how about 2 different series?
young usagi for the younger kids
adult usagi for older kids and above
twice the usagi!
And twice the budget, manpower and workload. I wouldn't hold my breath on this one.

Yes, the progress of the show has not been affected by Usagi's move to IDW Publishing and Dark Horse's shares being bought by the Chinese investors. It's supposed to be business as usual, at Dark Horse, from what I understand, anyway. In any event, Gaumont Studios is actually the one who has the option, so their discussions are still continuing forward, uninterrupted. Dark Horse Entertainment, Atomic Monster, and Stan are all producers on the show, but Gaumont Studios has the option. It's rather confusing, but I hope it makes a semblance of sense.
Here's one of the press release articles: https://www.awn.com/news/gaumont-option ... gi-yojimbo
These things do take a while, but I'm quite confident regarding their progress. Wish I could say more, but it's never good to talk about things prematurely!
Best,
Daniel

Avatar: The Last Airbender, original Samurai Jack and the 2012 TMNT series Usagi recently cameo'd in. All of them have managed to cover similar themes to Usagi well and respectfully, with things like honor, PTSD, war casualties and other things taking center stage, and featured awesome action choreography. Heck, 2012 TMNT has Leonardo BEHEADING Shredder when the entire Turltes family went on an all-out revenge rampage against him in the Season 4 finale. This is MORE than doable. And if this company is run by James Wan, there's a fairly decent chance it's going to be fought for to keep it in the right tone. While a lot of things still get changed wildly when something is adapted to a cartoon show, things now are a far cry from the "in name only" standard of the eighties in general.
Yeah, potentially, some things might be slightly toned down, like some of Jei's Massacres, but honestly, that likely just means "less blood splatter on screen", which isn't that big a deal.

Eshbaal, didn't you also review Extreme Ghostbusters? That too was in the 6-11 range and you at one point praised that show for not being afraid of being dark and scary. And at times, even really messed up. Also, I'd like to bring up Batman: The Animated Series, and everything you said about these other shows is technically true of that show as well. And then there's Batman Beyond and Men In Black: The Series, and I watched both of those shows when I was a kid. And even today I still love them.
