Seven different writers? Is that for episodes or for the core story? General experience is that the more writers on a core story, the more messed up and crappy it gets lol
That said, trailer looks appropriately full of action. I’m surprised that even though the main leads are billed as ‘main leads’, the trailer seems to be sharing a lot of time around with supporting cast.

I enjoyed the original film. Hard to see how they can squeeze 40 episodes from it, but if it’s subbed I’d give it a try.
