In the words of Peter Griffin: "Why are we not funding this?!"
Danbo 22 shut up and take my money!
@@danielmoore9209 😂😂😂 I keep saying it I don’t see why we can’t have buffy the animation. I mean Netflix approved disenchantment
👱🏻♀️⚰️🧛🏼♂️🧛🏼♂️🧛🏼♂️
Funny how the wisest words ever spoken would be from the most godforsaken person in cartoon history
“Buffy good. We’re having an apocalypse”- Literally the whole series summed up in a line 😂
So essentially supernatural Kim Possible? Nah it's awesome I still love it
+Timetraveling360 Think what Kim Possible did to the Bond films and spy genre. Okay, good, Buffy does much the same to the likes of Dracula and horror, the most solid difference being it's not restricted by Disney's family friendly approach and can have real teeth, scares and emotion (as good as So the Drama to use an example was, it does not cover the idea of Kim setting out to murder Shego in cold blood like Buffy does) in their storytelling.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Buffy and know how large an impact it has. And I love Kim Possible in it's own ways too. I appriaciate both shows for completely diferent reasons. Was just trying to make a light hearted joke. :P
I think Kim Possible was based off Buffy. She even says "What's the sitch" which is from Buffy.
TV Tropes began as a Buffy supersite and has this to say about it.
Spiritual Successor: To what else, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. You have the Action Girl hero in Kim, The Lancer and best friend in Ron, Alpha Bitch cheerleader in Bonnie, evil The Only One Allowed to Defeat You Dark Action Girl in Shego, and instead of poking fun at the likes of Nosferatu the series has James Bond square in it's sights.
Kim Possible, to a certain degree, is one to Darkwing Duck. Kim Possible is also seen as Disney's take on Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
swap Buffy for Kim, Xander for Ron, Cordelia for Bonnie, Faith for
Shego, vampires for spies and you have the basic skeleton. Throw in the meta humor and genre savvy of both series it's clearly a huge influence.
And there's more than a little cribbed from the show, from referencing The Witch to Kim wearing Buffy's gym clothes...look at The Dark Age, carbon copy.
Timetraveling360 If the apocalypse comes, call me, beep me if you wanna reach me.
Willow is weirdly fazed when Buffy mentions fighting a regular vampire, and Xander is weirdly unfazed when Buffy is grabbed by a dragon.
+Connor Lachmanec This was set in season 1 before Willow became a Wicca.
Stephen Walker Yes, but still. Vampires were already canon fodder by then.
Connor Lachmanec Cartoon logic. Sets a new tone.
Season 1? WHY COULDNT THEY JUST MAKE THE CARTOON AFTER THE LIVE ACTION SERIES AND MAKE IT TAKE PLACE LIKE IT DOES IN THE COMICS??
Why are you so shocked that it takes place in season 1? Did you think that it was set in season 8 and Cordelia just magically came back to life Xander grew a new eye and they all decided to go back to high school for fun?
Such a crime that this show was never produced to become a real show. Buffy the Vampire Slayer should return.
Giselle Loren is great here in the animated show and also in the two games, but Sarah Michelle Gellar could be ready to return since she doesn't really have a career anymore. This would certainly give her career some new push.
Misbehave "since she doesn't really have a career anymore." ?? Some fan you are.
Well, in a way it's just the ugly truth.
Of course she kind of faded away on her on decision. She got a family now so that is the priority number one.
Misbehave Well, David Boreanaz also has a family now (incl 2 kids), and yet he's starring in Bones.
He doesn't seem to be of the same opinion that having kids means you have to retire.
But then, that's just what Sarah Gellar is like - perfectionist to the point where she gets exhausted from it too quickly (that's why Buffy ended, by the way - Sarah refused to do another season), and also gets on everyone's nerves by expecting them to work that hard as well. Most people who worked with her seemed to find her bossy. That's probably another reason why she's kinda faded out.
Also, to Elizabeth: Being a fan doesn't mean that you think that they're all perfect. It simply means that you think that they're better than most.
Vousie V Sarah M. Gellar did not retire. She was in at least two TV shows recently. *Recently*.
Plus she's done several films since Buffy.
This looks like it really had potential the girl playing Buffy is a fantastic choice, you can hardly tell it's not Serah Michelle Gellar
I love her voice from the buffy games she did
@@nostoon4332 They need to re"Master" those, especially "The First" game, just update the graphics, make them widescreen, add some achievements. They could even call it, Buffy: ReVamped.
@@thatdrewrivers Spike ReMarstered
@@vladv5126 Niiice! But let me ask you, who would win in a fight, cavemen or astronauts? ;)
@@thatdrewrivers definitely cavemen
Netflix should pick this series up and turn it into the next Original Series
Oh my goodness, YES!
Yes yes yes
I'd rather they animate the plot of the comics, but I'd gladly take this too.
Nathan Gardner No because no channel interest about the series so was cancelled too late
Except Disney owns Buffy.
DUUUDE This is AWESOME!! I wish it got its own full animated series
It did
Yeah, it would be nice if the west respected animation as much as Japan does anime. So much wasted potential.
@@arlothegooddinosaur since when?? Nothing ever aired lmao
I wish seasons 8-10 could be done in this format... That would be amazing.
me too.
They actually had 13 scripts ready to produce the show, but nobody wanted it.
Networks thought it was too childish for adults and too adult to show kids, so there wasn't a place for it on TV.
All the cast were the original stars, except Sarah Michelle Gellar, who didn't want anything to do with it.
Buffy is voiced by Giselle Loren in the cartoons' premier,
I probably would've watched it, just to see what direction it went in.
I doubt the show is too adult for kids these days, so who knows, if Joss Whedon tried again, maybe some network might pick up the show, much to the delight of some fans, and to the horror of others, perhaps?
I think its stupid of them to think that it could be to adult for some or childish for some when seeing the success of the original series. I think the WB had the same worries for Angel when it started and look how it turned out. Also, they could see the success of more mature cartoons like Justice Largue Unlimited and Batman the animated series... So many cartoons that can appeal to both kids and adults... What a shame it wasent picked up for such stupid reasons. Pure insecurities.
Hey Netflix take this please hah
Def not to much for kids i can name so many adult references in courage cowardly dog for god sake
Joss Whedon moved on from making Buffy series, animated or not. Unfortunately...
It is a shame to not have had this, as animation does seem like a fine fit for Buffy, but maybe it's for the best given that SMG wasn't on board.
All I want is for this to still happen with the original cast returning; perfect way to introduce a new generation to Buffy without a complete reboot that would get rid of the original cast.
I agree this would be awesome
it’s like a mix of batman the animated series kim possible avatar and american dragon jake long all rolled into one.
i wanna live in the timeline where this existed because that’s probably an awesome timeline.
This needed STREAMING to make sense. Now's the time!
Maybe the cast of the new audible reboot wouldn't mind going from audio to animation eh?
Because famously streaming has led to quality programming, especially of the animated variety...
Oh wait. Yeah, we got Castlevania but that was an exception. Streaming doesn't help.
If they'd gone to MTV with this, surely that would have been wiser. Not that we know for sure that they didn't, but it's very much the kind of thing they were airing back then.
In any case, it was a cost thing as much as a network thing. Which still means no streaming.
I think this could have worked brilliantly. Keep the animated series in the High School years though.
Hearing Anthony Stewart Head say Morgana makes me think of Merlin.
merlin was a good show i miss it but i think it had a good ending
he actually says Morgala
you have spoken magic, that is a crime off with your head!.
"You sound like a poodle." Lmao
Damn, this pilot looks really good. I like the art direction, and the animation is really smooth. Plus, having most of the actual cast for it? That's just awesome.
And Giselle Loren as buffy--I literally couldn't tell that wasn't SMG.
I kinda wish it'd been picked up, but I guess it wasn't to be.
There are things in the Dark , Dark things MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD
she sounds just like sarah its awsome
she did the voice in buffy the vampire slayer chaos bleeds video game also
She does but then she doesn’t it’s her voice it kinda annoying it almost sounds fake like she wants to sound like Sarah but does I hated that in the games as well
King D’wayne very annoying
not at all....
@@KingSerenity1891 Well maybe if SMG were more open to voicing Buffy in adaptations they wouldn't need to find substitutes like this. Giselle Loren does a fine job. It is what it is.
There should be a Kickstarter to actually make this
Seriously, just make the damn series already.
lol Someone said that kids aren't watching cartoons today. They said "it's all iPhones and iPads"
Uh, what programming do you think they watch on iPhones and iPads? Soap Operas? They have multiple cable networks now dedicated solely to animation. Animation is much, much bigger than it's ever been in the states. A Buffy cartoon would be a smash hit.
BC Rice if they did a cartoon Buffy for kids nowadays it'd probably be a shitty Teen Titans Go knock off.
7 years later and this still rings true
OMG I really wanted to watch this, it reminds me of, X-men evolution, Batman Of The Future and Static Shock
why the heck didn't they make this I think it would of been very popular, I love the Buffy series, but seriously why didn't they make this as well!!!!!
Batman of the future XD It's called Batman Beyond. I'm sorry that's just too funny.
Sorry I used the Uk name XD from the Uk so yeah LoL, Batman Beyond sounds way better though XD
***** I can't tell if it's Americans making things "Extreme" or what XD Batman of the future. Ya learn something new, fun fact of the week
Yeah XD it doesn't matter either way though, all that matters is the show is still awesome XD The more you know ehe hehe :D
***** I haven't seen much of it. Comics tie ins yes. the show no. And even then I only read what I could get my hands on ^^; but they were good
The man who actually plays Giles also played King Uther in Merlin and his daughter was named Morgana
He's in Doctor Who and Little Britain among lots of other things
The animation reminds me of Batman Begins.
I know that show was so soulful. Why did no one pick this up?
Beyond*
This is what we need. a buffy cartoon. NOT A REBOOT.
If they had tried doing now in 2021, they would have had no problems finding someone to air, like CZcams or ANY streaming service, so much potential.
Netflix
I still think there are fans that would love to see more of this. ( estimate cost 20k to make this promo) a full ep would probably cost 100k
Maybe since Disney owns it they could make this a reality
Buffy the Vampire Slayer 97.
Too bad this did not go down it would have made great entertainment they can still make it today.
can we start some sort of petition to get this made? or kidnap Whedon till he does? i dunno something needs to be done, i need this in my life.
I love Buffy the vampire slayer I totally think they need to make an animated series.
It’s a crime that this show was never produced, this had so much potential and should’ve continued like the comic series.
ohh shit where the hell did this come from?!?!? With all their voices. I would take this just because they could never age in a cartoon
Only one of them does not reprise as Buffy.
Man that’s some good animation, Shane it never got picked up
If only it was possible that ten million people put one dollar up for Kickstarter we could have ten episodes or five dollars we could have 50 episodes lol
Or, if everyone who viewed this could put forth 10 dollars.
Or if Netflix could be reminded things like this are waiting to be made. Seriously, they greenlighted Voltron, The Croods, Young Justice and Mr. Peabody and Sherman.
Considering how many adult and young adult animated series there are now you would think they could have made this work at some point... ahhh if only
This would've been fun. Too bad it wasn't to be.
I wish at least one or two full episodes had been made.
yaknow, this would be an awesome series, even if the original cast didn't play in the voices. haha it's awesome! the fight scenes are perfect, the sarcasm is even more perfect and the art style is beyond perfect!
Yeah, I thought Giselle Loren did a good SMG imitation
Yeah, I thought Giselle Loren did a good SMG imitation
I love the artstyle
WHY ISN'T THIS A THING, I NEED THIS TO BE A THING
This should’ve been picked up as an actual series,it has so much potential,we need more shows like this
You should email all the comments from people who would love to see the Animated Buffy series become a reality, to Joss Whedon ....... God only knows why they never went through with this, but the way that animators have way more freedom, now-a-days, with the content in their work, right now would be the perfect time to release this series. Joss, get off your ass and give your Buffy fans the animated series they're dying for!!!!! Thank you....... Love you guys!!!!
We need this to be made. Nothing else will do.
Love the Batman Animated series style artwork. This was epic.
This would have been a good cartoon, sucks it was never picked up
“There are things in the dark, dark things.”
Lol!
I want this so bad. They should just all return to the tv and continue on with the story. I love me some Buffy.
THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE!!!( anime form could make it better)C'mon Buffy people complain to Joss Whedon on social media so we can have this. This generation ( except me and a few others ) doesn't know about Buffy!!!.
14y later & I still want a BTVS Animated series!
The potential in this series can be great! Hulu should pick this up!
This would be a great way to find out what happened during the summer months. Nothing seemed to happen June, July, and August.
Giselle Loren does a great job as Buffy. Very sound-alike.
It would have been cool if they had made a point of transforming all of the characters into a 2D cartoon land and then just continuing the show's run like that. Kind of like how they used puppets on Angel.
"Oh, but gosh. What'll happen if you and Cordelia are wearing the same color? It'll be you know, a thing!" Cartoon!Giles is so perfect. Wish this really existed.
there's no way in hell Buffy is surviving that fall from the sky
Lego Buffy The Vampire Slayer needs to happen!
Whedon should have made this into a series had Fox Kids not sold to Disney.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that fire breathing terror is actually Morgana herself. Given that in Arthurian legends she was a powerful sorceress and able to change her form. Particularly a dragon.
I wish this had happened so badly. I mean, the pacing is a little rushed, but come on, it could have worked. It could have rivaled Gargoyles and Batman: The Animated Series!
This is so enjoyable, they should make this a thing! Someone has to make a petition to air this, or get someplace online to pick it up at least...
I hope. Buffy. Animated. Series. Comes. To Netflix next. Fall. 2021
This is so Amazeballs!!! Wishing there was more. :(
That was AWESOME! And, lol, Xander. "The harder they what?"
that animation style reminds me of scooby doo mystery incorporated
For a second there I thought that was Will Freidle playing Xander.
over a million views , this vid has received lots of attention , someone should produce this series
Honestly,I hope this show is a kid-friendly TV-Y7-FV rated show. I have never heard Of this until now. Sucks it ended up being cancelled with no episodes aired,even though though the script are completed and the animation is done.
this so needs to happen!
I want a hard core buffy anime whedon has already written like 20 something books. They can redo the whole story in a anime and introduce new people to buffy
THIS is AWESOME :D
Freaking NICE!!! now i want to watch it!! i miss Buffy!!!!!!! x(
I never get tired of watching this. As a Buffy follower since the movie and the beginning of the entire series and now the comic book, I really wish they had made this show. It looks great. I can't believe they couldn't get any network to bite. It is an expensive show considering the animation I'm told but Buffy fans would eat it up! Buffy was never cancelled! Sarah and Joss decided to end it. Buffy fans would want more!
omg, why was this not apart of my early Saturday morning cartoons 😭😭 this seems like it would've been a classic
Why is this SO GOOD
I'm gonna go ahead and add my voice to the other voices asking for Netflix to pick this up as it's next original series.
Buffy without Sarah Michelle Gellar is not Buffy.
I'd rather stick to the awesome comics, thank you.
The comics don't have Sarah Michelle Gellar either.
you know what I mean... * rolls eyes *
@@TheFlyingVideo likeness though
This woulda been wicked the animation looks excellent!
Thats prob one of the best audio doubles ive ever heard
AHH their voices are the same! Its so great!!
I would have watched the hell out of this...
Damn that was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I've never watched the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer series but this makes me wanna binge. ETFLIX LET'S GOOOO
honestly i can see why this would not be good for early season stuff, however season 8- onwards+ angel season 6 onwards would have been great in this format
They should try and get as much of the cast as they can, and do this for season 8-10 maybe do a season or 2 and see how it does.
Is it just me or did anyone else laugh when he said "There are dark things in the dark"
oh my god I need this
Pedro Henrique Barreto de Lima OK and
.Pedro Henrique Barreto de Lima well it's not relevant to me, and even if I was Catholic I'm already going to hell for many worse things than saying God's name in vain. Thanks though.
Pedro Henrique Barreto de Lima Don't be so ridiculous. keep that in church.
So cool.. almost 15 years old this vid is??? Damn.. Kinda looks like the old Sabrina cartoon animation, just a bit newer and more dark/adult like
This animation style falls right between Stripperella and Batman: The Brave and the Bold. So Nostalgic!
This looks so good 😞 why did we never get a whole season.
I would absolutely watch this! If they picked this up from the end of the series to continue with the stoirs would be great! Fans should write in I know I will!
We seriously need this. ;) It looks like fun!
Okay. How does an animated series of one of the best shows ever made NOT get made, when Buffy's gonna fight a freaking dragon fist to claw in only this short moment?
If this actually had been picked up they should have made it serious, and make it just a sequel to the actual series. THEN people would have been interesting in purchasing it.
Brendan Reymann it was aimed at kids who hadn't seen the original.
"The harder they what?"
Never change, Xander.
This would have been really good I wish they showed more Spike in this though.
Ten years later and I want this to happen yesterday.
10 years already :(
Please make this series come true 😭
After all the shit we learned about Joss Whedon, not going to happen. There was that one Buffy comic issue drawn in the cartoon style, but that’s about it.
I don't like that this is set during season 1, I need me some Spike in my life!
Same here
#SpikeForPresident
Despite it being set during S1, Dawn would've been in the show.
Would´ve been great to see Dark Willow in this animated series.
samee
Thanks for uploading this should of bed out on Netflix
how the hell did this not get made?? its a buffy fans wet dream!!
+Nate B Actually, my Buffy wet dreams go slightly differentyl
