How fans reacted to the new anime project leak
Fans were thrilled by the prospect of a new anime. Given that the manga series was very old, fans did not think an anime adaptation was possible, even during its 40th-anniversary celebrations. However, the manga might soon receive a new anime project. Thus, fans have already begun hoping the anime would do justice to the original manga.
Meanwhile, other fans of the series began theorizing about the anime's studio. Given that the Fist of the North Star's art style is similar to JoJo's Bizarre Adventures, many fans believed David Productions might be animating the new anime project. However, a confirmation for the same is yet to be made.
Some other fans were confused about what the anime would be about. The leak stated that the series was set to receive a new anime project. However, it does not mention if it would be a new story or a reboot of the original anime.
Lastly, some fans began doubting if the information was true. Thus, they tried to enquire about the leak's validity. However, given one's anonymous sources, no leaker announced the source.
