Xenon Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 YES! Loved B5! I hope it is a new story and not a rehash. +primortal and margrave 2 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1428710-official-babylon-5-animated-movie-coming-soon/#findComment-598817777 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaGinger Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 It probably would look dated now, but at the time, I enjoyed it. Animated could mean more weird.

xpablo Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Well apparently JMS says it's not a reboot or rehash, seems the cast members that are still around have been working on this as well. I don't know what they plan on for those who are no longer alive, rumor has that it will be released after San Diego Comic Con July 20-23, 2023 most likely going to be on MAX streaming (HBOMax). I'll definitely be intrigued to watch it. , hopefully this will create new interest and demand for the B5 Reboot to happen. +primortal, Xenon and Zathras5 3 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1428710-official-babylon-5-animated-movie-coming-soon/#findComment-598817820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
margrave Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I wanted this new secret project to be a new series of some kind, reboot, continuation, anything. I guess something B5 is better than nothing B5. +primortal 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1428710-official-babylon-5-animated-movie-coming-soon/#findComment-598817822 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to be so negative, but I've been around the block a few times with WB & CW on SciFi series. Would've been better if they sold B5 to JMS or NBC/Universal .

So, now we know what type of anime you've watched! Try watching some decent stuff, from places like Studio Ghibli. +Raze, margrave and Dick Montage 3 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1428710-official-babylon-5-animated-movie-coming-soon/#findComment-598818673 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted May 7, 2023 Administrators Share Posted May 7, 2023 I am almost through the first season of Babylon 5 (one episode left). I had never seen it before back when it aired or the reruns, but being a scifi fan I had to give this a go, really hoping Season 2 is better (like many people say online, there are even guides to only watch the "important" episodes of S1, but I watched them all).

Is it streaming somewhere? I may have to give it a re-watch before this comes out.

Season 1 is largely world building stuff.. Season 2 the main plotline really kicks off.

Xenon Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) I was really hoping for something totally new. I will watch it, but I am kinda disappointed.

Reading the story description it does sound kinda interesting. He said there's a live action series in development still. I was always fascinated about what 'beyond the rim' was like. Or at least I believe what they called the galactic barrier that was so often mentioned in this shows story as a place of where you go when you ready to evolve past this one. We have established personalities that could be there. I think the biggest problem is that we've already had to wait too long and they're not picking up enough to fill all appetites. Well they better commit to like paramount did to star trek. The writing was better in the 90s during the franchise war and its well known (if you trust the actors and people involved) that DS9 is ripoff that was made after rejecting B5s pitch. I really hope the writing catches up with the times and isnt stuck in the 90s and that it's not anime. margrave and Xenon 2 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1428710-official-babylon-5-animated-movie-coming-soon/#findComment-598819841 Share on other sites More sharing options...
