"The world of the iconic "Usagi Yojimbo" comic books is coming to television for the first time. Netflix is teaming with Gaumont on a CGI animated series titled "Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles," which is based on the 35-year-old comic book series by Stan Sakai. Rather than centering around the comic books' protagonist Miyamoto Usagi, the series will take place in the far future and follow the teen age Rabbit Samurai Yuichi, descendant of the aforementioned great warrior, on his epic quest to become a true samurai. Yuichi will lead a ragtag team of misfit heroes - including a roguish bounty hunter, a cunning ninja, an acrobatic pickpocket and a faithful pet lizard - as he battles depth-charging moles, metal-tipped winged bats, and monsters from another dimension, all in the pursuit to become the best samurai Usagi." Stan Sakai will be an executive producer. Mumbai-based 88 Pictures will do the CGI animation. No release date has been announced yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
