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?

even Warner's been reluctant to venture far back into animation, despite Batman's success

But Disney's had no problem milking the Marvel franchise for TV cartoons, with some success. Anyway, I assume from the "Star Trek Anime" subject line, that Jeriendhal might be thinking of marketing a new TAS toward the anime fanbase (both here and abroad). Again, there are anime adaptations of Marvel properties; and the anime-esque "Avatar: The Last Airbender" has caught on with a lot of anime fans despite its domestic production.
