![]() ![]() Birdy was Yuki's debut work, and because of a combination of Patlabor being very sucessful and a sense of dissatisfaction with how the manga was developing, he abandoned Birdy. The original manga was created by Masame Yuki, who is mostly known for Patlabor. But Birdy: the Mighty Decode has an interesting backstory, because yes, it is a reboot of an older OVA and manga. There are actually plenty of valid reasons for a studio to opt to remake or expand on an existing property, though I won't talk about them here. Cynics will say that this must mean there is a dearth of creativity among the studios after all, why else would anyone do a remake of something that was probably already good the first time around? Astro Boy was remade in 2003, Slayers surprised everyone by receiving another season, the seinen classic Golgo 13 has a new anime out, and even a few series I've never heard of are seeing new seasons and adaptations, like To Terra and Cobra. It should come as a surprise to exactly no one that as anime grows older, studios are rebooting older properties for a new generation of otaku. But as they try to balance out Senkawa's school and social life with Birdy's continuing investigation, a sinister plot by rogue aliens and power brokers in the entertainment industry is uncovered. The only way to save him is for Birdy and Senkawa to share Birdy's body, while Senkawa's original body is sent to the Federation's headquarters for repair. When Geega and Birdy clash in an abandoned warehouse, a high school student named Senkawa gets caught in the battle, and is accidentally killed by Birdy. Galactic federation investigator Birdy has finally found the villain Geega hiding on Earth. ![]() Related Series: Birdy the Mighty, Birdy the Mighty: Decode:02 Length: Television series, 13 episodes, 25 minutes minutes eachĭistributor: Currently unlicensed in North America.
