This would be a way to solve the aging cast problem. I don't really enjoy animation myself, except for a few noted exceptions. But I'd have to give it a try at least. In an animated format I'm slightly (only slightly) less afraid that they would send the show in directions that I wouldn't enjoy. I'm always hesitant about new cannon because the show is amazing the way it is, I don't prefer the BDM so I fear that any new post BDM installments would be more of the BDM stuff that I don't prefer. But if it takes place before the BDM then I'd give it a serious try and might even enjoy it inspite of the animation.

Hmmm those DC comic movies are a good point. I wonder how much they cost to produce. That could be a really cool way to continue the verse. Direct to DVD animated movies. I'd preorder for sure.

From 2006. Unknown origin. Firefly Animated by Capt. Baggytrousers.

And another effort:

I'm actually a big fan of this style.

Those are some cool designs. It's too bad that comedy is the only genre that American's will support in animated form.

Well, there are some good "Saturday morning" cartoons being made (though not actually aired on Saturday morning ), but yeah, the moment you say "adult animation" everything defaults to Family Guy.

The days of NorAm producing a Fullmetal Alchemist or a Last Exile or a Durarara are decades away, if they ever come.

I disagree. I think American audiences are ready for more adult oriented animation. Look at what Pixar is doing. They've made multiple movies with completely grown up themes, and managed to make kids love them too. Another example is the latest DC animated movies. They're all PG-13.

Pixar has a 20 year rep to ride on (built almost entirely with comedies). The DC animated flicks are mainly aimed at geeks, and we're talking characters with a MUCH higher profile (and even then they've said that they only turn a profit when they feature Batman or Superman).

I can't think of a single film or TV series that American adult audiences have embraced in the last 20-30 years that wasn't comedy or part of a huge franchise.

Pretty sad that one of the most juvenile shows in history is the pinnacle of "adult animation" these days...
