No matter what company, voice overs, or story I would watch anything Firefly animated.

Go for it.

I think this could work provided the original cast did the voices, the animation was of an exceptional standard and the story lines remain at adult levels.

It'd be even better if you resurrect Book & Wash.

No. As much as I liked these characters, they're dead. And Firefly is about keeping it real. Resurrect them and it's not Firefly, it's just one more "oh, it's science fiction, we can get away with anything" piece of [Chinese].

First off welcome to the site Mangolo! We are glad to have you here and look forward to your participation in discussions. So, make yourself at home. You're amongst friends.

I find your initial post intriguing. To be honest I am a complete Firefly fanatic and yes, I would most definitely watch a Firefly animated series. I daresay that a raider ship full of hungry Reavers couldn't keep me away. I am so eager for any continuation of the story that I would fully support (and pimp) any medium that delivered that story.

I think your working on other projects would give you the inside track to getting Universal to give you a nod for an animated series, but I believe ultimately it is up to Joss. As you no doubt know, Firefly/Serenity is Joss's baby and he is going to want a big hand in anything dealing with his 'verse. Of course his involvement would go a long way towards giving legitimacy to any project and cement fan support.

Keep us posted on how this develops.

Sounds like a cool idea "Serenity: the animated series". Perfect material for a Saturday Morning ().

Although the hard part would be getting a major studio and/or Joss to say yes (and if you did it on the internet it'd have to be free). But it would be very intersting to see how this develops.

and, course, if you need story ideas, just check all those writers we have in the Blue Sun Room

BTW: sorry to be a pain: but can someone please shrink that huge gorram picture it really messes up the messages. Thanlk.

I would watch an animated version of Firefly. I'm for it 100%!

The first anime I got into was Outlaw Star. It was more Sci-Fi than western though. Still, it was very good. I recommend it to all the browncoats.

I'm of a mind to agree with Roy here - would love to see Firefly in any way, shape or form as long as it maintains the integrity of the original, targeted to adult audience and high quality. This is a good venue to explore reactions with these avid Browncoats - they will definately give you honest, considered opinions.

Good luck! Looking forward to seeing how it develops.

Well, my mom told me, "if you can't say something nice...don't say anything at all," but you're asking for honesty, so - here goes.
While I am a fan of animation...I am not-so-much a fan of wonderful human-acted stories being "animated." The feel of the 'verse and the Firefly family was human; the superb, perfectly-cast characters; the lighting inside Serenity. What human actors bring to the screen, I'm afraid animation cannot duplicate. Even with the original cast's voice work; I think it would still be a smaller vision of the 'verse - the verse that has made such a huge impact (I believe Joss called it "invading people's dreams") that I would not care to see it diminished or made "smaller". Sorry; that's how I feel. I've seem some of those truly creepifying "live action to animation" commercials that make my skin crawl...and I've also seen some wonderful, captivating and magical animation; I just don't think the true magic of Firefly would translate (in my opinion and, as we all know: opinions are like...)

I would LOVE to see Firefly/Serenity in an animated series - IF IT IS DONE WELL!

I am a huge fan of animation in general, so I think it could be done, and I would give all of my support to the project.

I will say, however, that I think the original series/movie were so perfect that it would be difficult to live up to them in any other form. But an animated series would be very welcome, and certainly a step up from comic book adventures, which is all we can really hope for at the moment. If you had the support of some of the writing staff and voice actors, I think it could work very well.
