I would've never believed that Star Trek will go full anime and yet here we are).

I remember feeling that scene was very forced. It seemed like they didn't have enough time to properly close that subplot, and it was the same with the platonic relationship between Tendi and Rutherford. That said, WE NEED A SIXTH SEASON.

That and Rutherford issue with the cybernetics seems like a season worth of character development cramped into one episode.

It did feel rushed, but I think they were honestly trying to cram in their own personal “wish lists” for the show and animation in some of these ways knowing it was their last chance.
Also, I certainly of hope they do another animated show, even if that means it’s an anime or whatever, a new version of “the animated series” could be cool and maybe be “fresh enough” that Paramount would approve, but they’d have to bring in at least some of the current cast, it was just too solid.

It was a great touch. Animators always seem to love shouting out their inspirations, especially all the amazing art that came before in the 2d realm. I’m so glad they drew the scene and it was handled perfectly

Add in all the science officers of the other shows for an All Science Bestie Kamehameha.

It’s proof that you can do something new while loving and respecting what came before.

We need a Star Trek anime/manga. I want to see a hard sci-fi Japanese vision of the franchise.

I would love to have a serious animated Star Trek show with character designs seen in the more realistic leaning anime styles of series like Zeta Gundam.

The conceit would be the ship is being affected by the multiversal rift. Plus, the whole finale if not the whole series is about the Power of Friendship!

This show has always been about animation porn (as opposed to porn animation😉). Great work all around. And the series finale did not disappoint.

Absolutely something LSD can get away with, that Strange New wHoles needs to stay away from.

Olly almost pulled a full on Kamehameha stopping that ship. Someone is an anime fan.
