Invasion America

I don't remember this series too well, since it aired some years ago, and I havent been able to see it since. But, I do remember it being a great great series, one of the few decent things to come out of American animation studios lately (they're too taking perfectly good anime and screwing them up to make them bad for the American audience). While much could be said about plot holes and stuff like that, I won't say it, because not everything needs to be analyzed that closely. This show got me really excited and interested, and i was glued to the set while it was on... The only problem with the show is that it ended almost without being expected to... it didnt end as neatly and cleanly as a TV miniseries should, and it really really should have returned the next summer. I remember that last night, seeing the final screen "end of book one" and waiting, wondering why there was never an ep saying "beginning book two"...

I remember when this was being touted and praised for being groundbreaking or lines along this on TV guide and that this was a work produced by the great Steven Spielberg. Hmmm. I was very excited about, 1. Evening Animation show! 2. Genre: Science-fiction, action and 3. Finally, variety of evening programs just like in Japan, where they have movies featuring live filmed actors and then there are the animation shows they have: So much variety, so much inspiration, all manner of quality.

So, when this American Invasion aired on Channel 4 or 5 here in California, my anticipation disappeared as the look of the dull animation combined with the familiar dull story and just the monotony of it, it no longer held my interest and it is a false hope. Nothing for me to see, moved right along. It isn't anything. Nothing innovative. Just big hype announcements and a name behind it, but for me, again, nothing there.

I love this mini series that was shown on The Warner Bros. tv network this summer. We, the fans, understand there are five books involved in the telling of this hero myth in space. I hope that DreamWorks can produce at least the second installment, Book Two. They have become a sufficient competitor of Disney in that field, with their two animated releases this summer, ANTZ and PRINCE OF EGYPT.

INVASION AMERICA prempted an established tv series the nights it aired and that may have hurt its' ratings, but an animated show on prime time is unusual anywhere.

It just shows that a dramatic story can be told in the animation format.

Invasion America was one of the best examples of animated primetime drama it has ever been my privilege to witness.One can only hope that this series was only the first of many programs of this calibre.I salute the screenwriter's talent;the plot was absolutely superb!May this series return for many more seasons.

Invasion America was really great! I watched it thinking it might be alright. I thought it was going to be a tv video. Then they talked about the next episode, so I thought it was a series. I started to love the show, and then all of a sudden they say that they wrapping up the series, and I found out that it was actually just a miniseries. But anyway, it almost as cool as Star Wars. The story was ingenius. If you get the chance to see this, please do!
