I rented the dub boxset from my library a while back, and I'll be damned if it's not a pretty good show for what subject matter it covers. I don't know how many non-French people might be interested in it as it was never popular like Robotech or Star Blazers that I can gather, but if you liked Nadia this is very similar in set up and premise. Too bad this sequel is in flash, or looks close enough like it, or I might have cared.

Wow, this trailer completely blew my expectations out of the water, this looks fantastic. I didn't expect the graphics to be in 3D, but the approximation to the original style is surprisingly good (if a bit blocky at times), and the backgrounds are stunning to look at. I'm glad to think a new generation of children will have the chance to grow up watching a show like this.

Would be a good series for Nick to pick up just like they did the original back in the 80s. I'd watch it for sure.

France has put out a number of excellent animated TV series on occasion.
Anyone else seen Oban: Star Racers? |

it is because of the original series that I now watch anime, I own the American release deluxe edition, and still watch it from time to time.
I first watched the original in the early 80s on Nickelodeon. damn I'm old

It's some Flash/3D hybrid that a lot of French animation uses these days, sadly. I agree, it's very distracting/off putting. |

The sequel was announced many years ago, but the broadcast was pushed to 2013
 , I really liked the first season, I don't know if I will get used to the CG since it changes pretty much from before.
I have the feeling that Esteban seems to have the same voice as before ^^ but it can't be possible (after 30 years) . A really nostalgic song  .

As long as the story is good, we could put up with the animation.

I've been waiting for this moment for 20+ years ... check out this tribute/adaptation I did of the theme song last year http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqdo-KLeDMA

I am glad they kept the same theme song! I love that opening song.

Is it just me, or did the guy in the red cloak with his face hidden sound and move like Darth Vader?

I'm pretty impressed by the visuals, yeah yeah, it's not pure 2D, but they're still nice graphics, with bright colours and good animation for a TV series (I literally mean the animation rather than the "artistry" there's a nice looseness to some of it). I do keep meaning to check out the original series but want to see it in it's original language and I'm pretty sure that's not English, but rather French or Japanese, which I don't think are included in the u.s. or u.k. boxset releases. While we're on the topic, I would really like to see Skyland in it's original French with English subs, not least because unlike pretty much every other french TV animated series popular amongst English speakers, it's not a french-japanese co-production - I love anime, but it would be nice to see something different.

I can tolerate it because its looks like the old style, but I really thought they were going to give this a visual update; this and wakafu are pretty good, but in my opinion would be better served with a more anime style appearance. Just imagine if they got Ghibli to do the art style on Cities, wow people would eat that up, because the show is in the vain of some of his stories.
