Although the story is more than ROTFLMAO, Kitt is beautifully represented in Anime style. I always wanted to see that.

Plus Michael merrily eating some Jap food while Kitt driving his marbles out... priceless :D

KITT does look amazing beyond words in anime...Why can't we get a KR anime,using characters(and original cast members,and KITT's voice actor is a must)from TOS?Plus it would be great to have KITT in an anime form! :mrgreen:

With the new Dark Knight movie, and even the Matrix movies, there was an anime released with or a week before it's release that had to do with the source material. I think it would be really kool to get some sort of backstory done in anime form that would tell the story that would bridge the gap between the TOS and the new show. Imagine getting to see Michael Knight and the original KITT's last ride together, and what led up to the retirement and the original foundation... 8)

:kitt: :karr:

I noticed that too.Maybe it was for copyright reasons,and they didn't want to get sued by GM or Glen A. Larson?
And the KITT in that anime was the voice of the original Japanese dub KITT! :mrgreen:

Speaking of Michael Knight and KITT's "last ride",if they had to kill KITT(which I hope they don't ever),I just hope they'd give him a heroic death instead of falling victim to somthing(remember the acid pit?),or being deactivated.I don't think Michael would ever let KITT be deactivated and disassembled.And they'll bring him back just like in Junk Yard Dog! :good:

Nah, Japan gets away with a lot of things that couldn't be done here when it comes to copyright and image likeness. But aside from that, it's parody so it'd probably be protected either, I know it would in the US.

Well that was bizarre, cool though. Knight Rider has a way of popping up everywhere.

And who's CHITT? ^_^

In the Japanese dub of KR,KITT is called CHITT(it's the way KITT is pronounced in Japanese). :mrgreen:

In my dreams, that has already happened, long ago. Will I ever make a reality of those dreams? Who knows. One thing is for certain. I've waited too long to flesh them out. For my KIT3T now just looks like a pale copy cat of the up-and-coming show's KITT. Those whom didn't know how long I've planned on the fifth season of stories might think them uncreative, now.

That's OK. Plight is 272 pages already and barely begun.

Isn't Chit also a soup if I recall right? And it's sometimes pronounced (almost?) like sh--. :-P I never had the soup though. I do like Chinese food and wonton soup is my favorite. :)
