I was just gunna post this! We'll probably see Season 2 even if its only on DVD, so whatever its great! I just wish we'd get a few more toys before the towel gets thrown in.

[krazycp]

My prediction is 2 seasons, 4 waves of toys. That would be the minimum, imho.

Id say 2 seasons and prehaps a 3rd wave over sea's. Bandai sticks it in and breaks it off like that.

Sound promising to me! Hopefully rating will continue to be strong. Also I am hoping that a wave 3 is seen sometime in early summer and that they have a stronger selection. I may be overly optimistic, but between the switch to Saturday mornings/better ratings and a new wave I think things could really improve!

[Joe Moore]

Moved out to a new thread so everyone catches this.

[Ravenxl7]

Definitely sounds promising for a second season. Meaning that if nothing goes wrong, we'll at least have a total of 52 episodes. I'd love to see this show continue on to have five seasons total (would make it just as long as the original), but I'm not going to hold my breath for that.

ThundercatsNOW reposted the image on Twitter so those of you who can't see the FB pic should be able to see it there.

Also want to clarify that the "In the studio. Today....etc." was my words.

These were Matt's words.
"From inside the booth this morning. A bunch of talented knuckleheads."

and later on in the comments after people were trying to guess who everyone was.
"Madeline, Robin, and Will. You guys were right on!"

[Joe Moore]

Thanks for the clarification.

Not too surprising with how outsourcing animation to Japan typically works. They do the voice track after the animation typically. Not sure how it's working with this series though for certain. It can vary depending on the contract with the studio they are using. I still say the fears were premature though. The show seems to be doing pretty strong in its current block. It's gaining a larger kid audience now, and with the UK even outright having a T-Cats magazine all signs are pointing to good for now. Everything else will probably be NYCC and SDCC or next year's toy fair.

The lack of the CN announcement doesn't really mean anything at all. It's not the first time they've done that with a show that already premiered what they were calling a new season.

[Balgus82]

Thundercats has been doing the voice work before the animation is done, not after. They had finished recording the first season mid last year.

[Balgus82]

Gah don't celebrate too soon guys. Just in from Matt:

"This was for an ADR episode, but if you folks want to keep seeing more Thundercats action, let Cartoon Network and Warner Bros know! The show is doing great, but be LOUD about your appreciation! Write them, call them, spread the word. Get more friends hooked! Call your local toy stores and ask about the toys. Let's keep this show going! ♥"

[adssse]

Whats an ADR episode?

[Balgus82]

ADR is Additional Dialogue Recording. It's when they go back for additional work after it's animated to fix problems and stuff.

Which pretty much means they're still fine tuning the end of this season.

[SirSapphire]

It's kind of cool to see that Thundercats is, at least partially, recorded radio-style; That is, with as many members of the cast recording together as they can. It gives them an opportunity to play off each others performance and leads to better voice acting.

[Balgus82]

Yeah I believe the only one that recorded alone was Larry Kenny because he doesn't live in California.

Wilykit, Mumm-Ra/Addicus, and Lion-O.

[MegatronWolf]

well at least we know we're getting more episodes and the series isnt ending suddenly.

[hollowdheart]

I thought it was just additional dialogue sessions?
