Houshin Engi was definitely a surprise given how vastly underrated it is so its either case like Ushio to Tora where its more of passion project/anniversary celebration or Shueisha just spun a roulette and it got lucky either way it does open the possibility of other 90's Jump manga getting remakes. Bleach is kinda in a weird territory right now if they wanted to pursue continuing the anime then the best time would have been last year when the manga was about to end but now I'll say if something doesn't get announce for next year to coincide with the release of the live action film then the writing is on the wall but if the film becomes a Gintama size hit then its chances will be much better. I'm a bit afraid of a Slam Dunk remake to be honest since Toei still retains all rights to Slam Dunk and they'll be the ones responsible for it and given how Sailor Moon Crystal came out I don't want their hands on it unless they put an honest effort into it.Your absolutely right that several series have not been revived like Slam Dunk and Rurouni Kenshin that have higher sales per volume than Bleach. I was merely using Hoshin Engi to prove that you can never fully write off any series. None of us know how Shueisha makes decisions over what gets revived. To be honest I am still surprised that Slam Dunk has not received a new anime considering how important it is for sports manga and Jump in general whilst less popular series have received a new anime.
