The point is new viewers, though. If you cannot understand it without reading the manga, that's an issue.

Ultimately, adapting :Re would be near-impossible because of the many plot holes. They would have to go with an original story, based on the anime continuity and using those versions of the characters. And Root A showed that they really couldn't manage things, since it left a lot of people confused.

A reboot is the better choice, as it would allow for a more accurate telling and actually adapting the material. I mean, FMA: Brotherhood was an absolutely GIFT as well Hellsing Ultimate.
