This came out in the 90s

Ah yes, the Riddick franchise also did it. I can't think of any other examples. A shame that trend didn't go anywhere, it was neat.

Has Star Trek ever had an animu? I want to know if it had an anime animu

*sdp* · 08-17-2021, 10:58 PM

Star Trek isn't known in Japan to have an anime, they don't even know it exists. It really isn't that big of a franchise, smaller than TMNT even.

Are those comics adaptations of the 1977–1983 Star Wars movie trilogy?

*Allio* · 09-22-2021, 05:23 AM

Watched the first 5 episodes (going on break for a breather not to muddy the anthology)

Honestly really enjoyed it. I’m going to need the group behind the live action Ruroni Kenshin films to make a film about The Duel. I know episode 2 isn’t going to work for everyone but I liked the SoL story. Episode 3 was Trigger being Trigger at it’s insane glory looking like primare. 4 and 5 just fit right in with Star Wars.

Really liked it. Can’t wait to watch the rest.

Yes, as I own the full set somewhere here.

So far I'm only 2 episodes in but I'm enjoying it. Fun fact the two episodes that I've watched so far have voice actors that were in the 4Kids Turtle series. Michael Sinternikolas and Marc Thompson have bit roles.

*CyberCubed* · 09-22-2021, 03:26 PM

Watching through these I’m surprised how much lore breaking there is. Are these intended to be canon? How did they stand on Star Destroyers with no air to breathe?

*Allio* · 09-22-2021, 03:36 PM

Show isn’t adhere to the canon. But most of them can fit in if you try (2 are pre episode 1 and 4 are post order 66.) the twins were modified, just assume that was part of their modifications

Glad that trigger went twonextremes. the Twins felt like their more over the top shows like Kill la kill, but then The Elder felt more in line with the original trilogy in action and grounded.

I'm seeing a lot of hate from these from Star Wars fans who don't like anime, which is understandable, most of these shorts went full animu. There's not a lot of crossover between Star Wars fans and anime fans, especially the older Star Wars fans from the 70's and 80's and early 90's who grew up before anime became a big thing in the west. A lot of them are complaining about the "over the top" animation and how it doesn't feel like Star Wars.

Sometimes I forgot how many people still hate anime in the west, mainly because I hang around of fandoms. But then you go to the more casual side and you see how despised anime is.

*sdp* · 09-23-2021, 03:35 PM

it's because of boomers who couldn't handle something being done in another country that we got stuff like this in the early 2000's since they thought kids were just as racist as their parents

*sdp* · 09-22-2021, 04:59 PM

The Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars series were very over the top and heavily influenced by animu. I mean I understand anime can sometimes be very stylized which can contrast with the style of the movies but I mean come one there's a star wars lego cartoon and fans embrace that silly ass crap. Not to mention we have the star wars sequels, if something is good in the star wars era they should just embrace it. Most hardcore star wars fans are just boomers though, they were literally adults when Episode I came out.
