Hmm...interesting, I watched the first part and was kinda weirded out by it

, but I didnt think it was too bad. The animation was nice looking

Maybe the second part is worth seeing then.

I look at it as Japan and America having two diverging continuities much in the way of the Generation 1 Transformers cartoon.

Japan only aired 102 of the Old Toon episodes, ending their run at "Donatello's Bad Time" (they skipped some episodes and ran them completely out of order, hence how they only ran 102 episodes but ended on the 111th).

Of course, when Japan last left the Technodrome it was in the North Pole but when they next see it in the OVA it is at first underground and then in Dimension X. Wacky. The idea that they got it operational once more is probably the most likely scenerio.

With a continuity as lax as the original TMNT series and G1 TF in the states (thankyou oh mighty Unicron Singularity, TMNT needs something similar), I can forgive the inconsistencies in logic. Besides, treating them as seperate timelines is no fun (unless of course, like Japan's TF, it's either out of neccessity or just complete embarrasment)

Ah, yes. Wonder Woman and Batman.

Two of my fav comic book superheros. Definately looking forward to seeing both of these.

Same here! Finally some animated Wonder Woman on her own!

I am sceptical at best about batman becoming an anime. I have loved Batman for as long as I can remember and its always been a tie between him and the turtles as to who is my favorite comic book hero. I have come to despise MOST anime (while some is redeemable). I supose I have 4kids and more recent funimation to blame for that. I just realy hope this is done well.

*Drtooth* · 08-05-2007, 09:37 PM

As long as Batman doesn't transform into UltrasuperpowerGo Fight BattoMan, It's gonna be Okay.

Of course, i could care less about Wonder Woman. She's so.... dull.

*ZariusTwo* · 08-05-2007, 10:00 PM

Not when Miller is writing her

"Out of my way Sperm Bank"

The problem with Diana is that the writers always, ALWAYS, return to her "Kingdom Come" characterisation of a cold-hearted amazonian bitch because it's easier to write a hardened warrior than a woman. Then if female writers have a hold of her, they get the dynamic wrong and try to "humanise" her too much and she loses her strengths as both a stong willed female and as a warrior.

The best balance has come from her relationship with Superman in the comics, where she's the best friend, the girl next door who keeps Clark straight when Lois cannot. She can be the warrior in the heat of conflict where Superman is her equal, and then talk to him when the fight calms.

The way she treated Ted Kord's death was something of mild interest, and it's a pity he was killed off because the comedy that would stem from a limited series revolving around the trio of Booster, Beetle, and Diana would have made more money than "Countdown" guranteed.

It would have been nice to see Wonder Woman have her own animated series (much like Batman and Superman TAS), but this is the next best thing

I totally agree. I loved Wondy as a kid and am starting to rediscover my love of this character recently. I can't wait to see what Gail Simone has planned for her. My favorite versions of Wonder Woman so far have been the Lynda Carter series, George Perez's comic book run, and the Justice League cartoon.

Never had the pleasure of seeing the Lynda Carter WW show

but George Perez's Arcs, and the Justice League animated series were definitely good stuff

Am I the only one who thinks that Wonder Woman is totally boring?

Pick up a Greg Rucka run and then ask that same question. She can have her ups and downs like any other character I just think people have a harder time getting into her stories because of the way she is portrayed by some writers.
