Into every generation a slayer is born ...
I’m a fan of opening credits and miss the days that shows had them, instead viewers are now stuck with a four-second bumper with the title of the show they are currently watching. Only a few shows on cable TV networks such as AMC, FX, HBO, and Showtime still have opening credits. It’s fun to watch those intros and Stephen Byrne, a talented illustrator, created an awesome opening that continues Buffy’s adventures of slaying the undead.
Back in 2002, we almost got an animated version of the slayer that was going to take place during the show’s first season. Unfortunately that project didn’t move forward. Thanks to Byrne, we can see another animated version of our favorite slayer titled “The Animated Adventures of Buffy.” He’s gone above and beyond by adding many Easter eggs from the seven years it was on air and adds elements from it’s comic book continuation from Dark Horse comics. Check out the opening below and to see more of his artwork, including another animated video with Doctor Who, check out Stephen’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ArtworkOfStephenByrne.

Great post! I love the video.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Emily. I wish this would become an animated series. I, for one, would watch it religious. I also love all the easter eggs in the video. My favs were: Oz turning into a werwolf; Xander, Willow, and Dawn summoning the ghosts of Tara and Anya; Buffy's love triangle with Angel and Spike; and Sweet making Buffy dance during a campfire.
