Pretty sure tenchi muyo series were continuous. I know one of them they went to tokyo, so it could hardly be construed as remakes.<br/><br/>I need to find the manga for spice and wolf somewhere online. Manga prices in the states is so silly it doesn't warrant serious attention. That or read the light novel, but the idea of reading anything of length on a computer screen is just ugh...<br/><br/>The Disappearance of Suzimiya Haruhi was suitably epic. Lupin the III, the Last Job was excellent. Plenty of ninjas and goemon being awesome. Plenty of ninjas and explosions and Lupin being his usual self.
