This was the anime to get me into anime.
I'd burst with joy if we got a Season 3 announcement or even a new film.

Pretty funny bit for Studio WIT, known for avoiding long adaptations and handing future seasons to other studios, to be the one rebooting One Piece.

Have we ever had a new season of an anime 17/18 years after the previous? Any new announcement of an anime over a decade after the last season is almost certainly going to be a themed cafe/event, OVA or remake at best.

Rurouni Kenshin, though given the mangakas proclivities the current run of the manga should have been cancelled and a new anime should never have been green lit. Act Age got canned for less and that was also due to one of the creators proclivities.

Are you talking about Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan (2023)? According to MAL that is a remake of the original adaptation rather than a new season.

It will be continuing on beyond where the previous adaptation finished.

Cardcaptor Sakura finished in 2000 and then we got Clear Card in 2018.
I guess Dragon Ball Z to Dragon Ball Super may count too.

there have been long gap remakes like Fruits Basket (18 years), stuff that updates the source material like Osumatsu-san (26 years), or shows set in the same universe that are wild reimaginings like Gatchaman Crowds (34 years later). it's hard to tell what a new season is sometimes, like how is Devilman Crybaby related to the original series, or Trigun Stampede?

Higurashi: When They Cry did a pretty funny goof of this with the Gou/Sotsu series in 2020. It was initially marketed as a remake but it was actually a stealth sequel.
The first Astro Boy anime aired in 1963, the second in 1980 and the third in 2003.
The cancelled Tokyo Babylon 2021 series would also have had a long gap if it was made, as the OVA ended in 1994.

Wow that long ago...
I think I was the only person around here who enjoyed the sequal as well.

I only just watched it last month and thought it was fantastic. Really interesting direction to take the series.
