What do you follow up a movie like Piranha 3D with? Terasawa Buichi's Cobra!

Okay, now this one looks "okay" based only on the poster.

On the one hand it's such a stylistically distinct property that I can only imagine it as being an unchanging specimen from an era of classic TMS productions, rather than today's era of resplendent, anything-is-possible CGI.

As I recall, the main story arc also takes a while to build up a head of steam, and as such might not translate well in today's era of stories being instantly-gripping (or else Instant Failure).

I'd say file this one under "Potential For Dashed Hopes" ; )

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The original series is, frankly, nearly perfect. The animation is of superior quality for its era. The design is excellent. To see that distinctive illustrative quality transferred to digital film-making would be a sad sight to see.

I really love that show.
