The Third Coming of the Chosen One
Despite, in the view of Medley and Steve, the fact that Joss Whedon can't get anything going on TV, what with the cancellation of Angel, and the previous losses of both Buffy and Firefly, it seems that the chosen one actually will have another life...this time as an animated series, albeit without the voice of Gellar (not as big of a problem given animation).
As someone who came to Buffydom late, I'm glad to hear this, as I've found less of an interest to watch the episodes I've never seen based simply on the fact that there's nothing new being made at the present. I'm also happy to hear this because it may keep the actors who weren't Gellar in some funds, as they don't seem to be doing so well in finding new parts (well, at least parts of the same quality--not that Gellar's doing that swimmingly in that regard herself). I only worry somewhat about the animation quality (I'm hoping better than Scooby-Doo!).

Sounds like fun, actually, on the same scale as watching the extended versions of the first two Lord of the Rings movies before seeing the last, which we did.
