Hi there people,

have you seen the page of the preliminary designs for the OG animated series?
I did it. And I had a bad impression from what I've seen. I really didn't like all of this OG 5.

First: the Neri from the cartoon doesn't look like the Neri we all know,she's completely different: the hair, the face, and all the rest.
Plus, the author of the page I red, says Neri is 17. OK, this could be an author's error, but it's a particular which I think is a little important.

Second: there isn't Mera. Maybe they haven't yet make her preliminary designs, but I really think they completely forgot her.

Third: instead of Mera, there are a lot of "anthropomorphous animals", as I call them. They are the classical animals who pose like humans, and which have the role of the joker. Well, I never liked this kind of characters, nor their sense of humor (but this is only my personal opinion, of course); but these characters aren't planned very well.
One of them is Neri's robotic dog, which she got as a going away present when she left Earth. Whaaat? Who could ever give Neri a robotic dog? Jason? Brett? Hellegreen? Elly Hauser? ("Oh Neri, you saved my life, so I give you a robotic dog"). Another of these animals is...a sort of gorilla, it seems. A gorilla on the Ocean planet? It sounds not very likely, I think. The only animal presence I like is Mandrool, because it's Charley's equivalent on the Ocean planet. Looking at the webpage of the preliminary designs, these animals seem to be more numerous than the human characters.

Fourth: there's a king, who seems to be the king of Oceana. OK, and Neri's mother, where is she?

Fifth: the author of the webpage write "Neri can live in and out of water as all of the Royal Family can." What? All her people can survive (not exactly living) underwater like whales, and not only the royal family; "She is an accomplished pilot and can operate a mini-sub." Neri is an accomplished pilot? Oh, and who teached her how to pilot? Did she attend one of O.R.C.A.'s lessons?

I admit to be very critical, perhaps too critical, but I really don't like what I've seen of this OG 5. It's too different from the OG that I loved during these years, that TV show which made me dream more than once.
This cartoon seems to be like an ordinary cartoon whose main target are babies and children who never saw the live action series. I don't have anything against the cartoons for children, but if the OG cartoon has to be so similar to many other cartoons (while the live action series was different from ordinary live action series).

I said all that I had to say. I'll go in U.S.A. to spent my vacances this year, on the western coast. When I come back, I'd like to know your opinion about the OG animated series, whatever it is. Love and peace, ppl!

Zdravo,
