Buffy, we're having an apocalypse... like it's Tuesday

0:18 - "There are things in the dark... dark things."

Makes sense, I guess.

[mascotasydemasbichos]

Thank god it was never aired....

[XxZombieLandGirlxX]

so was this ever made into an actual tv series like more than one episode?

[MooTelevision]

I don't like the voice of Buffy. That chick has no emotion. I wish SMG would have agreed to do the show. It would have been kick ass..

[Jill B]

What does "Jumping the shark" mean?

[supersayian90001]

...what? no Angel or Spike?

[IngridNixie]

The followers of Morgala... sounds awfully like MorGana to me. Are you SURE you're not secretly Uther Pendragon, Giles?

:)

The other day I was wondering if an animated version of the show was ever considered, interesting I just happened across this now.

Somehow the timing just seems a bit off to me. The dialogue and interaction between them just doesn't quite 'pop' the way it did on the series (which I've been rewatching a lot lately, and it's still great). There's some cute lines, but overall it's just not working for me. Might be the simplistic animation.

Giselle Loren sounds amazingly like SMG, though.

This show was EPIC!!!!! I sooooo wish they couldve did just one more season.

Interesting...the character interaction was cute, but they made Buffy look insanely acrobatic compared to how she is on the actual show. I know animated stuff is always more extreme, but it kinda took me out of the moment...and the special effects, like the transformation into vamp-face and the staking, looked really wierd.

Sarah Michelle Gellar never done the games or cartoon... never understood it
