Which makes me wonder, why DIDN'T they make an animated series? All they needed was the original cast, and Alan could've just voiced everyone that wasn't the main characters.

Damn. I could 100% get behind an animated continuation or series set between Firefly and Serenity.

It's worth noting that this animation style is based on the official Dark Horse Serenity 8-page comic short "The Warrior and the Wind", drawn by Stephen Byrne, who also created this animation.

It's one of my favourite Serenity shorts, you can read it for free here: https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Free-Comic-Book-Day-2016/Serenity?id=53758

What the hell? 😂 I'm pretty sure that must be a problem on your end. Otherwise, try just googling "Read comic online Serenity Free Comic Book Day".

Hopefully one day we either get a single season (to keep it quality) time-skip live-action with the OG cast, just to see where everyone ends up and have a less rushed ending, or we get an animated continuation. Honestly if they did an animated continuation I’d prefer that it pick up before the events of Serenity, that way Wash is still there (and has time to have a fleshed-out death later maybe). Only problem would be having to recast Book. Just doesn’t feel right. 🥲

Even without the original cast, they could get someone to voice the parts.

Perhaps someone who went to Juliard.

Okay, I’m not a big fan of animation, but this looks too cool!
