I was a little apprehensive when I heard the big announcement that it was an animated feature, turns out I needent have worried.
So many franchises are barely recognisable to their original fans. Whether thats for better or worse depends which side of the argument you are on.
But with Straczynski keeping the helm steady, B5 managed to make the jump from live action to animation and still feel like authentic B5, along with providing us an entertaining and enjoyable standalone story as well as a secret door option for a reboot/continuation, without undoing or ruining what came before.
Seeing so many beloved characters back in the screen was heart warming. Knowing exactly how many have been recast because the the actors/actresses died young is heart breaking.
But seeing everyone go around one more time was a genuine treat.
