In January 2012, Nikkei announced on its website that a remake of the anime series under production by Shin-Ei Animation and Indian production company Reliance MediaWorks. The announcement was part of a move to produce several remakes of popular anime television series to be broadcast across television stations in the Asian market to counteract Japan's stagnating domestic anime marketplace due to its declining birthrate. The new series began airing in India and Indonesia on May of the same year. (Source: Wikipedia)
