Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I heart the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series. Seriously - probably my favourite show of all time. So when I heard about the animated series they were doing, I wasn't sure how I felt about it. I still don't.
Apparently, they're doing it so that it takes place during Season 1, when they're still in highschool, before Willow switched teams, and while Angel and Cordelia are there too. They're bringing Dawn back as a 10 year old, and of course, Giles is around.
Allyson Hannigan, Anthony Stewart Head, and Nicholas Brendan are back to voice Willow, Giles, and Xander. But here's the thing - Sarah Michelle Gellar is not the voice of Buffy this time. I don't know who it is, but it's not her, and to me, she's kind of what made the show.
Her voice, her acting. Watching this teaser clip, I can see that the tone of the show is all there, with the same sort of dialogue and everything. But hearing someone else's voice as Buffy is strange. Still not sure how I feel. I'll have to give this a few days before I fully decide.
In the meantime, watch this clip and see how you like it.
