New Thundercats - HELP!!
14 years ago
General
No, this isn't another journal about somebody who's been watching the new Thundercats TV series. I wish I actually had the darn opportunity to!
See, the major problems are that (1) I'm not based in the United States of America, and (2) I can't stream what's been uploaded so far - my poor PC isn't even remotely up to the task. Which is where you guys come in...
If someone could record the episodes onto DVD for me (I don't own a VCR any more!), I would be willing to offer one or two full-colour commissions in return. (One piece featuring two characters, or two solo pieces.) I would also happily mail out the commission(s), plus the sketches and a digital print of the final piece(s), free of charge.
My only requests are if you could possibly get the whole series (13 episodes, if my information is correct), and if you don't mind me producing the commissions after I return from EF17, in about two weeks' time.
Is anyone interested?

Going on past form, it'll be deep into 2012 until it arrives here in England. (The original Thundercats started in 1985, but it wasn't until Christmas 1986 that they started showing it!) And as a big fan of the original series (I've got the whole lot on DVD), I really wanted to see what the new show was like!
If you'd like to see some of the new show, I've found a trailer for it on YouTube:

(I can imagine a certain "wafer thin mint" scene playing out if I do...)
And I caught the original Thundercats series whenever I had the opportunity to. When I first started watching it, Cheetara wasn't actually my favourite character - but that soon changed. (I'm not saying who was my favourite character at first, though!!) And from what I've seen of the new series, I like Cheetara's new design, too!
(More than the old design, though? Hmmm... I guess the jury's out until I see some episodes for real!)
As for certain poses in animation: I grew up watching Science Ninja Team Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets. And I was a fan of a certain section of the episode start sequence. I wonder which one that was...
And the character in Battle of the Planets was called Princess (or Jun the Swan in the original Science Ninja Team Gatchaman). You're right, her uniform itself was indeed mostly white, over a pinkish "minidress". And following anime tradition, another part of her outfit (shown quite regularly) was also white...
I only mentioned the US because *every* site I've checked seems to imply it's only shown there. But if you can get it in Canada, then that's great!
And yep, I know they've only shown the first few episodes so far. But since I'm after as many episodes as possible, and there's still a long way to go in the season, I thought it would be a good idea to mention what I'm after early on!
And of course, I'd happily draw the commission(s) I mentioned in the journal text above for you in return!
And it would be really great if you could do this for me!
I wonder how many episodes there will be.
I believe there are 13 episodes in the current season, judging by what's been written on various websites. I hope they're right!
Are you looking for the new series or THE ORIGNAL series because I have the Orignal series.. EVERY one in full format on dvd full uncut unedited ..
As for the new eries I personally have not seen it. if interested let me know via pm and we may work out a trade.
But from what I've seen, the new show looks pretty good. I'd just like to see it properly for myself!
Ill keep my ears out for ya and see if I can get you a few to send ya.
(The original show was animated by the Pacific Animation Studio, if I remember correctly...)
They will almost certainly release it on DVD after the season has finished - and I've got a DVD player encoded to play any region, so that in itself is not a problem. It's just a matter of when...
And thanks for the offer!
