    Nick then wb was trying to make this into a movie for years and could never get it off the ground. Would make a epic animated series if done right. If you never read bone they are great fantasy books but like harry potter get dark near the end!

    Fantastic news! :)  As a fellow fan of the series this sounds promising.

    I started reading Bone around the time Smith took it to Image. Got hooked, bought all the back issues (as reprints, at that time the first printings were crazy valuable and expensive), still own the nine hardcovers to this day.

    I suppose the series will be animated in color, but I almost wish they'd have the balls to do it in black-and-white, as that's the way I remember the series looking.

    My daughter started reading Bone when she was in elementary school and it was in the library there.
    She now has the massive collected edition, the side stories and the artist book (huge, expensive hard cover book). She also was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Smith at a comic con years ago and he signed a nice stuffie of the main character for her.
    She's 17 now and still loves the series. If this comes to fruition, she will be thrilled.

    Netflix is truly now run by morons. This type of indecision and random planning is why they have had so many mediocre shows lately.

    They started trying to appeal to the tik tok/ twitter crowd a few years ago and since then we have gotten shows that are supposed to appeal to everyone, or shows that subvert the original concept. So they basically appeal to no one and push away old school fans.

    Only reason I keep Netflix at this point for streaming is for my Mother, I do use it's DVD/ Blu Ray rental services though.

    Animation Industry Twitter's pretty heartbroken by the news. Besides the obvious lost jobs, apparently Netflix has been offering some of the highest animation guild wages to be competitive, even compared to the same jobs over at Disney.

    I'm thinking we will likely see more animation projects crowd funding projects like Vox machina in the future. You can't count on studios, most of them currently have no idea how to market to an audience anymore. They keep hiring idiots who subvert their licensed characters with a fan following and then wonder why no one is watching their shows and keep cancelling all the projects with any merit.

    I'm betting Arcane will be cancelled, now.
    I'm sad Bone didn't make it.

    Netflix can't handle all of the controversy they're putting themselves through. Between ruining beloved shows, Dave Chappelle (let's not go deeper than a name drop, please), a massive wave of cancellations across the board (at least 5 shows in one fell swoop), being completely tone deaf on a lot of things, and now shuttering their animation division and rumors of "staged" data...

    They've become a complete set of clown shoes. It's like they're actively trying to implode and close down. It's becoming the streaming equivalent of Kmart and Sears.

    The big public stink they're causing about cracking down more on password sharing (and putting the blame on that) sure isn't helping their image.

    I only JUST learned that there were plans to adapt Bone.

    I'm gonna be really bummed if this means Arcane doesn't get a second season, or Godzilla: Singular Point. >:[

    Arcane was produced by a animation studio in France called Fortiche and Riot Games. Netflix had little to do with it, that was one of those shows that was gonna be made no matter what and Netflix just distributed it. It's like some people who keep associating Vox Machina with Amazon, when it was crowd funded and paid for completely on Kickstarter. Amazon just was the platform it ended up on. I believe Godzilla is in a similar area. Though Netflix distributes many shows, they don't make all of them.

    Plus Arcane is one of the shows that had a lot of views and was popular with fans and critics.

    That's kind of a tricky area for support since Animation Guild workers are also dependent on studio jobs to meet qualifications for things like heath care (which I think only goes for 6 months without a current gig) and other life benefits. Though maybe a crowd sourced projects could secure enough funds to hire a union studio and standard wages for everyone (or maybe they do already, I admit, I don't know the Vox Machina situation).

    Well Vox machina got $11.3 million from more than 88,000 backers. They had already talked to the animation studio before launching the kickstarter and had levels on how many episodes they could get based on donations. Originally it was just going to be a one episode special, but it kept exceeding funding goals.
