Wouldn't it be great to see a Usagi animated feature?

Post by shaxper »

Handled tastefully (and with much input from Stan), I think a full length anime feature starring Usagi could be amazing (and would, no doubt, help Usagi to reach an even wider audience). It amazes me that one hasn't been done yet, especially with all the epic storylines that would lend themselves so well to such a genre.

I'd be curious to know whether Stan's ever been approached about making one or if he's ever considered it himself.

Mr. Sakai has mentioned that he has been approached in regards to a Usagi animated series a number of times, but he has yet to be sufficiently impressed by a studio in order to give the greenlight.

But yes, it would be cool if it was ever done.

And of course this demands the question..."Who will be the voice of Usagi?" :wink:
