From someone who watched the original recently, watched the remake and even read the manga at some point: Watch at your own discretion.
The animations were cheaply drawn, mostly static images with a camera perspective and a few particle systems, there is no combat flow, logic, or progression.
The plot is extremely fast paced, written certainly for kids: One episode Yoh is the weakest, trains for half a day, becomes strongest... oh well.
Ana is supposed to have infinite mana and power, never uses it.
The fights have no consequences whatsoever, whoever dies, gets revived, healed etc.
Overall it felt like a hack and slash game with no logic, flow or progression, everyone throws random abilities and sometimes things happen, sometimes they do not because of another made up rule on the spot. Ufff. I liked the original a lot more.
