Yeessh, that looks rough as hell. Or rather, it doesn't match the image I have of the comics at all, though I must admit it's been over a decade since I read the comic.
Far as I remember, it's not as extreme but kinda like Cat Shit One.
Meaning they used anthropomorphized animal characters to soften the blow, but it was less like a Disney animated heroes thing, and more like a portrayal of Japanese historical samurai/ronin tales. What do you guys think?

This is not Usagi Yojimbo. Inspired by, maybe. But it's not an adaptation. I guess that's to be expected since the show's name isn't Usagi Yojimbo. But a part of me really hoped it would be.

With so many executive producers in the credits, I wonder if this is going to be a too-many-cooks situation. I hope Usagi Yojimbo's good name doesn't get soiled by this.
