The Animorphs Fan Thread (It's The Re-Release!)

[JohnTitor]

Been wanting to do this since the very first time joined DCTP but...

What is Animorphs? Don't you know the Animorphs? Seems like recalling the name somewhere but don't know exactly what it is? Maybe this will help :

Yes, it's from the Nineties. Which means the best decade in the history. At least for me.
It actually had a TV show, in Nick, but not the very best adaptation of the book series itself :

And there's a RE-RELEASE! Which means the entire series (hopefully) will be re-released for new readers, and watch this for the awesomeness :

Do you love Jake? Or Rachel? Or Tobias? Or Cassie? Or Marco? Or Ax?
Have you ever wished to turn into animals? Fly as a bird, and swim as a dolphin?
DO YOU MISS YOUR CHILDHOOD IN THE 90'S?

[JohnTitor]

So that's it, xpon?

But you HAVE read Animorphs, haven't you?

[xpon]

less then 5. books and dont ask why i hate it.. because i read it when i still in high school first year ( 12 years ago!)

[Moriarty]

I haven't read those since I was in grade school......

I always thought the book covers were so cool.

[xpon]

yup.... they show the changing process right?

[Dark Ren]

I read them a decade ago, and with those Goosebumps by RL Stine. Personally, I like Goosebumps more. but yeah, Animorphs bring back memories. I remember I played the Animorphs game in PSOne and stuck in the middle at the game

<-- *had a childhood crush on a certain Animorph :-x

Yeah, loved these. They were awesome. Though the new covers won't be as cool as the old ones.

I thought this died with the 90s like Sega consoles and WCW.

Loved the books when I was a kid, HATED the tv show.

[RubberStamp]

I remember this show. I never watched it though or read the books. But I vaguely remember there were evil beings named Yerks and they looked like leeches or something.

I do miss my 90's childhood XD

Seriously? I read it when it was first published and that means 1998... and I was still in the 2nd grade. SO you're OLDER than me, huh? 

but yeah, Animorphs bring back memories. I remember I played the Animorphs game in PSOne and stuck in the middle at the game

LOL.

I'm betting my money it's TOBIAS!

We all feel the same way.

Yeah, the Yeerks are parasitic alien who came to conquer Earth. (And other planets in other galaxies)
The 90's = 

[xpon]

1998 = i already junior high!

[JohnTitor]

Gasp.

Anyway, for the re-release, Amazon has released the books in Kindle! (and Nook, whatever that is)
Read the info here : http://www.hiracdelest.com/blog/?p=2520

The re-release will change some references used in the books which came from the 90's.
Ex : Star Trek, Grateful Dead, Mountain Dew, Nine Inch Nails, Dave Mattingly Show, Shaquille O'Neal, Alanis Morisette, Doom...
And put the more compatible references with our timeline now (which is 2011).

Spoiler:

I just hope they don't reference Justin Bieber.

The 90's = 

DUUUUUUDE, Animorphs were awesome! They were teens who turned into the most EXTREME animals and they fought alien leeches who tried to take over the world! That's the best mind control ever man! The only way it would be better if there was a comic based on it made by ROB LIEFELD!
