Ronin Warriors, known as Yoroiden Samurai Troopers in Japan, is coming back with a new sequel anime series 40 years after the original, and a new teaser trailer is highlighting the main cast coming in the new follow up. Ronin Warriors comes from a much earlier era of anime as Sunrise first debuted the series in Japan in the late 1980s, and was often cited as one of the first action anime series that fans outside of Japan truly got invested in. It might not get talked about quite a lot now, but the anime is getting ready to debut in front of a whole new wave of fans.
