Being probably my all time favorite -Western animated- shows of all time (right up there with Venture Bros) I'm ridiculously excited by this news during GTs AMA.

There was an article on Genndy's plans for this over at IGN just a few days ago. He doesn't actually have anything in development right now. It's one of those projects he'll jump on if he can get the backing, and it's not there right now.

He's also working on an animated Popeye movie.
 
What is the source of this original post, anyway?

I could make an alt named iamjosswhedon and say that I'm working on a new Firefly series...
 
I bet it ends with jack getting his shirt ripped off, then a the screen flashes with a sword sound and aku slides in two.
 
Its not so much it failed as Cartoon Network was planning a movie to end it after the Powerpuff Girls movie succeeded...which it didn't. THANKS A LOT EBERT!
 
Honestly though, I'm not sure I'm as excited as I seem to be, Mako MADE that show, AKU was the true star and even a good impersonation is still an impersonation....

It'll be along the lines of watching the Looney Tunes after Mel Blanc died. The VAs try their best but it just ain't the same.

The guy who took over for Mako on Avatar was pretty good. It was off, but damn close. Maybe he could do it?
 
Sym-Bionic Titan is apparently becoming part of Toonami starting next week, along with the new Thundercats cartoon. I couldn't be happier. Both are excellent examples of American action cartoons and I'm REALLY hoping that this helps the second season of Thundercats get greenlit (because the show didn't get a proper ending). Makes me wonder if we'll see Samurai Jack and maybe Megas XLR in future weeks.

Basically, Toonami is doing it's damned to avoid showing repeats (consecutively anyway). I think this is a smart move. Even if certain shows become seasonal, it would be a vast improvement over showing the same episodes for years on end.
 
Toonami...is....bringing...back...SYMBIONIC TITAN! SATAN BLESS YOU STEVE BLUM!

I know he had nothing to do with it, but I like blessing him anyway.
