The old OVA is a favorite of mine, so 2 eps in I reckon this at least has a chance.

Though, I don't know if the music will hold up as it looks like it has a different person at the helm with nothing terribly reassuring compared to the amazing score the original was sporting----"Man of Peerless Strength" was one of the greatest and most fitting tracks of that era of anime and whatnot while remaining stuck in my head to this very day.

I know it is probably too much to hope for this to be on a Hunter X Hunter or JoJo level as far as well wrought adaptations (of adaptations) goes---but so long as it has a better fate than the the likes of Guin Saga from awhile back then that'll do nicely.

I got a chuckle of out what had to be an intentional nod to the upcoming Musou game when Daryun was trying to save Arslan all "special" this time around.

So long as they don't ultimately pull a Guin Saga on us, which Twelve Kingdoms is essentially shade of from what I've heard(also a good anime I enjoyed way back when), all will hopefully be well.

So I assume the manga and anime adaptations of this are awful?

The anime at least had a lot of stuff going for it in terms of spectacle, at times, but ultimately finished out poorly in terms of a stopping point in terms of what episodes we got for future seasons that, quite possibly, will never come. Nowhere near as much of a "Ha ha, ya'll suck, go get books" as the infamous tail end of the anime for Groove Adventure RAVE---but yeah. No idea what the current state of any sort of manga tied to it might be.
