Personally, I think this show had a lot of potential, but it could have been better if it were written for an audience about 5 years older.
100% agree!
Yeah as a man child I demand a cartoon of my favourite comic
In my opinion its not one of the best kids show of all time, but its one of the best new kids show
That's a really fair summary and does reflect the show well!
Solid review. As a longtime Usagi fan. I was hoping for something along the lines of the comics. However, I can now roll back my expectations and try to enjoy it for what it is. Thank you for taking the time to do this review!
Thank you for your kind words kendo! Hopefully my review has helped give you an impression of how the show is!
Do you mean you mean hoping for XD
@@gamerdan2078 Hahahaha yes autocorrect has had my life there - Connor
If you listen closely, the voice of Tetsujin the bear, is the same voice who did Jei in the Usagi Yojimbo/TMNT 3 parter. I am that voice.
Thank you for your hard work and efforts, as well as stopping by our channel to check this video out!!
Really? I just finished that TMNT arc, Jei stole the show. You absolutely nailed him, and I'm glad these producers thought the same
It gives me Kung Fu Panda vibes which I love. Not very familiar with Usagi outside of his appearances on TMNT.
Kung fu Panda is and has always been one of my favorites
✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔
Tmnt and this abomination of a show is a disgrace to usagi’s character in the comics
Please for the love of GOD go read the cpmics
As a die hard usagi fan I was honestly disappointed with this series. I’d always dreamed of some of my favourite usagi stories like grass cutter and the mother of mountains being animated, but like you say I’m not the target audience. I really hope in the future we will get a slightly more adult usagi series, including the best characters Jei, tomoe and usagi himself
I must say that the research I did on the comics was far more interesting than what I learned in the show
I feel like If they were going in a kid direction I'm glad they set it in the future cuz having Usagi act like Yuichi would have made me hate the series. I love the Usagi series and want it exactly like it was from the books. I feel like this has time to grow and become more while not destroying the original books...........though the whole Usagi teams up with the Neko Ninja in the past seemed very suspicious to me since they are currently mortal enemies in the books.
I was majorly disappointed in this series. I'm very surprised Stan Sakai approved it
I can say with 1000% certainty that this show while it’s not Usagi we read in the comics is actually way too good then what you may think at first glance.
A friend of mine who is a fan of comic series finally got him to watch first season and he loves it now. And with season 2 there’s more to enjoy learning bout different characters like the team and going forward
Its funny you bring up the tmnt comparisons because looking back at the 03 and 2012 series their later seasons narratively began to take darker tones. Like the 2012 series the animation itself felt stiff in its movements but gradually improved as it went on. Should the series get more seasons it may take a similar approach. Personally though I'm happy Usagi is getting a proper animation treatment aside from being relegated to varying degrees of cameos within the TMNT continuity. The comics themselves are packed with amazing stories and characters and with how the show gives us glimpses about the Original Usagi's past it be a nice to see how they adapt the other mythos as the show itself does have little nods and easter eggs to the source material. All in all it may not be the best it's still a fun show. Love the review mate. Keep it up.
The original Usagi comics is not a comic series for kids. It is a dark, bloody, and grim series that isn't afraid to dived into mature topics. Such as the treatment of Woman, the cruelty on peasents by Nobles, and suicide. Not every story arc ends happily, but that's what makes Usagi such a great engaging series. You never know how the story will go and how it'll end. Unfortunate, if the comic was adpated into an animation series with all of it's bloody and dark topics intact, it wouldn't be for kids or even teen. It'd be more for young adults. So I think it was wise to tone it down for kid audience. Plus, the creators Usagi, Stan, put his thoughts on how the show should look as he envision it if the comic ever got adapted.
You motivated me to read the comics
Trust me, it's worth it! In order to find it, look by it's original title and the latest collection edition. Here:
The Usagi Yojinbo Saga volume 1, 2nd edition.
Start with this and enjoy!
Let me know if you want other recommendations.
When Yuichi said Miyamoto was his ancestor I recognized that name as well as the black and white picture of him in that comic from 2003 TMNT
As a person who absolutly loves Japanese culture, including it's mythology. And I did not hate it, but I do not love. Buuut I love refferences on mythology. Especialy when Yokai escaped. I mean we got MF Tengu and Kasa-obake. Freaking Tengu and Kasa-obake. Who the hell remembers Kasa-obake?
What the hell I thought this was going to be a adaptation of the comic not a sequel.
Sadly not :(
Such a shitty series. What a bomb
My kids and I love watching this show together. For it's target audience, it's perfect. And as a parent, very entertaining to watch.
Why do all new "cartoons" look like a fan made flash animation from the early 2000?
Is there really no one left can draw with a pencil?
As a longtime Usagi fan as well I feel like this series is not Usagi Yojimbo (Sakai has tried every once in a while to get it into animation but whenever that happened which was once it went to the future which this did. It really only spawned a pilot called Space Usagi and didn't test well. This is why everyone in the netflix series thinks he looks like Usagi when he clearly does not, because its like a call back to Space Usagi which looked exactly like Usagi but in the future.) Also I think of this series as a kind of kid Usagi because Yuichi was pretty much like how Usagi as a kid behaved before meeting his master Katsuichi. I feel if they mature the characters as time goes on it would give the show a good character progression and make the show better over all.
I'm really into Edo Period Japan genre to be honest. I like the futuristic Neo Edo. I love Yuichi Usagi for himself. But everthing seems to be going simple. İt needs more improvemen. The characters needs to be challanged to grow. Some character development were not enough. Although, I love how they designed yokais and showed us that they can be good too. I love that trope. I like how Yuichi grows tgrough the series and i think ıt needs more. Same goes for other characters. Karasu-tengu is cool. Hana is an adorable kid. Auntie is he best aunt. I know this show is targeted to kids but it could also have dark elements as well. Like rottmnt, monkie kid, amphibia, hilda and the owl gouse. I do hope Usagi Yojimbo will get another show in the future. Maybe in 2d.
It's definitely not too late for a video game, there have been games in the franchise before.
I've heard some people talk about this series. Might check it out. Thought Usagi from "TMNT 2012" only appeared in the games.
I just finished the series and really enjoyed it.
Wonder If they'll give the turtles a nod
Hopefully it will get better with another season.
Nope...im watching the 2nd season now. Still garbage. Why did Stan Sakai even approve this series? I was so psyched at 1st before the 1st season and then I was let down majorly. What a missed opportunity to make a good series
This show coulda been so cool. Just take on the same kid friendly tone as Teen Titans or Last Airbender- OR NOT EVEN THAT SERIOUS! Its practically aimed at toddlers!
Saw this pop up on a torrent, saw the promo image and was like, "OMG, are they ripping off Usagi Yojimbo?!?"... then I realized it was some weird sequel for kiddies...
Sadly so, can't imagine OG Osagi fans being too pleased 1
I wonder if people who first got into ninja turtles through the mirage comics reacted a similar way when the cartoon hit the scene. Both this and the tmnt cartoons were both aimed at a younger audience than the source material.
This is so much like a kid show not much for teen show though.But I really love their soundtrack
make samurai rabbit season2 in. need 2012 ninja turtles 2024
I wonder if the TMNT are gonna show up in this or one of their villain's like The Shredder
make samurai rabbit season 2 in tmnt. 2024
Your right it should have been a video game
I don't know, this just gave me say to much ninjago vibes, which I didn't really want, I wish it was more like demon slayer
make samurai rabbit show season 2 in. tmnt 2024
It has a Disneyesque feel to it.
make samurai rabbit season 2 in tmnt. 2023
The animation and comedy are just so.. stiff. I was really excited about this and it honestly had so much potential, a steampunk neon Japanese style city sounds so cool but the animation just did it so dirty. Rise of the tmnt didn't have much plot either but the animation and comedy are genuinely really well done and it makes this show look like crap in comparison. I loved the idea of the yokai villans they just didn't run with it like they could have.
Привет
The fact that he's 15/16 lmao
How destroy Stan Sakai's creation...
Can't believe Stan even approved it. Wish I could have a word with him
It’s not THE best but has tiny charms to it I guess
Note that I really haven’t seen all episodes just a glimpse on each episode cuz my siblings watch it
But the only thing I liked was again, the comic animation thingy instead of the cgi, yes u are probably right about the small budget they had, the thing is that creeps me out with the animation is the eyes.. in animation eyes are very expressive but in this show some of the scenes the eyes
just show very *blank* empressions idk how to explain it but... it’s sometimes the characters eyes just LITERALLY stays still even when there’s supposed something going on. And they just don’t look at some characters probably.. so yes it’s probably the budget...
Another thing I liked so far are the characters design and the yokai (idk how to spell it?)
The fox character looks cool especially I love how they designed her hair like a foxes tail
The main character(I completely forgotten his name-) yes same thing with the fox but ties his ears like hair
The ninja cat.... ehh she looks cool but I just feel like her eyes are too big or something BUT I have to say the evil ninjas leader looks sooooo coooool
I really liked how they nailed the Persian breed looks (I think it’s Persian I’m not sure-)
Now the yokai..
I really liked the deception yokai designs (the bird/crane one) idk why but she looks badass to ME
The rest.. idk I haven’t really seen the others lol
So is it good... idk don’t ask me, I have very bad tastes
I am sooo sorry for being this long.... I didn’t even realise lol
That's a great breakdown! Yeah the eyes at times can look really dead, but that's just the cost limit most likely. And I agree the characters and Yokai do look cool and for a show with a much younger target audience that's pretty much all you need. But it's a shame because of how much better it could have been given the source material of the comics
@@UnleashTheGhouls yep agree!
Idk what this show is…
I do kendo and I love Japanese history and I am severely disappointed with almost enything to do with samurai and swordplay. And as a classical pianist I wish they chose to have more classical Japanese music and I thought the dialogue was horrendous.
4:31-5:03 I'm sorry but...no there's no old here with his design.
I meant to say the design isn't cool to me.
make samurai rabbit show season 2 in. tmnt 2023
The show is a little generic. Stan Sakai's art style is what sets his comic apart from everyone else. It would've been cool to have this show's art style reflect that instead of looking like a Kung Fu Panda spin off.
Don't even know how or why Stan Sakai even approved it
Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles . . . They used extremely basic CGI for it, and didn't even want to do the comic book as the story. :(
While this show is funny, it has some potential to be better
why did they make this show for kids when clearly the fan base isnt kids. such a big disappointment. even the animation, its like watching a kids cartoon, like cocomelon, smh, good job in ruining a great comic
Doesn’t look like comic
It's fun to watch the show it's one of those movies so bad their good but honestly the writers are one of those it's for kids it's not that deep type but I do like the queer and neurodivergent coding with Usagi having so much autism and ADHD moments I'm waiting for the writers to confirm it or how they put kitsune and chizu having their paws in a heart shape and how chizu out of all the gang wanted to gain the trust of kitsune the most hinting that they will end up together
