I remember this game from my childhood. I had so much fun with it as a kid, and the interesting environments. Never got the same level of enjoyment out of the TH series. Read more

The series is a joke, picture says everything about how lazy the writing is.

This is a nicely done write-up! It got me thinking about something... Are reboots like this actually aimed at fans of the original or are they trying to capture new audiences like the original? I thought this show looked cool when I was younger but I was just a little outside the target demo and it never got its hooks… Read more

Can you tell us when “Dexter’s Laboratory” was remade similarly to Teen Titans? I don’t remember it making a return. Read more

For me, the question is whether Cartoon Network really does know what they’re doing. Their Powerpuff Girls reboot is, in a word, terrible - devoid of nearly everything that made the original special. Read more

On hoping that it will be successful, moving it to adult swim is promising since it protects it from a lot of interference modern reboots have suffered on CN. Read more

If they replace Mako with the same voice actor they replaced him with on Avatar: The Last Airbender I think it will be okay. Obviously no one can compare to the standard Mako set, he was a VA genius, but I feel like his replacement in Avatar was at least able and not overly distracting. Read more

i’m hoping they get Greg Baldwin to do the voice of AKU he was who replaced Mako on Avatar TLAB he was so good many of us didn’t know about Mako’s passing till “Tales of Ba Sing Sae” aired Read more

One of the casualties of the endless repackaging and marketing of nostalgia is the idea that you’re supposed to move on in life - that there are things you’re meant to love for awhile and then to grow past. But the current financial architecture of the arts and media industry is set up to deny that idea, because the… Read more

I started rewatching it on Hulu last night after binge watching Over The Garden Wall... which was also excellent by the way. 10 episodes long, wonderful show. Read more

Your samurai jack story reminded me of my love for samurai x (ruroni kenshin). I saw it on Latin America in the 90s... so way before it came to toonami and had all the gore and everything else toonami tended to remove, then I learned and saw the Christian arc on the internet. I liked samurai jack and will be waiting… Read more

Im still wondering what the deal with that hat is.

I’m really excited for this. I do have some doubts about the adult swim team in 2016 however based on the treatment of metalocalypse. brendon small really wants to do it, he has the ideas, and has been dancing with the network for a few years now until he was finally given a hard no (source: http://music.mxdwn.com/2016… Read more

Concerning DBZ: I feel like it’s sometimes lost on Western audiences that it’s meant to be an action comedy, which is why a lot of the so called filler episodes tend to be dialogue heavy. Of course I’m not here to defend the Garlic Junior saga, but a lot of the episodes in the Frieza saga where the plot isn’t really… Read more

Samurai jack still comes on adult swim up here in Canada. I watch it with my two year old who hates to go to sleep. It's the only show that really holds his attention (aside from We Bare Bears). Read more

I tried getting into contact with Genndy Tartakovsky a few times in the past after the death of Mako. I found that I could replicate Aku’s voice (though not for long periods of time cause it starts to hurt the throat) and was hopping to help lend my voice if he was planning on reviving the show. Unfortunately because… Read more

Just don’t make it into a CGI piece of trash. Not saying CGI animation can’t be good, its just that every animated feels they need to use it.

My planned reply was “Don’t screw this up.” You beat me to it this time.... Read more
