  • New Thundercats series coming 2019

    https://www.newsarama.com/40002-thun...work-show.html

    This looks soooo much like Steven Universe.

    Yeah, it does O_O

    On the one hand...it could be another Teen Titans Go or modern PPG. On the other hand...they already tried to make a modernized, more serious TC, and failed miserably (in part because of the good guys' society being horribly racist against anyone but the ruling species).

    Hrm. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

      True, but one of the things I liked about that series was the Lion-O character trying to rectify the sins of the past to have all of the species come together to fight a greater evil. I wish they didn't quit on it after 1 season; It had a great animation style and voice cast. Maybe with all of the series coming back (Samurai Jack, Young Justice) this version could at least be able to finish its storyline?

      This upcoming version, if it's done with the original's show elements with the occasional comedy, like Justice League Action, it could be good...or it could be another TTG copy. We'll see.

          RichS - Agreed. It did, however, put a bad taste into one's mouth. TBH, for me, it made it harder to see their people as the good guys, no matter how well-intentioned Lion-O may have been.

            I totally agree with that.

                  TS -- In opposite news, rumor has it that they're bringing back/possibly continuing Teen Titans. Not TT Go!, but Teen Titans. *crosses fingers*

                    Did Toei do any animation on this series? That opening has a serious Toei vibe.

                      dendawg- Not unless it was under a different name. Anime News Network sez:

                      Animation:
                      AIC (uncredited)
                      Anime R (uncredited)
                      HANHO (uncredited)
                      Hong Ying Animation (uncredited)
                      Wang Film Productions (uncredited)

                      Animation Production: Pacific Animation Corporation




                      To the best of my knowledge, the intro was done by a Korean group (presumably Hong Ying or Wang Film). The rest of the show itself was animated primarily in Japan.
