Production

Casting

Animation

The series was mainly animated at Rough Draft Korea, with the assistance of Tokyo Movie Shinsha (TMS Entertainment, flashback in one episode). The animation resembles the animation from Samurai Jack. Rough Draft Korea didn't return to animate the fifth season, so an another Korean animation studios, Digital eMation, Inc., provided the animation for that season instead.

Tropes

Episodes

Film adaptation

See Velocity.

In October 2003, 7 months after the series ended, Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Pictures had plans for a film adaptation based on the series. The movie was intended to be as a series finale to the show and was going to be released in 2007, but due to unexplained difficulties, troubles and money losses, the project was cancelled. However, in 2005, before the cancellation, Nickelodeon Movies created the project reel.

However, Ronzetti posted his late plans for a Velocity movie. The movie was to be titled Velocity: The Dawn of the Dark Humans and was to serve as a proper series finale. The animation would have been produced at Digital eMation in Korea, rather than Rough Draft Korea.

Even though the film in 2007 got cancelled due to unexplained difficulties, in 2019, a year after the revival season got out, they released a live-action film based on Velocity The Dark Human Slayer. The movie received mixed reviews from critics, but positive reviews from audiences, fans and other people, becoming a box-office hit.

Video games

Prequel

See The Human Race.

In 2018, due to the fifth season's success, it was announced that a prequel to Velocity: The Dark Human Slayer is in production. The prequel was confirmed to be about Halie (who would later become the last human and Velocity's close ally/best friend) and Brimstone (who would later become the main antagonist of the original).

Legacy

Velocity has appeared in some Nickelodeon-branded shirts.
