The movie was even more prequelish than the prequels. I doubt the show could be so different as to be totally on the opposite end of the scale. Modern Hayden-based Anakin, anime-drawn kid, Jar Jar Binks, silly fucking droid troopers, overdone prequelish lightsaber battles, look-isn't-it-cool dark Jedi character, General Greivously Ill-Making... it's not going to be OT-ish.
God just how wrong can you be. I can't believe you can say how crap something is when you haven't even bothered watching it. So many people have told you that its totally different than the Clone wars movie but you say the series can't be "OT-ish" because the movie wasn't. The Anakin character in the series is far removed from the whiny little brat played by Hayden in the prequels. Jar Jar has only been in it once (and that was the only episode i hated). The whole series so far seems more about the characters than the environment, which that alone makes it more OT-ish. God i hated the movie with a vengeance but at least i gave the series a look before i commented about it. And i surprised myself that i'm actually enjoying it.

But you can only respect someone who hates it that has actually bothered to see it first.
Oh quit trying to hit me over the head for not liking your sacred show. When there's been no decent Star Wars screen fiction since 1983 and Lucas clearly has some severely mistaken ideas about Star Wars, then the quality is not going to suddenly rush in in some kid-aimed animated show with awful animation set in the prequels universe. Not going to happen. And I don't care that people have told me the show is not like the movie, I know that the movie is made out of unaired show episodes, so I know there must be something in common, and if the show has ANYTHING in common with the movie then it's going to be bad news. As for the claim that the show could be OT-ish, that's even less plausible then the idea that it might be quality. And I'm not going to change my opinion just because you tell me to. Maybe someday I'll see this show, but until that time I'll reserve the right to bet that it's crap. I can't see it now because they don't show it where I live. So maybe you should get used to me having an opinion you don't like.
And btw, if I ever suffer through episodes of this show and find it is indeed crap then you'll be hearing an awful big I told you so.

Heck, I don't like anime animation, but even that's better than the Thunderbirds + anime mutation this stuff serves up. It's so horribly unnatural. The most anime thing in it is Ashoka's eyes, which annoy the crap out of me, but there's plenty that's awful about it that's nothing to do with anime. All these still artificial puppet figures. It manages to feel less real than ordinary 2d animation, including anime. The artificiality of it strikes me as coming from the same mindset as the awful feelingless artificial nature of the later two prequels.
And for the record, Thunderbirds type puppets have to be one of the creepiest things ever put onscreen.
