Ugh... they had to make it anime..
The writing staff should be good for this as they did work on Teen Titans, Batman: The Brave and The Bold, and Avatar The Last Airbender. STUDIO4°C(Animatrix, Batman: Gotham Nights, HALO: Legends) is doing the animation

I'm sorry... that image is so full of win! Can't wait! But then again I like GI Joe Renegades (I grew up watching both the originals)
Its better than what most American cartoons look like now.
Example: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Prime_%28Animated%29 Transformers: Prime. The horror...
Thundercats was amazing at the time. As much as I love anime it will be very hard to outdo my the original.
why would they mess with perfection. the original thundercats = win
Tell them that the Lich King is dead...and the World of Warcraft...died with him.
I think it looks pretty cool actually. I'm still sort of bummed that they didn't go ahead with a T-Cats movie as originally planned though. In any case, although I do like the artwork, I doubt I'll be watching it as the dialogue would probably annoy my (old) ears.
Also, as others have pointed out... 99% of Rankin-Bass studios was Japanese (animators and artists), so technically the original was also anime... though of course in the style of the 80s.

I like the style looks good with a few exceptions...Panthro looks good but something, not sure what, just feels odd about the look and second WTF?! no Snarf ??? I notice Wilykit and Wilykat aren't there either but that's ok as long as they get Snarf!!!
"With blood and rage of crimson red,
Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead,
Together with our hellish hate,
We'll burn you all--That is your fate!"
i started watching the original thundercats series again a few months back, i made it through about 10 episodes before i couldn't bear to watch anymore - the original will always be the original, but it could do with a modern update and it looks fine to me tbh
might even watch some of it.....
Well if you need to know, Snarf will be in the series as well. Here is what he looks like.

IO9 posted more about Snarf that he will be more like a Pokemon than his original self as he will not be able to speak beyond "Snarf"
