NOT done by the jerkoffs behind Tiger Mask W or much in the same way, i.e adding in heap times of unnecessary slice of life and pretending pedestrian moves are super deadly finishers that land people in the hospital, sorry if I didn't make that clear.
I'm not sure I'd describe the Kinnikuman fanbase as old or even loyal when compared to other fanbases. Ignoring the overlap with people who're just fans of Ultimate Muscle and westernized Kinkeshi (M.U.S.C.L.E), I'd probably say the Kinnikuman fanbase is maybe more than half a decade old.
