''Loonatics Unleashed'' is an American animated series produced by Warner Bros. Animation that ran on the Kids' WB for two seasons from 2005 to 2007 in the United States, Teletoon in Canada, Kids Central (now known as Okto) in Singapore, Cartoon Network's Boomerang in Australia, Cartoon Network in the UK, Italy, Southeast Asia and Latin America, and XHGC in Mexico. It is still broadcasting on Clan TVE. The series was based/inspired on the ''Looney Tunes'' cartoon characters, with the series described by Warner Bros. as an "action-comedy." ''Loonatics Unleashed'' is meant to be a mixture of the ''Looney Tunes'' shorts' irreverent style of humor and a modern action animated series, with the characters designed in an more action cartoon inspired style. Unlike previous Looney Tunes-related shows, ''Loonatics Unleashed'' has a darker tone and takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting, as well as multiple minor story arcs. ==Story== The series of ''Loonatics Unleashed'' occur in the year 2772, the year that a meteor strikes the fictional city-planet of Acmetropolis, knocking it completely off its original axis. However, instead of destroying the planet, the meteor crashes in a waterfront and causes six young adult/teenage inhabitants to be genetically altered with superpowers. A mysterious and powerful woman called Zadavia calls upon six of the affected residents to form a team of superheroes. She becomes their commander, dispatching them for the purpose of combating any and all threats to Acmetropolis and its citizens. The newly formed team is known as the Loonatics and reside on the 134th floor of a large tower. These characters are the descendants of the classic ''Looney Tunes'' characters, according to multiple press releases and official sources. Descendants of other Looney Tunes are unverified, though they can be inferred in certain situations. It is later revealed that Zadavia is in fact an alien and had used her powers to knock the meteor slight off course, preventing the total destruction of the planet. It is also revealed that it is no accident that the meteor struck Acmetropolis, but it was a deliberate attempt to destroy the city planet by Optimatus, a mysterious figure later revealed to be Zadavia's older brother. The second season, the show takes on a lighter tone and many more descendants of other Looney Tunes character are introduced, the majority of which only appear once in the series. The more super villain type characters from the previous season rarely appear or are mentioned. Zadavia also stops being a mysterious figure and regularly participates with the Loonatics in their adventures. Two more aliens from Zadavia's home planet are also introduced, Deuce and Keyboard Man. In the season's finale, the Loonatics are temporarily joined with Sylth Vester and Optimatus is replaced by Deuce as the series arch villain. In the last episodes of the second season, the Loonatics develop additional super-powers and start to expand their base of operations, to safeguard the whole galaxy. However, the series ended at that point. 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「Loonatics Unleashed」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
