Yeah but I'm all about that 80's leotard. I used to be Cheetara when we played Thundercats at school...
I guess they've got to update her look...be more politically correct, what with the millenium and all
I dunno if low riding pants/shorts with a top that exposes cleavage is "politically correct".
Also, She-Hulk gets away with wearing a leotard just fine

Well, its a little more coverage I guess. I don't suppose it matters much, I wonder if most of the viewers are going to be the people who watched the 80's version?
Ha well at least someone is flying the flag for leotards. Nobody's going to tell She-Hulk what to wear!

Don't worry about Cheetara, she's beautiful. Look up the trailer on YT.
Didn't catch the episode (and forgot to DVR shit AGAIN) but quality-wise it strikes me as being the same upgrade that the 2003 Masters of the Universe was.
And yes, we're all children of the 80's. Greatest cartoon era ever!

I think in the first episode of the original series, you actually see Cheetara 'naked'. Not that there is anything to see. Anyways, I'm not too excited about this new series, even if many people are saying it will be better than the original. I'll most likely not see it like a bunch of other cool shit =p.

I really did love the premiere though. The animation was fantastic, the voice acting great, and the story was more than solid. I don't remember Tigra being such a douche though, my god. Lion-O deals with several insecurity issues thanks to the people around him, and subjects like prejudice and class-ism are touched upon as well.

I was never really into the original series that much, so I didn't care to watch it for nostalgia reasons. As an independent, I thought the premier was fairly average. Sets up the back-story decently enough.
As for the animations, the backgrounds look infinitely better than the character animations (which do not have much detail to me, but that's fine. I've seen worse.) Shading was lovely, though. As were the lightning animations.
Lion-O was more whiny than I remember, but I guess he had to go through the teen angst phase before becoming awesome.
Anyways, the premier was okay. It seemed fairly standard, though, considering the shows that are made available to us these days.
That being said, I can see why it would be amazing looking through nostalgia glasses. This is just my opinion. It was more interesting than the original to me.

...He wasn't whiny AT ALL. He had one moment where he doubted himself because of what happened with his father and the lizard men, and it didn't last long before he jumped into the fray to help save the city.
There was nothing in there that constituted as angst. Hell he didn't even dwell on his father's death too long before he went after Mum-Ra.
The animation made available to us these days is largely garbage. Even the majority of anime is garbage moe shit and badly animated shonen garbage.
That isn't why I liked it at all. In fact I liked many of the changes because they were different.
Like Snarf. I fucking hated Snarf, and the background in the original TCs was incredibly sparse.

My bad, I guess it seemed he was whiny to me. Whatev.
I disagree with this completely. At least, in terms of animation made available to us these days being garbage. I don't really watch new anime much as it's uninteresting, so there's no use arguing that point.
I didn't say that's why you liked it. I said I can see why it would be amazing through nostalgia glasses. Nowhere did I imply that's the only reason to like it.
I agree with the Snarf bit. And I already stated the backgrounds looked great.
EDIT: I think I misinterpreted what you meant by animation made available to us. If you meant in terms of shows, then I am slightly inclined to agree with you. Though I still don't think this is incredible or anything. But opinions differ, so I figured I'd post my thoughts on it. Cheers.

Then you definition of whiny doesn't really match the actual definition of the word.
Well it is. Unless you have an example of something being better, most american animation is SHIT(not talking about 3d). The best 2d animation in recent years has come from the DC Animated films(which there are few) and a handful of Avatar episodes.
If we're talking about the animation available period through the massive library there is now, going back to before even the nineties, then yeah it's not nearly as good as the best animation I've see. That doesn't mean what's available here isn't great.
Nowhere did I say you meant that it was my reason for liking it. I simply said my piece regarding nostalgia.
Of course there were a few bits that gave me chills because of nostalgia, there's no getting around that.

Or you perceive whiny differently than I do. Not entirely unlikely.
I was referring to animation quality, and I wasn't referring to American as much as world-wide. But I suppose that's easy enough to confuse, I didn't exactly clarify.
I mostly meant around the last three or so years. I think that you think I'm saying this is a massive pile of shit. I don't think that. I said it was average, but it doesn't mean average isn't good. I enjoyed it well enough.
This is fair enough, then.

Except not applicable.
Like I said, even worldwide animation quality is still waning.
Like?
These days, what's average isn't very good.

I don't see why not, but it really doesn't matter at this point.
Waning compared to?
Should I really give a list? How many examples would you like? I mean, I guess as far as animation quality goes, I enjoy the look that Du-ra-ra-whatever the fuck and Darker Than Black, but even those have their down moments. And yeah, I know, Blah-anime-blah. I don't like to list anime when listing animation quality, but certain studios have beautiful stuff. Those two that I said are definitely not top of the line stuff, just shows I can remember off the top of my head.
It is if you only watch good shows. (lol, I'm only joking. I'm not that arrogant.)

Nineties, early 2000s.
Durarara has some really shit animation sometimes. Darker than Black I'll give you. But my point is, that kind of quality ain't that common.
For the most part you don't see that much impressive stuff like you used to.
It's just a decent bit of gems in a shitpile. For every full metal alchemist, there's 10,000 fan service shows.
