By setting it up as a spinoff character, he doesn't give up any creative control of Usagi. that being said, I'll probably not see it, as I don't do netflix.

He’s a smart guy. There are hints below on how to watch Netflix shows free for a month.

They add Usagi Yojimbo back in the 80's to TMNT and Battletoads cartoons

Great creator to be bringing us new content. I look forward to it.

I'm so stoked that this is finally happening.

From the description, it sounds like a rejiggering of the old Space Usagi concept that was abandoned back in the Nineties.

I would wait till i see the preview trailer to get a idea what the animation style and how it looks

That was absolutely the best way to handle this franchise -- as a spinoff rather than a full-on conversion. Smart, very smart.

I wish I could afford Netflix. Between the cost in dollars and hours I just can't handle it. I don't need another time-sink in my life.

Wait until the entire season is available, use the free days or pay for one month, binge watch and cancel the subscription. If it's just one show you want to see, that's always a possibility.

How often can you do that, though? I know Amazon has restrictions. That's how Jeff Bezos go so rich.

I don't know. That's why I mentioned it for one show, though I'd expect someone doing this would maximize the time.

Well this looks interesting. I might finally give Netflix a try. Old Usagi fan - even have Albedo #2 with Usagai

I had that issue as well. Sold it last year to finance a new workstation.

I have the whole run of Albedo. Call it my rainy day fund. Someone gave me some of the rare issues in the 90s. Smart using that issue to fund work equipment.

Super Turbo Atomic Ninja Rabbit?

Considering the huge body count in nearly every issue, I was wondering how they were going to clean that up for animation. Sort of disappointed they're not doing the actual comic; it's been going for so long they'd have an endless backlog of stories to animate.

Well This is a smart move by Stan. He doesn’t have to give any rights to Usagi away, and I believe he is creative enough to come up with new stories fairly easily.

sounds promising.

also reminds me that I need to add up to my collection. I had to neglect it for way too long, and I'm behind the comics for years...

I actually met Stan at Eurofurence, I recorded his panel on my dinky lame phone at 480 - An inspiring guy! really great to talk to and gave me some good advice in comic making :)

Stan is a nice guy. I’ve run into him fairly often.

Really now - dont think he'll remeber me! :D

We both lived in Southern California, so went to a lot of the same conventions.

Ahh the convenience of conventions :D

Well, just hope they animate said character well...
Typical Japanese style just grates so badly it's difficult to watch, even if the story driving it is good (case in point, that Beast Town anime suggested recently. *HORRIFIC* animation, good story).

Disney 2D animation will never return. To labor intensive and expensive. It’s either economical anime, or 3D.
