How do we even know this is Usagi? An article I saw on looper.com, (not sure how reliable they are) states this is Yuichi which is a descendant of Usagi. I don't know what to make of any of this. I'm not expecting this to be any good. If it is, I'll be surprised.

Another thing is Usagi is a last name also, The original was Miyamoto Usagi.

The new characters full name is Yuichi Yojimbo, it appears they messed up the name of the character as they state her great grand father being Usagi Yogimbo. Also great news, it's just been confirmed that Yuichi will be involved in a love triangle with Okami Oki a wolf and Kitsune Kyand? and the first episode leads to the rivalry of these two for Yuichi over who is going to be able to date her. There isn't going to be a an actual villain they fight and instead they will work out different social issues they are having in their town.

It'll be interesting to see what tone will they go for with this series.

Hope the TMNT appear. Wonder what design they’d use. Maybe a new one.

They won't, I'm assuming Viacom's license fee is a little too high for this show's budget. Even if it isn't, I don't think they would think it's worth it.

Here's the Comic Con 2021 panel about The Usagi Chronicles.



At the end of the panel they show a teaser from the show, Its two clips actually, There are parts where they tell some of the flashbacks through 2D animation, and the other clip is in CGI.

Mhhm, the style looks quite different, flat. I was hoping for something more in line with the style of Stan Sakai.

There isn’t any artistic justification for why an Usagi series would not have Usagi Yojimbo as the “star”? It’s baffling because it’s not like he ever had his own tv series. I’ll probably give it a look but I suspect this one won’t last long at all.

Most netflix shows end early unless they're huge breakout hits.

This show is being described as an action comedy.

2D art looks quite good.
CGI models look quite meh.

If the show would be mix of both it will be ****ing weird.

The CGI models looks really good. The fur, texture and detail are all there. At least in the sword clip at the end which I’m guessing is how it’ll with look.

Didn’t see the whole video and I know nothing about Usagi outside of TMNT but it looks cool.

Miyamoto Usagi is in this series, But the stuff with him are flashbacks, And the flashbacks are told in 2D animation.

There was a 3d model sheet of Miyamoto Usagi shown though. Maybe he'll also appear in 3d somehow.

Stan Sakai was very involved in all aspects of the series. I have faith it will be a quality series.

He's not doing any of the writing so it's not going to be the same, I fully expect this to be a kids series.

Usagi itself is very kid friendly. The cartoony skull and Crossbones helps with that.
