Highlander: The Animated Series

Show Summary

"seven centuries have passed since the earth plunged into darkness, seven centuries since the Jettatur swore to regain from man his lost knowledge and freedom, all the Immortals took the oath, all except one. Who dominates the world, but soon an Immortal will come to confront him, his name is Quentin MacLeod, he is the Highlander."

The sammury was taken directly off the DVD's intro video, it is knowned as Highlander the animated series has a completely different atmosphere with the world it lives in ( farther in the future ) Quentin Macleod the last Macleods, destined to face his destiny too defeat Kortan and to finish off where Connor Macleod who failed to succeed by betraying his oath and lost the battle.Now Quentin is the Highlander that must defeat accomplish his destiny to win.

Little more too know, this series is what you may consider impossible to have. But now, that now you no need to wories, I have discovered that this can be purchased by pre-order on amazon, original release date is in December although, and it contains all 40 episode on 4 discs. If you really want this series Amazon.com is your key.

For those how do not know about this cartoon, it is highlander. But is was mainly to intertain the younger audiences such as kids to get into the highlander world. Seems like many disliked this series with reason of" not heads chop off". In my opinion it dont matter, all that really mattered the cartoon was very well made, it was interesting, it had some feeling which makes you want to watch it more and more till you see what happends next.

This is a very unique peice of work, you should consider to check it when you can if interested.

This was the stuff back in the day. Even though they would never show a beheading on screen. And came up with the whole transference of knowledge through a sword thing instead.

It was a pretty cool show, still had action, drama, and the whole post apocolyptic future thing was cool too. It was made to entertain children, not adults.

So I count this show as one of my more fonder memories of childhood.

I remember thinking it seemed like a cartoon version of Highlander2:The Quickening

What I thought was messed up was that in the first episode, they killed off Connor, and AFTER he gave over his power. Yeah, in the series, Immortals now had the option of passing on their knowledge willingly in lieu of beheading.
