Episode Two: Having been crowned the new Black Panther, T'Challa must contend with jealousy in the royal court while searching for the man who murdered his father. Unbeknownst to him, a deadly assassin named Klaw is assembling a team of super-villains to attack Wakanda.
What do I think of it? I love it of course. It's got some motion comic elements in it but they're done nicely enough. The story is great. The voices are great. What's not to like? Check it out for yourself:

I enjoyed it, too. Most of my readers around the internet (sigh... i have too many social network profiles...) seem to hate it! I think people can't accept it for what it is, which is understandable. we are spoiled by anime and disney/pixar and want everything to meet those standards.
as for me, i think it's awesome for what it is. it's loyal to the source material, which was very strong to begin with.
Dang, missed it. Video was taken off youtube. I recall the early preview, which was not impressive, but I hope the finished project is better. Why the frak isn't this on in the USA yet?!?
I love it! The entire series is available on youtube now. It is really good.
