Has anyone checked this show out, its mighty fine.  I'm totally addicted to the cell shaded look, and wished more North American animations used this technique.  I think the show has good writing, because I see myself laughing and enjoying the plot at the same time.  I went as far as to buy the Special edition DVD, I just hope someone else can enjoy it as much as me.  This show is made by Mainframe the same people that made Beast Wars, Beast Machines.

Yeah!  It wasn't my favourite Mainframe show, but Spider-Man was definitely their best in a while.  Was there more than one season, though?  I haven't seen anything about additional seasons on Mainframe's website. :\
Anyway, it was a good show.  I wish Mainframe had more quality projects like this, but the company seems to be going downhill these days.

Cel shading? Urk, I hate that, it's a cheap substitute for hand drawn characters. Why not use "real" 3d (as in, proper lighting)?

'Mainframe'..... Are they the same people that did the cartoon 'REBOOT'?

[Rob91883]

yes

Cel-shading is appropriate when dynamic camera angles are involved.

Gosh I loved Reboot.  Does anybody know if it ever got released on DVD?  I had completely forgotten about it, but that show rocked!!

Shadow Raiders was cool, but they never finished the series - kinda like nearly all the CG-Animated stuff.
