So, Cartoon Network has begun airing the brand new Fantastic Four animated series as a means to tie-in with the recent Fantastic Four live action feature films. Is it any good? Well, I wasn’t thoroughly impressed with the first episode, but there’s a chance it’ll grow on me once more characters and villains are introduced and the series begins to hit its stride.

Read my full review of the first episode, Right Here!

The animation for the show is the typical “fake anime” approach which gives the show a “Totally Spies” or “Martin Mystery”-vibe. That is *not* a good thing. The lip-syncing is also pretty off, leaving a real disconnection between the emotion in the voice and the appearance of the character. I will say that, during the fight scenes, the animation definitely picked up. I liked Ben’s brief scrap with Ronin the Accuser, however short it was.
