Warner Bros has released the first official image of the new, reimagined Thundercats (http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=30511) series. It's set to debut later this year on Cartoon Network.

Based on the Rankin/Bass sci-fi jungle adventure cartoon, the new "ThunderCats" debuts later this year on Cartoon Network and promises an anime look to the series courtesy of Warner Bros. Animation and Japanese partners Studio4°C. "In addition to being Warner Bros. Animation’s first anime series, ThunderCats marks our most ambitious foray yet into fantasy,” WBA’s Sam Register said during the series announcement last June. “The realism and dynamic visual style we’ve achieved are sure to thrill viewers, and the cool weapons, vehicles and technology should help the show appeal to a diverse audience.”

I, for one, think this actually looks and sounds promising. I grew up watching Thundercats and what little I've heard coupled with these character designs makes me think they're going to get things right.

The original cartoon was very much "anime-ized" for it's time; the animation was handled by a Japanese company and the characters had a distinct "anime" look to them, especially during the opening sequence.

So, really...not much has changed in that department. The show always looked a little Eastern.

She's not covered in fur, thus I don't think she qualifies as a "furry". She's a humanoid with some mildly cat-like features (and epic levels of sexiness, at least through the eyes of a 9 year old boy :) ).

Furries draw the shit out of her. Quick google search...you may never see her the same way. :eek:

You don't have to be a full-on furry to appreciate some Cheetara.

Yeah, it would be great except that my wife makes me play along as Snarf instead of Lion-o or Panthro.

"Snee-arf... why can't I be one of the cool characters, snarf-snarf?"

"Quiet, you... Now put on the ball-gag. The safety word is 'Jackalman'."

"Snumf, snumf..."
