I agree, I don't think it would HAVE to be terribly violent to be good, just
serious. I would also nominate the people who did the Savage Dragon cartoon
on USA... they did a good job of taking a violent comic book series with
plenty of blood, half nakkid chicks and swearing, and managed to clean it up
but stay faithful to the action and story of the comics.

If they did do a cartoon, though, I would highly recommend FASA keep
creative control... That's why these things turn out so lame... The
creators don't work with the cartoonists...:)
