Well it's gotta be a hell of a lot better than Armored Adventures. God that show is all kinds of terrible.
I somehow doubt that. Western properties and Japanese execution have never really paid off. I doubt this is going to have the care and progressiveness that AA has.


The only care they took in AA was how to ride the coattails of a successful movie without having anything in common with it. AA is GARBAGE. Pure, unadulterated trash designed to sucker in kids that thought Robert Downey Jr's portrayal of a flawed billionaire finding a higher calling would find some reflection in a show about a stupid home schooled kid.

Besides, if Witchblade (even if they're not made by the same studio) showed us anything, it's that well done adaptations and homages to Western ideas can be done with heart and soul prevailing over cheap plots and the temptation to cash in on a license, decidedly unlike Armored Adventures.
