''Buffy the Animated Series'' is an animated television series concept based on ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' created by Joss Whedon. Initially greenlit by 20th Century Fox in 2002, it went ultimately unproduced and unaired when no network was willing to buy the series. The series would have taken place in the middle of ''Buffy'' season 1, as writer Jeph Loeb described the continuity as "Episode 7.5".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jeph Loeb Spills News, Not Blood, About ''Buffy The Animated Series''... )〕 Whedon and Loeb would later revisit the style of the series in the Season Eight comic story "After These Messages... We'll Be Right Back!". == Production details == Development began on the show in 2001. Joss Whedon and Jeph Loeb were to be executive producers for the show, and most of the cast from ''Buffy'' would return to voice their characters. The series soon ran into problems. 20th Century Fox were going to produce the show, and it was initially planned that the show would air on Fox Kids, possibly as early as February 2002. When Fox Kids ceased operations, Fox shopped it to other networks. When no network was willing to purchase the series, production halted. Two years later, in 2004, Fox once again showed an interest in developing and selling the show to another network. Various key actors, including Anthony Stewart Head, did voice work, and artwork was produced to make a four-minute presentation. That pilot was used to try to sell the series to a network. Once again no network was willing to take the risk of purchasing the show. Loeb explained that networks find the show difficult since it would be too adult to air with children's television, but not suitable to many people in a prime-time slot. In a Q&A with ''The Hollywood Reporter'' on May 16, 2003, Whedon explained: In an interview with ''TV Guide'' in September 2005, Whedon announced that the series was effectively dead. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buffy the Animated Series」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
