Many fans have wondered what the characters will look like for the new Masters of the Universe Revelation cartoon. Kevin Smith had the following to say:
"It's in the style of an anime...what Netflix calls an anime original...but looks exactly like our classic characters. Nobody's been redesigned to where you're 'Oh that's the 2020 version.' They all look like they're supposed to. And the story functions as essentially the next episode when [the 1980s original animated series] stopped."
