Trailer is awful, looks like crap and too much forced childish humor, very disappointed.

This... this is actually happening. The kickstarter gained major traction but gotdamn.
It looks really good in motion. Kind of reminds me of Jimmy Neutron for some reason.
I don't know why everyone's disappointed with CG, we already had a traditional 2D Mighty No. 9 cartoon.
And oh wow, that actually looks really nice in motion.

The art style on this looks a lot better than the teaser. Of course, that style probably wouldn't have transitioned well to CG.

Now if the CG actually looked like this...
But yeah, the target audience is definitely not us, but its still cool.

Generic childish stuff, meh. I'm kind of shocked they're going all in this much on the franchise, though. Waiting until the game was out would have been a smarter move.

that's some low budget car insurance commercial looking CG though.
I'm sure it looks better in motion, but this isn't a flattering pic
Also, not sure how I feel about MN9 getting a TV show when the game isn't even out yet.
If that's how it's going to be animated... he is ugly.

That FAQ makes it sound like the show is only in the pitch stage. A bit early to be announcing it.
Also, now they're asking for more money directly through Paypal?

Oh snap, after watching that trailer thats surprising Digital Frontier is working on it?
Same people who did the CG Resident Evil Movies (Degeneration and Damnation).
Both CG Appleseed movies as well if anyone has seen that besides me

Not all CG is bad you guys.

They sure are jumping the gun. And what's with this more money thing?

This time its for the Animated Series.
I'm confused why everyone thinks this looks bad. The still picture looks poor, but that's because the shadows are exaggerated and the face is frozen in a weird pose. In the teaser, the colors are bright, the animation is fluid, the facial expressions are good, and the different transformations look way nicer than just a color change. The most dodgy part was the water, and that's understandable when water is so hard to get right.
I saw someone compare it to Jimmy Neutron, but this looks way, way, way better (And this shouldn't be surprising with how much better the tools are now).
