* AnAesop: Of course, but the episodes are framed around a specific story from the bible this time, and as a result are clearer than they sometimes were in the live action series.

''Bibleman'' is a 2016 animated adaptation of [[Series/{{Bibleman}} the original series]]. It appears to be mostly influenced by the Powersource series (Josh Carpenter is Bibleman, the color schemes for their costumes, Melody, etc.).

----
!!Provides examples of:

* AdaptedOut: The Bible Team's computer is no longer a character in her own right, given how the human cast is more than big enough for the shortened run time. LUCI is also absent.
* AllCGICartoon: The 2016 reboot.
* AmbidextrousSprite: Bibleman wields his sword using each hand in different episodes.
* AnAesop: Of course, but the episodes are framed around a specific story from the bible this time, and as a result are clearer than they sometimes were in the live action series.
* ArtShift: The show will often stop to have a sequence done up in flannel-styled ClipArtAnimation and told by a hand puppet Sunday school teacher and her magic flannelgraph board.
* ContinuityNod: The cartoon version tries this, like by recycling villains from the live action series. Some details [[{{Retcon}} don't really gel with what the actual live action episodes said]], though, such as a newer segment saying Josh and Miles were lifelong friends (especially since as noted the apparent intent when they replaced Willie was to hand things over to a [[YoungerAndHipper younger and hopefully more relatable]] new star).
* DecompositeCharacter: In the cartoon, Luxor Spawndroth and some of his identities from the old live episodes appear as different characters, which just messes up the ContinuityNod attempts mentioned above even more.
* EnvironmentSpecificActionFigure: In the 4th of July episode Bibleman wears an American flag-based version of his regular costume. No extra weapons or gimmicks, it's just red white and blue.
* EvilBrit: The Baroness.
* ExpositoryThemeTune: The theme song now uses the lyrics to set up the show and explain what Bibleman's costume represents, since the episodes are too short now to include the [[OncePerEpisode once-standard]] TransformationSequence.
* ExpressiveMask: Almost to be expected, especially with the episodes now being so short the heroes are almost never out of costume anymore.
* HumongousMecha: Luxor gets one in an episode, though it's a crummy one the heroes still easily overpower.
* LawyerFriendlyCameo: In one episode Bibleman gets help from late show host [[Creator/DavidLetterman David Noteman]].
* RaceLift: The cartoon recycles a lot of villains from the live series, but for some reason some of them have over the top European accents now. For instance Luxor Spawndroth is German now and the Fibbler is Scottish.
* {{Thememobile}}: They sure embraced the freedom of their new medium by tossing a bunch of {{toyetic}} vehicles at Bibleman like the Biblevan, Biblecopter, Biblejet, Bibleboat...
* ThreeShorts: The cartoon version is released like this with three 11-minute segments per disc.
* ATwinkleInTheSky: The cartoon version's solution to the question of how Bibleman can defeat the villains without resorting to imitable violence: launching the villains into the sky and out of sight.
* TwoDecadesBehind: One episode has Luxor being able to infect most of the town with his new evil MMO, which he interests people in by handing out physical passcards from a booth in the mall.
