Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles

Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles[1] is an upcoming CGI-animated science fantasy streaming television series created by Doug and Candie Langdale.[2] The show is loosely based on the Usagi Yojimbo comic books by Stan Sakai. Unlike its source material where the comics takes place in the past, the show takes place in the future and it does not focus on the main character Miyamoto Usagi.
