Looks liek a cross between Power Rangers, some Tokastu elements, and He-Man.

Hmmm, interesting. Very interesting. Everybody would have loved to do this with CGI, I bet. But no, they go all traditional. I'll watch this show just because of that! Huzzah!

So... this isn't cgi?

Meaning.. judging from the pictures.... this series will be done in "Team American" fashion?

I'm confused because most of the character portraits look like dolls or something from Team America.

They are dolls. Isn't that cool? I mean, that hasn't been around for quite some time. You can even watch the first episode online. There you'll see how it's done. It's quite clever actually.

...I seriously don't know what to think of this...but I'm over come with two emotions.

NUMBER ONE: Curiosity. I am definatly curious. Yeah, it's because they are using puppets. It's an element that I feel hasn't really been explored (the only puppet TV shows I have seen are the old "Thunderbirds" and "Team America")

NUMBER TWO: Confusion. I was reading the profiles when I saw this -

Well, either way, I'm going to watch a few eps to see what this is all about

This looks awful beyond belief. I could make a better show with some popsicle sticks and bottle of gin.

The writing is exquisite, though.

Have you seen the first episode? It looks actually really good, compared to the other puppet-stuff I've seen. Sure, they could have gone for moving faces in the close ups, unless of course Lone Sword and his pals are all ventriloquists.

I can see that this series won't have the desired success, since people are suckers for those "Whoa, CGI is teh roXX0rz!!!111one"-critics. It doesn't look spectacular, but it looks just fine for me.

I feel exactly the way you feel, Ra... I'm really curious and confused about this show...

I definately want to check out an episode or two...When is it on?

And knowing CN, and America in general, this show is probably going to be butchered from its original concept (think anime on Foxbox)... so I'm curious and I want to ask you all... do you feel the show will be retained in its entirety when they show it on CN or will it be censored?

I'd say it looks good in a relative sense. This is just way too out there. If anything, I'd watch it because it's so bad. It's like Mr. Rogers's Land of Make Believe meets Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
