I loved Thundercats when I was a kid. I will definitely be checking this out for the sake of nostalgia.

I've got to say, the animation looks quite crisp and clean and the character designs look well done, I just wonder how much CN will edit out of this series.

I watched the original Thundercats (years and years ago) so it will be interesting to see what is different with this new version.

Either way, watching the preview was great alone just for nostalgia though.

Can't wait for this, glad to finally get a date as I've been looking forward to when this was coming since that trailer came out and only a month away.

Love the art style/designs and the way they are animating so far in the trailer as well as the big story arc they appear to be going for.

I never got into the original series when it first aired, but this version looks pretty sharp. I will also be DVRing it.

Well it looks like the Thundercats and looks good but for one who watch the original one it seem promising

I pity Japan. Laughing

Should be none. It's made for America.

Unless they go the Japanese route: air the edited version; save the unedited version for DVD and Bluray. Laughing

*sigh* Why couldn't the new Voltron have looked this good?

Yeah, I wasn't a huge fan as a kid either. I had a few figures, but it wasn't on TV where I lived so it wasn't something I was a huge fan of. I tried watching an episode as an adult and couldn't really get over the bad acting. This does look pretty great, though, so I do plan on watching it.

But of course. Those unusually localised clouds of steam in Cheetara's shower scene are only in the TV version. Very Happy

Damn I hope there's some originality in this and not just a rehash. Whether it's new story or characters. Something.

It's cool studio 4°C though.
