Production
In 2023 Studio Trigger has announced a new animation project they have been working on and the announcement trailer will come out very soon. Later then, a teaser trailer of the new show Cybor Kuro-Chan R has officially revealed making a comeback of the robotic cat. In the teaser we are first shown a logo for Studio Trigger in a white blank space, nothing happens until...Gunshots fired out of Kuro-Chan's Gatling Gun breaking the wall explodeing behind him and revealing himself as he blows out the smoke of his gun then walking away from the audience while making a smurk and a chuckle. Then it cuts to black and the tag line reveals saying "The Strongest Cat is Fianlly Back." revealing the logo of the reboot and the release date. Old Japanese fans of CKC rejoiced and excitement as they waited so long for a comeback of their favorite cyborg cat as they grew up watching the show with Nostalgia and Hype. However, the western audience were not that excited and instrested to the show and because Cyborg Kuro Chan never made it into America, it's likely that the reboot will introduce Western audience to the show.

During devoloped on the Reboot, the Creator Naoki Yokouchi possibly has plans for a revival or a reboot series of the manga. Until one day Hiroyuki Imaishi contacted the creator of the asking him if he was interested in doing a reboot for the series cause Hiroyuki liked the series so much as the show has a lot of vibe into his works like the cartoonish comedy and action. The arist very much agrees then they have a deal.

The Reboot still retains the Slapstick Humor combined with action in it, but unlike the original anime by the now defunct Studio Bogey, The animation is more fluid and smoother than the original series had and the art in this show is much more vibrant the series also adds 3d elements too during action sequences. Much like 3D animated movies nowadays, the animation style is inspired by Spider Man Into the Spiderverse as Hiroyuki Imaishi is a fan of the movie and its sequel. The Original Cast of the anime reprise their roles for the series as well as an English Dub cast produce by Funimation. The Creator comes back and works on this show as a producer for the series. The character design and art direction are done by NelNal (who worked on Deltarune and Ratatan) giving the characters slight a redesign while still having the same cartoony style.
