I have been away too long! SO much has happend.  I got a scarry email about my acount going to be deleted so i fly over to put a stop to that, and I find out about a re-release? and POSSIBLE 2.0?  that is such FANTASTIC news.  weather they update them or not i think this is a wonderful thing.  Just dont change them too much, which doesnt sound like the case so far.  Im now 23 and i will do my part by exposing all my nieces and nephews to the series, i guess uncle adam will prob be buying them books! (sorry to those nicer than me i just dont trust the youngins with MY books just yet! Heck for the longest time they were some of the only ones left)

all in all a good day.  

one question to the topic at hand, if and i understand it is IF, they get a 2.0 or rather a continuation/reboot, has anything been confirmed or even rumored that katherine and michael will come back



*just checked my profile, it would seem all my old posts are gone as i have 1 now.  thats ok though i guess, prob only had like 60 somthing before and i have been away for a while.  maybe just know for those who might remeber me, im the same old vashts as always.*

I actually can't imagine Katherine and Michael would be too interested in jumping on board for another Animorphs series- chances are we'd get another author. I'm honestly not remarkably optimistic about a 2.0 being approved, but I could be wrong. It would certainly help if the Animorphs relaunch has the full support of this community ;)

 why would they need another author? if they relaunch the series they would just need to fine tune some stuff. the changes would probably just be aesthetic.

Scholastic is definitely re-launching the original series, probably early next year. From what I've heard, they're essentially using the relaunch as a way to test the market and see if an Animorphs 2.0 (sequel series) is viable. If the relaunch does well, we may get an Animorphs 2, but it's no more than speculation at this point.

Okay, so I’ve been reading through and thinking a lot about this. Firstly, I don’t really like the idea of a continuation… Like maybe one book… But the whole ‘fun’ of the novels for me was the animorphs fighting and living with double lives.

Something I would like however is a ‘new band’ of animorphs. It was suggested earlier that they could intertwine stuff the new animorphs do to make stuff in the old series make sense. I think it makes sense for this new group to be somewhere like the UK, maybe London, to get away from the whole small town vibe they had in the originals?

Anyways, they would pretty much have to die before the war went public… I would love it if they finally found out about the other ones and died to save them.

Having said that, they could begin there fight earlier. One of the biggest questions in Animorphs is “why does Elfangore have the Escafil device on his ship?” It strikes me that the ‘new guys’ could have done something to cause that. Don’t ask me what, I suck at ideas!

I would like them to be about the same age, but have the books have more sex drugs and rock n roll.

I still want them to alter the original series, despite the fact that I got misty eyed a few pages ago when a member talked about a world where "powerpuff girl marathons still happend and Arnie could save a drowning man."

The point here is that the nineties mean very little to those born in 99. We have to realise that those are gonna be the kids on here if this thing happens.

And don't worry, if we ever want the originals, thats what they are there for. Plus, having a new set of books will give us something to complain about, and like fans of the original star wars we are way cooler than anyone who likes the prequels.

Thank you and goodnight :D

Yeah once you get to a place with a mall or superwalmart, you aren't in a small town anymore imo.

Finding out about this possibly happening makes me so excited!

If only my books weren't in storage. I actually did a full re-read through all of them about a year ago. So much stuff I know I wouldn't have picked up on the first time around.

The idea of a Euro-animorphs sounds cool. I'd read that. But then, I'd fork out my money all over again if they just did a re-release of the originals.

Also, they better make a movie. It's be so wicked awesome I think I'd die.

Actually it was more of a city, in book 45 Ax said dropping the nuke would kill over 30 000 people, so it's NOT a small town, a very large town or small city yes.
