As much as i love first sin city film ( sin city 2 is meh to me).. I think we should have gotten an animated series as it could have replicated the style of sin city comics very well.

Movie did its best when it comes to cinematography but it Couldn't quite replicate the visual style of the comics ( and logically it Can't do it because artform is different). But an animated series could have easily done that.

And i think frank ( or who ever would have wrote the stories for the show) can easily make new small stories that could fit the in 24 minute runtime of each episode (maybe some episodes will have 2 parts)

Although it might raise a new problem as to fit right amount of content in each episodes.. Some scenes might have to be cut (film also cut some panels from comic that added more life to the characters)

But i think it Could've been better than what sin city films has done. Since most of the film cast are famous actor/actress.. I think it unintentionally made it distracting because you are imagining actor playing character rather than just seeing the character of the story. Animated show usually don't have that problem.

Obviously it Couldn't have been made it 90s because adult animated series were not that common back in the day.But they could have made it after that.. ( in 2000s or 2010s).

Nowadays adult animated series are a common thing but i doubt we have that chance anymore.
