The new Kinnikuman series just started airing, so here's a thread for it.
For most of you unfamiliar with Kinnikuman, it is a massively influential superhero/wrestling manga which first serialized from 1979-1987 in Shonen Jump. The series later returned in a different magazine with the Kinnikuman Nisei series running from 1997-2011. Some of you may recognize Ultimate Muscle, which was the localized version of Kinnikuman Nisei. The creators, Yudetamago, returned to the original series in 2011, which is still ongoing and is the inspiration for the new anime. If you want to get started, the first episode of the new anime is a well done recap episode to get you up to speed.
Also, Oda is a confirmed Kinnikuman fan. Pandaman started as a character submission Oda made for the series.
