Good "Remake", US voices lack quality and timing, art direction is 10.

It is not a real remake because story was modified. The art direction added a anime feel to the old cartoon. The ~23 minutes story are pretty short sometimes and lacks a feeling of continuity. I'll throw it an 8, because the original Japanese voices are better, and the American version used few voice actors, which in my opinion offends the greatness the cartoon deserves. Some episodes use the same voice actor for 3 voices (see Trivia above). However, the action, climaxes and richness of details, and the quality of animation raises the bar for what many cartoons lack, reaching a Dragon Ball Z-like level, without the unnecessary delay in chapters.

Scale explanation: Scales are flawed, but if DBZ/Kai was considered 9, Saint Seya is 8,5, the new Thundercats deserves an 8, while the old one deserves an 7,5. You might ask "Who is 9~10"? 9: "Record of Lodoss War", Batman Animated Series. 9,5: The Lion King, Ice Age. 10: The well-know japan classic "Akira" and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (series).

score 8/10
