@Godzillamovie1 certainly was lol dawn gets turned into a giant and vampires have a mecha-dawn version that breathes fire and has a tail.... to be honest dawn as a character pisses me off after season 5 and season 8 wasn't any better!
Short of the hundreds of millions needed for a full animation, this is a great approach. Properly done, motion comics can be pretty damn good. Just look at the WATCHMEN adaptation.
Why not just make a live action Season 8 instead of going this route. It would ahve been better IMO but anyhow this should have been done with real animation.
Not crazy about the voices, but I'll still get the disc. It's freakin' expensive to go through book stores and comic book shops looking for the next issue. i might as well pay my 25 bucks for the whole thing!
Buffy/Willow voice actors kinda ruined the motion comic for me. Did either of them even research their parts? Damn. The video games had better voice actors than this. They took too much of a risk with them considering how lame season 8 became during/after "Retreat" :/
Don't get me wrong, it had important moments and callbacks (whole buffy/angel deeper meaning the first hinted, slayer organisations, etc)
However the main bad thing about Season8 is that...whedon just lost it. He took VERY good ideas that I am sure would have worked on tv show(buffy "general" to the slayers and so on) and then he put a lot of incoherent crap upon it.
Thanks to that he had to do a reset for S9 and all potential of that plot was lost
I really love Buffy, but to be honest, season 8 was kind of crap. If this motion comic thingy is just clip art from the comics and bad voice overs - and the trailer certainly gives that impression - I think I'll stay well clear of it.
@RappingNinja Damnit, you suck. I was hyped and now I can't stop thinking of how much more awesome it would be if they'd make a real movie out of it. >_<
Man I wish that some of the original cast were to do the voice overs for their respective characters. It just sounded...weird! But hey, might still give this a shot though I think it's just not gonna live up to my expectations. I grew up with Buffy and the comic series just seems different.
@Tamamasensei unless the write it the right way like make it ten years later buffy is the leader and she dont have to slay because its 2,000 plus slayers and willow is a godess and she controll all of the witches in the world god witches i mean and xander is a leutenat of the slayer army and giles is the president of the watchers council because he had to start it from the beging.
im missing buffy the reruns jus arent doing it i might pick this up for the hell of it but seriously they shoulda kept the show longer same with angel and i think as both of their finalies it shoulda be buffys gang and angels gang combined in one huge episode tht woulda been awso0me
Well I look at it this way. If season 8 had alot of problems it was probably due to rethinking buffy into comic form. Now, if Whedon has the concept down than season 9 should flow much better than 8 did.
Season 8 is a steaming pile of shit. Stupid, convoluted storyline that doesn't follow the natural flow of the actual series, shoddy characterisation and a heavy reliance on gimmicks among other things... This is Whedon's cash cow, and very few people seem to realise that.
Holy crap I am so excited. I'm glad it's coming out on DVD cause I'm sick of hearing about some motion comics like Invincible only available to download on your iPod or something. I don't wanna watch it on my little iPod. I wanna watch it on TV! I hope a lot of the actors come back to voice their roles!
@CampRockfan40 Oh. Well, I wasn't keeping my hopes up that the original people would reprise their roles. BUT, I was sort of hoping some would since some of them were gung-ho about the Buffy Animated series. All well. What are ya gonna do, right?
