I guess it would have been easier to first produce an ordinary feudal-Japan Usagi Yojimbo series, then Space Usagi.

The title is bugging me.

It's Yojimbo not Yujimbo.

looks promising.

Although, cross over with rise? .... probably not

since its CG? maybe the TMNT 2012 can come back for a cross over.

Probably won't be the same one we saw in the TMNT 2012 series, but a different one.

You can be sure this series won't have a TMNT crossover. No freakin' way. It''ll be handled on a much smaller scale than your average toon, let alone something as huge as TMNT or any other Viacom monster property, so there'd be no budget for renting them out, so to speak. I don't see them doing Stan & the respective airing network any favors, I'm sure he was properly compensated for the use of his character, after all.

We might see a version of Usagi in Rise, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. & in the event it happened, it wouldn't be this particular version, but one made specifically for Rise, like in Ciro's series.

I wouldn't abandon hope so soon, Stan postet some more information at the usagi yojimbo dojo (that's the official fan site).. he said gaumont is the oldest movie company in the world. And the production company so far involved is the One behind the saw movie series es well as the director of the new aquaman theatrical feature film..so there seems to more than enough Money involved i guess. They need stations buying and running their product I think..oh, forgot to mention DARK HORSE ENTERTAINMENT is also co-producing the series...

I'm aware of all that. I think you're grossly undervaluing the TMNT brand.

The first Nickelodeon series did crossovers with the MWS series without any problems.

I don't known.. i just thought you meant that there perhaps was Not enough financial power behind this new effort to make this usagi show beautiful or exciting...i m aware that the tmnt is an exceptional property.
However if done right you can achieve more with less sometimes...
Lets hope for the best

Never said that, yo. Only that I suspect they wouldn't have the excess cash to get a TMNT license.

This will at least make it more famous, beyond "Usagi? Is it that samurai rabbit who appears at TMNT sometimes"?

And worst of all is if it happened they'd make them use the Rise version of the turtles

I'm most excited for a toyline, the Usagi toy from the 2012 line never made it to where I live, I think they stopped in the wave after the second movie and gave up on TMNT here and I couldn't justify how expensive it was to import it.

Hope the show is good, my only familiarity is the crossovers and a few panels I've read online over the years or wiki profiles/synopsis. Can't say I love the character but I'm open.

I don't think it would be about the cash, I'm sure Viacom would lend him for cheap if they really thought they benefited from the partnership. That's the problem, I don't see Viacom caring to lend their property for what they see will have little to no value to them and would be afraid that it could harm the image they want of the turtles.

Too bad really, it'd be nice for the TMNT to return the favor but Viacom likely sees it as "we've been promoting this creation that directly competes with our brand".


I'd love to be completely wrong and to see the TMNT in an usagi cartoon though.

I don't think Usagi would appear in Rise anyway.

I would guess first season of Rise would have no returning characters, all original besides the turtles/april/splinter. Season 2 might get returning characters because of fans whining.

I'm really excited for this Usagi show, I hope it's not too watered down, on the level of most action cartoons nowadays would be great, I just hope it's not something like say Stretch Armstrong, ugh. Time to forget this show exists so I'm surprised when the first trailer shows up that I had forgotten about. I hate early announcements.

To me, it seems his appearance at TMNT has become mandatory in all animated series.

I think it's completely at the discretion of Sakai though, and whether said series is worthy of the Usagi cameo. Let's hope Rise is...

Let's hope the character will at least be refered to as Miyamoto Usagi this time.

I so would have liked to have seen a full TV show of that.
