Animated Intro (http://www.cartoonbrew.com/tv/bets-black-panther.html)

Apparently its only being aired in Australia, 2 episodes in I think. I read from other forums, the animations isn't too great. From the looks of the opening intro, it look like something from the early 90's.

Looks like the old Johnny Quest cartoons

I haven't been hearing great things about this toon. The common conception is that the animation is slightly better than a "Motion comic" with Romita Jr. style art. And from the clips I've seen, that's not very far off. Some of the voice work is poor as well (looks at Captain America).

Ok, i just saw the first two episodes and I gotta say that I really like it. The animation and subject matter of the show is a bit closer to the old MTV cartoons like The Maxx - or like the moion comics that Tokyopop has released in the past. It's a bit higher quality than the astonishing X-men motion comic, and feels a little like a more mature samurai jack with the pacing of the shows.
and really, the X-men segment in episode two was hysterical.
I hope this lasts for more than four or five episodes.

Obviously it will, silly face. The first 6 episodes are based on the first 6 issues of Reginald's mixed run. :P. I heard it was a mini-series when news of the toon was originally floating around, but it seems to be going on past episode 6 now, so I'm thinking it'll have a full season (12-26 episodes).
