What Transformers Animated and Hannah Montana has taught me.

Transformers Animated has taught me that after several anime incarnations of Transformers, Cartoon Network (with the help of MOOK DLE, The Answer Studio and Studio 4?C) can pick up the ball and make a decent show out a hasbro property from the 80s.

Hannah Montana has taught me that girls are till into larger than life pop princesses with duel identities.

Where am I going with this? With some modern improvements to its story (ala TF: Animated), I think a new Jem series would be able to work. If Cartoon Network did it, it would be even better.
 
I know that Bob Skir received death threats for BMachs, but personally I think it and BW are the pinnacle of what TFs can be.

BMachs actually changed the status quo of the entire TF Universe, and for that I respect it.
 
Beast Machines is my favorite. TF:Animated, I can only tolerate as a tribute/love letter to all versions of Transformers.

As for Jem ... YES. I've thought the same thing. In fact, it would be interesting to see Jem done in the style of TF:Animated. Though I'm not too big on that style, Jem seems well-suited for it. An anime-style Jem could work also.
 
I sometimes babysit a 10 year old boy, he likes skateboarding, WWE and heavy metal music, yet he comes over and watches Hanna Montana and I-Carly, I even put an action show on CN for him before and as soon as he came in he switched to Hanna Montana. The funny thing is, kids don't even LAUGH at Hanna Montana, if it weren't for the laugh track they wouldn't even know it was a comedy. :sad:
 
Yeah. I can't talk since I watched Jem.

I also just watched the entire "Nana" anime series recently and I read Shojo Beat. Except for Death Note, I can't stand the Shonen Jump manga.
 
Reminds of me...if you take out the wrestling and heavy metal. Anyway, I doubt a Jew series could happen at this time, especially with CN. They are aiming at boys, and Jew (to my knowledge) is aimed at girls. I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying it won't happen anytime soon. And with Hannah Montana, these days most comedies don't make you laugh...they entertain you with their desperate attempts to do so! ;)
 
As well written as beast wars was, i missed the TFs interacting with the modern world and the transforming into cars/planes/etc. Transformers: animated has that and does it well.
 
Then I have to say that I win. I've seen and/or read:

Rainbow Brite
My Little Pony
The Little Mermaid
As Told By Ginger
Marmalade Boy
Tokyo Mew Mew Ala Mode
Kare Kano
Imadoki

I'm looking into watch some Jem episodes myself.
