His work frequently included geometric shapes like circles, rectangles, and triangles, leading to his reputation as a pioneer of scientifically oriented design.Onosato was born in Iida, Nagano. His family moved to Kiryu, Gunma when he was a child. He studied Western-style painting under Seifū Tsuda. 

In 1935 he had his first exhibition, which was with the Nika Association. The same year he formed a group called "Kokusho" with three other artists who studied under Tsuda. In 1937, he helped to found the Free Artists Association (Jiyu Bijutsuka Kyokai). (wiki)

If Katekyo Hitman Reborn ever gets remade, this is what needs to happen.

Yeah this is gonna be a long one

Katekyo Hitman Reborn (Which I will abbreviate to khr for convience sake) was a manga published in Shounen Jump Weekly (yes that Shounen Jump, where all the big boys come from) and created by Amano Akira who did both the writing and illustrations. It began appearing in the magazine in 2004 where it had a solid eight year run until 2012 where it finished up with 409 chapters and 42 physical volumes. Only sixteen of these volumes were released in English by Viz Media.

The series was incredibly popular in Japan and even outside, becoming one of the best-selling Shounen Jump manga with over 30 million tankobon copies being sold worldwide. At it's peek, khr was at the same level as some of the shounen giants such as One Piece and even Naruto, with it's popularity even spawning spin off games and a spot in crossover games, the most famous being J-Stars Victory VS.

If you've seen the anime or read the manga, you'll likely know the plot, and reading all this is a big waste of time.  But for the ones who have clicked on this post without knowing what it is, here's a brief summary. Khr centers around a loser middle schooler named Sawada Tsunayoshi (shortened to Tsuna) who sucks at everything from school to sports, having no friends and tripping over his own feet, who one day receives a home tutor thanks to his incredibly concerned mother. This home tutor is the titular Reborn, a baby with a fedora and a gun. Reborn is a hitman, and has actually been sent by the Vongola family, a mafia family that's regaled at the most powerful in the world (and this is a world where the mafia is rather powerful in itself vs ours which the mafia is rather small these days beside small areas). He has been sent to make Tsuna the next boss, as the current boss has no descendants left and Tsuna is the 'sole' descendent of the first boss. So, hence, Reborn has to take the loser Tsuna (deemed Dame-Tsuna which means No Good Tsuna) and make him worthy of the spot as Don.

A mafia story that has supernatural elements (because, yes, I forgot to mention but the mafia have superpowers) sounds like a really interesting battle shounen. If you've seen anything to do with this series, you've probably either seen little gun toting Reborn or Tsuna fully decked out with metal plated gloves and a flame on his head. Yeah, that's what most people think when they get into it, myself included.

But what you have to understand is that khr started as a *gag manga*. What that means, is that it was a comedy slice of life with the most over=the-top, explicitly Japanese humor, with some cringe worthy jokes that very much overstay their welcome. This tone continues on for a solid 61 chapters, before the tone shifts completely with a darker plotline that only thickens as time goes on. Even so, occasionally the humor and jokes remain, although different. As many people on this website, especially fic readers are aware, there is such a thing as 'crack humor', and there is a sub genre off that called 'crack treated seriously'. 'Crack treated seriously' is what the rest of the manga is. Amano Akira has, creatively, used some of the bigger jokes and gags and given them actual feet to stand on. Remember how Reborn is a baby, yeah, there's a reason for that now. Remember the time travel bazooka? Well that's a huge plot point now.

In the anime, the slice of life stuff is spread out. From episode 1 to episode 20, it only adapts bits and pieces of the first 61 chapters, including the most important ones for character introductions. The first 10 are the most important, I won't openly recommend you skip to episode 20, but I did it so you are free to as well. The rest of the slice of life, which many wrongly interpret as 'filler' is spread across the first 100 episodes between major battle shounen arcs. On the other side of things, after the first 61 chapters, most of the manga is full out battle shounen, with occasional jokes and slice of life elements peppered in and some gags that have no story meaning hanging around like annoying flies.

Both of these approaches have positives and negatives. On the one hand, in the anime you have sudden breaks between massive, high stakes arcs to end up with gag comedy episode with missing character development. In the manga, you have to slog through a full 61 chapters of overused jokes to get to, what some would call, the 'good stuff'. While others do have a special place in their heart for the cringe of the first part, a general audience finds it hard to invest their time in such an endeavor to work through.

If there were to be a remake/new adaption of the manga, there would have to be several changes made. I'm sure it would benefit from these changes and some need to be made to fit into the general landscape of the current world of anime.

First off, the animation studio that originally animated the series was Artland, a company that hasn't released an anime since 2017 and there last successful one was Mushishi Zoku, the movie spin off airing in 2015. But, the problem with this anime studio is the poor job they did in adapting the source material. The artstyle is incredibly lacking, and is likely due to low budget and man power. The second problem they brought with them is the harsh censorship the entire anime got, shown in these pictures below (with another major change being how they cut out a massive character arc that was likely cut due to the grim nature of it)

This shot below is completely missing from the anime.

The new adaption would have to be (and more than likely would be) picked up by a different animation company. My preferred choice would be one that specializes in fight choreography and also stays loyal to distinct art styles. If you think you've seen Amano Akira's style before, it could be because you've watched Psycho Pass, where she did the art and character designs.

The original seiyus were brilliant, however, especially Neeko as Reborn, Kondou Takashi as Hibari Kyoya, and Iida Toshinobu as Rokudo Mukuro, only to name a few. The music is incredible as well, with Sahashi Toshihiko on music The most popular piece of music from this anime is Tsuna Awakens. Several of the anime's openings are spectacular as well, seeming to have the budget that the core anime didn't achieve until possibly the middle where it's animation was more so spotty in terms of quality. In a new adaption, my desire would be for as many of these seiyus to return and old tracks from the OST to remain while new ones are created.

The trouble with adapting such a giant as khr would be the pacing and slice of life vs battle shounen that it has. Merging the two together to make it appealing to both old fans and outsiders would take a lot of work, patience, and belief. It would do better to stick closer to the manga's darker tone and remove less necessary gags but keep some of the more beloved ones (such as Hibari's 咬み殺す(Kamikorosu or "I'll bite you to death").

The condensing of the character introductions is very important if the anime is to become seasonal. One could argue that keeping the original pacing wouldn't be so bad when you're airing weekly for months on end, but when you're producing 12/24 episode seasons, filling up 20 episodes with character development and slice of life will turn away audiences who are there for the action. Heightening stakes, keeping in core serious character aspects, and speeding through less important characters to do more of a show don't tell approach, can get more general audiences engaged in the series early rather than possibly loosing a fair few viewers due to the slow start.

If a remake did this, it would definitely give the series a popularity boost and get it back on people's radars as one of the best shounen's of SJW and the mid-2000s.

My opinion: I haven't read the manga yet, due to being pretty busy, but I watched the anime earlier this year, and I have to say that is was pretty good. I was worried that, since it has 203 episodes, it would end up stretching a bit like other popular shounen series, but I'm pleased to say that it didn't. It certainly gives off a different vibe in the beginning, though as many have said, near the end of the series it begins to take on a more normal shounen appearance. Despite this, I enjoyed the plot, the art (as weird as it was in the beginning), and most of all, the characters. The growth that the characters exhibit in this series is absolutely amazing. Tsuna, who is pretty much the most useless character ever, ends up turning into a badass through all the challenges he and his friends face.

Recommendation: I definitely recommend this!! Not only is the anime amazing, but the fanart in the fandom, as well as the voice actors' interactions with each other just make the whole experience even better. I don't know how many times I cried from laughter while watching the anime and ReboCon videos, or how many times I cheered Tsuna and his friends on while I was on the edge of my seat. It's a wonderful series, and I look forward to the time (hopefully soon) that I can start the manga.
