Random Thought Table: Star Trek Anime

[jeriendhal]

Given it's been about forty years since the demise of Star Trek: The Animated Series, and the recent success of the Star Trek film reboot, is there any particular reason why Paramount hasn't expanded one of their most successful franchises into animation again, even as made for DVD movies?

Because animation is a fairly fringe market in that context, and most recent attempts to do something like that have tanked. Note that the ST: TAS wasn't a huge commercial success, either.

I dunno; there have been two separate animated series last decade about the Clone Wars...

But doing it badly can kill the idea. Anyone remember Stargate: Infinity?

Never heard of it. I see.
