This is Samurai Jack three years early. The timing was right, too. Gargoyles had just recently (I'm guessing this is about 1998, so two years or so) ended and the market was itching for another late-teens marketed show. All we really had at the time was syndicated stuff we'd seen a dozen times or more already. Had this been aired, it would have been huge. It is an absolute shame that it never saw the light of day and didn't get the chance to revolutionize American animation.
That's awesome! Amazingly fluid. I can't quite figure out what the plot could be, but I guess that's not so important in the title. ;) I love the Drunken Style guy, wish there was more of that.
Fantastic work. The fluidity of the animations are admirable! It's a shame that this never went anywhere, but I guess it's better off that you've gone into videogames instead.
So the show's called M7, a reference to Magnificent Seven? How close would it have followed the movie? Or was that just kind of a loose springboard kind of point? Looks nice though! I like it!
Wow, this video has been on my computer for close to two years, and I never knew what it was from. I love this intro, and would definitely watch this show.
pretty sweet...although it'd be one of the various childrens shows that has cool weapons that never kill any thing but robots at most (TMNT, Samurai Jack, etc.), it still looks like a visually brilliant gem, as close to anime as it gets here

Ahead of its time, it emulated anime better than some cartoons from the 00s have done.

Put in its era it's impressive. There's been better since, but this one would have been ahead of the curve.

I agree! I can't remember anything like this that was around during the Animaniacs days...I would've loved it though.
