New family-adventure animated series Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles comes with a side of nostalgia for adults as it flies the flag for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise.
With a long history within comic books and based on Stan Sakai’s action fantasy comic Usagi Yojimbo, the 10-episode Netflix offering has retro roots with the character Miyamoto Usagi appearing in 1987, in 2003 and in the 2012 CG-animated series.
The series is based on Yuichi, a 'descendent of Miyamoto Usagi; a legendary anthropomorphised samurai rabbit' from the original series.
Usagi, along with Chizu, Gen and Kitsune, is on a mission to 'clean up the mess he’s made. But the situation is far stranger than they could have imagined'.
Set in the futuristic city of Neo Edo, Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles 'follows the story of Yuichi Usagi, a teenage swordsman and distant descendant to the legendary warrior Miyamoto Usagi'.
With the help of a colourful team of warrior pals, Yuichi and his gang will be up against frightening creatures from another dimension in order to save Neo Edo and become a true samurai warrior.
Fans applauded: "Watching it now and it’s really good!!!"
A second added: "So happy this is happening Stan. Can't wait to check it out."
A third praised: "I'm looking forward to it, my kids love reading your comics with me."
