The original was so firmly linked to the time it was made, hard to see a remake doing well.  I hope I am wrong though.

I think it would work if it has more of a drawn look than the usual cgi kinda look that a lot of newer stuff has. The story could use little tweaks here and there to trim the fluff and it will probably be fine.

I'm thinking more of the content - it was the quintessential late seventies / early eighties apocalypse universe with martial arts thrown in.  I can't see them getting the vibe correct any longer.

It’s gonna be tough to get the look since most anime these days looks too clean. The old one had a gritty look that helped sell the apocalyptic feel. As far as story, I think that’s really gonna be up to the writers. One thing I’ve noticed with a lot of these retro shows making comebacks or reboots is that the majority don’t feel like they were worth the trouble and that the original often is still the better choice. But sometimes it’s still fun to see them try.

I think you nailed it there.  The modern look just doesn't work with this particular story.
