if you were to make an animated series or movie about Usagi that is accurate to the source material, how would you about it?

>>150483964personally, i think the story arc where Usagi first meets Noriyuki and Tomoe would be perfect to adapt into a full fledged movie.

I would just hope it was as endleslly depress as the comics are. And also to see how stuff is made.
>>150483964Why exactly is he a part of the TMNT universe? Because the creators were friends back then?
>>150484498Pretty much yeah
>>150483964I'm afraid the characters are so ingrained in my brain, they "sound" a certain way, that at this point no voice actor would seem fitting.
>>150484001I think you can take those two issues, the Gen story, and intercut flashbacks of Lord Mifune and easily adapt them into a movie. I don't know what to do with Hikiji though, I think I'd just conflate him and Hebi for convenience's sake
>>150484574Yeah, I get the way with a lot of things too. It's not that I have any particular issue against voice actors but you just imagine something for so long it's hard to take otherwise.
>>150484001elaborating a bit more so the thread doesn't die so quickly.>the movie would be an adaptation of "Lone Rabbit and Child" from Albedo Anthropormorphics, before Usagi had his own book.>tonally it would be closer to the comics and the old samurai movies that Usagi pulls from, though small bits of humour would be featured.>2D Animated>Usagi's backstory won't be elaborated on deeply to give the character an aura of mistery, him being just a lone wanderer that gets involved into the conflict is more than enough.>Tomoe is the coprotagonist and possible love interest, she is the one instructed to care for the safety of Noriyuki, like in the original story.>The Neko Ninja, working under Lord Hebi and Lord Hikiji are the main antagonistic force of the film, the generic ninja are mainly fodder but there can be some that are actually characters and are essentially mini bosses that Usagi actually has to put more effort into defeating, these "mini bosses" can be either characters from the comics (like Shingen) or can be movie originals>the movie would start and end with narration similar to Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, the reason for this is because in other Usagi media and spin offs were the protagonist is a descendant of Usagi from far into the future(Space Usagi, Netflix series) Miyamoto Usagi is treated as legendary figure from the past, so the movie can be seen as just a tale that could be accurate or not, i think this fits the character as well as Usagi is based on a irl legendary swordsman(maybe the narration could be coming from an older and wiser Noriyuki, similar to the wild kid from MM2)so what do you guys think?, it is pretty barebones but this is as close of an idead Usagi movie for me.

>>150483964>>150485774animated in the finest hosho paper with every frame built from exquisitely carved woodblocks, breaks the record for most crew deaths in an animated movie ever.
>>150483964Adapt the story from gen to the dragon conspiracy as a movie, but with the addition of kitsune thrown in.
>>150483964Going with series. I would assume first season would probably adapt everything up to Dragon Bellow Conspiracy. I would skip Goblin though and save it for later when Usagi revisits the grave. Both cause it is more impactful then and that I think slowly introducing the supernatural works better. Lone Rabbit and Child makes for a good opening introducing Tomoe, Usagi, Noriyuki, and Hebi & Hikiji.I would say both of the bounty hunter chapters could be combined to give Gen an introductory episode. Zato's introductory chapter and Silk Fair could be combined to get a full episode just change the people Zato attacked to being the villagers he had previously helped out would also give Usagi more of a reason as to why he disfigured him. Tower and Mothers love could also be worked into one episode. Would also roll Blade of the gods and Return of the Blind Swordspig into one, as both feature Usagi staying in an abandoned hut, just have Zato-Ino show up first and then Jei arrives after he leaves. I would move the order of some things around as well. For instance I think it might actually be better to have Usagi's backstory given before Homecoming. Either way Dragon's Bellow works as the perfect season finale bringing everyone met previously back together, have it as at least a 2 parter.
