After only the two-minute premiere episode intro, I hate this pile of crap. I hope the idiots who thought this would be a good idea get burning diarrhea for a month. ---

I thought they were canceling it. This is one of the worst cartoon ideas ever. I’d rather watch the Smurfs. Is it really that hard to come up with an original idea? ---

They did some minor redesigning of the characters. Let’s just say that a Looney Tunes world where the Road Runner speaks and gets along with the Coyote is not a world I want to be a part of. Here’s hoping for a short run. ---

You watched two minutes of that? You’re a braver soul than I. I saw just enough of the commercial to hear the phrase “What’s up doc?” raped by Buzz Bunny. Words completely fail me. Emoticons come close though. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: ---

Crap! That was this morning? Guess I’ll have to wait until nextweek to see the suckiness for myself. So, was “Buzz” Bunny the…let’s see if I remember right, the kung-fu master who shot lasers out of his eyes? Was that it? And was Poochie featured at all? ---

Actually, they changed his name to “Ace” Bunny. Here’s the list of the other abominations: Lexi Bunny Danger Duck Tech E. Coyote Slam Tasmanian Rev Runner ---

> [@RandMcnally](#): > > Why would they do that? My suspicion – to make it seem more anime-ish, and hope it attracts a wider audience by doing so. My analysis – they’ve failed badly. By the way, does anyone have a link to a clip from the show or a commercial of some sort? I’m curious in spite of myself. ---

Ironic, since Japanimation is heavily influenced by the immortal Tex Avery. ---

> [@Mr. Blue Sky](#): > > To make the characters “hip” and “cool” and “modern”. If they don’t kill people and/or have sex, it means nothing. (Hell, the other night, the _Powerpuff Girls_ were _killing and eating_ people. :eek: 🆒 ) And, how “anime-ish” were they making it? Were they just blowing things up more than usual, or did they go to the trouble of adding "Teen Titans"esque minor stylistic elements? ---

Terrible. The animation even sucks. It honestly has NO style to it. It’s generic adventure show animation. ---

Their enemies, I mean, not the Powerpuff Girls. And don’t ask me what a “vegetabl;e” is. I have no idea. I think it’s like a vegetable. ---

Or Terri Schaivo sucking them desperately through a feeding tube. Okay, move over. There’s room in this line for all of us. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/loonatics-unleashed-or-whats-up-suck/322105.md?page=2)
