    Just finished the 2 parter on the nick website.

    Surprisingly good! This might be a pretty great series.

    I saw the action figures for this series a couple of weeks ago and thought they were pretty cool looking. Different than what I was used to, but still good. The teenage April made me really worried about the show, but those fears were unfounded.

    It was really cool to see Donatello be awesome in a fight since he didn't get to do that often.

    Raphael is still my favorite turtle.

    Just watched it. Highly enjoyable.

    Ok, for months leading up to this premiering I had been watching the trailers and thought that this was going to be absolutely terrible. That didn't stop me from buying the figures...well, the Turtles themselves at least, all the other figures have shit articulation. Also the Classics figures.

    But I still gave the premier a chance, and fortunately I was rewarded with something that was a hell of a lot better than was being advertised. The animation was generally pretty good, the backgrounds and cityscapes were a hell of a lot better than any Prime has had, which is something that I dislike about that show. Something of the animation is flat in parts though, everything is so smooth, nothing has rough edges sort of thing, like when Donatello's bo was snapped in half or when they were eating the pizza. Which was a scene I hated in the trailers as a standalone thing, but worked better within the context of the show.

    None of the characters have grated on me yet, and there were some funny moments, such as Splinter choosing the leader, something in the fight with Snake that I forget already but I remember laughing at, and the dialogue of the Kraangs. The action was well done and they used slow motion pretty well. All in all I have a lot more hope about the show than I did earlier today.

    But it is weird for Raph's old voice to be coming out of Don.

    "aaaagh, just call them turtles! And they're almost here."

    "THE ONES YOU WISH TO CALL TURTLES ARE ON THEIR WAY TO THIS PLACE, AND WILL SOON BE IN THIS PLACE, THAT YOU WISH TO CALL 'HERE'"

    "aaaaagh!"

    I loved when Leo and Splinter are talking about why he chose Leo to be the leader
    Leo: "So any choice would have been right, even Mikey?"
    Splinter: "No, that would have been wrong."

    The conversation before that exchange really set it up well.

    Goddammit

    I just watched the first episode of this

    I like almost everything about it. It's really cleverly written, I like that each of the turtles has their own visual signifier outside of their bandana color, the voices are great

    But it's such a horrid art style that I don't think I'm gonna be able to keep watching

    This writing deserves better art

  • Goose!Goose! That's me, honey Show me the way home, honeyRegistered User regular
    I don't know, I like the art, maybe your brain is broken.

  • GoatmonGoatmon Companion of Kess Registered User regular
    Art style seems fine to me.

    The art style is definitely a thing that requires getting used to, but I dig on the style. It's different, but in an interesting way.

    I love the turtles so much, I'm excited to check this out. it's weird that jason biggs is in this, but then again he probably doesn't have much else going on.

  • Local H JayLocal H Jay Registered User regular
    I also never saw the old school/ new turtles crossover, I still need to get it

  • TonkkaTonkka Some one in the club tonight Has stolen my ideas.Registered User regular
    I still want someone to animate the original comics.

    That would be cool.

    I would pay a lot of money for an animated yusagi yojimbo

  • FCDFCD Registered User regular
    I'm actually rather digging this. The anime-style emotes are a little weird, but otherwise a good start.

    Actually, he was in a couple episodes of the original series and then many episodes in the 03 series, including one where he and Leo went to Usagi's world.

    Also there's this.

  • Local H JayLocal H Jay Registered User regular
    I liked his cameos in the cartoons, it bothers me when he doesn't have a Japanese accent for some reason though. but really the comics story deserve to be in some kind of cartoon

    usagi yojimbo is such a great comic. i read two trades.

  • CenoCeno pizza time Registered User regular
    Yay! I'm glad people gave it a shot. I was very pleasantly surprised and look forward to seeing where the series goes.

  • MatevMatev Cero Miedo Registered User regular
    So, watched this, I thought it was enjoyable. I like how TMNT kind of remixes itself every few years, almost in a Legend of Zelda sense, if you get what I mean by that. The old 87 cartoon was what got me hooked, the 03 cartoon was cool because it seemed a lot more in line with the Laird/Eastman comics and wa overall a nice product. This latest series seems like it'll pan out, but I'm trying to not get my hopes up after only 2 episodes.

    Also
    That is one damn fine Shredder voice, I tell you what.

    To be honest, I didn't really stick with the 03 series for very long.

    The voice acting was really bland, and the dialogue just bored the hell out of me.

    Overall it was just really slow, and wasn't very funny at all for the most part

    This show seems a lot more promising.

    Goatmon on

    The big question is, what dumb name will the insane TMNT fanbase come up with to call themselves?

    I'm sure this goes without saying...

    Anyway, I'm digging the new show so far, and have a lot of hopes for it (click the link to PoisonMushroom.Org in my sig if you want to see all the stuff I hope they reinvent).

    Maybe don't read the comic series then. My guy tells me this actually happened.

    In the new IDW series, it's being implied that Splinter and the Turtles are reincarnations of Yoshi and his four sons after being brutally beheaded by Oroku Saki.

    I assumed that but I mean... You make choices in a reboot, and they made that one, and I'm not a fan

  • AntimatterAntimatter Devo Was Right Gates of SteelRegistered User regular
    To be fair the original comics started out parodying comics and their grimness iirc
    Using money from a tax refund together with a loan from Eastman's uncle, the young artists self-published a single-issue comic intended to parody four of the most popular comics of the early 1980s: Marvel Comics' Daredevil and New Mutants, Dave Sim's Cerebus, and Frank Miller's Ronin.
