This is a follow up to a post I wrote a long-ass time ago, all the way back in the balmy summer of 2008. Back then I’d mentioned that Warren Ellis was writing a darker grittier (read: PG13) version of one of my favorite after school cartoons G.I. Joe. Since then previews of said cartoon/anime/what-have-you have begun to popped up on the interwebs, and I figured I might as well share them with you too.
…After a quick hop over to Adult Swim I see that the episodes have started airing. Personally, I like what I’ve seen so far. It’s definitely grittier than the original, and the refresh that they tried a few years ago. G.I. Joe Resolute will likely appeal to most anime fans, even if you weren’t a fan of the original series. (Sacrilege!) So, hop on over to Adult Swim and check out episodes 1-8, or you can wait until Saturday, April 25th when they will air Resolute in it’s entirety at 12 midnight (check your local listings for exact time).
