Well I had looked over the official TMNT website with a friend last night/this morn and we were pretty excited. Though i do see Savanti's concerns. Hey it's TMNT with anime influence...But I wish to reserve a full comment till it's on the air...as someone said about video games..."a few screen shots may look cool, doesn't really give ya the whole game."
Think I'll put in spoilers here...just cause I wanna keep talking and really don't intend to ruin anything for anybody....Think I'll put in spoilers here...just cause I wanna keep talking and really don't intend to ruin anything for anybody....Think I'll put in spoilers here...just cause I wanna keep talking and really don't intend to ruin anything for anybody....Think I'll put in spoilers here...just cause I wanna keep talking and really don't intend to ruin anything for anybody....Think I'll put in spoilers here...just cause I wanna keep talking and really don't intend to ruin anything for anybody....Think I'll put in spoilers here...just cause I wanna keep talking and really don't intend to ruin anything for anybody....Think I'll put in spoilers here...just cause I wanna keep talking and really don't intend to ruin anything for anybody....
Looking over the synops of eps...I'm pretty impressed...though on a couple things I'm not...like I have some fear for the Garbagemen episode...and ummm, can't think of others right now...
But I like how much it is returning to Mirage roots...April's curio shop..and it is Casey's family farm, black Baxter Stockman, Purple Dragon gang, Utroms....
And for some later eps..how they will loosely be basing it on a couple comics...like Vol 1. #10... Am I thinking right?? That's the one where leo loses to the foot??
I guess that's all I have to say...
Duane - who, for the record, thinks maybe he should have gotten in on this converse sooner..

generation gap that has already started to present itself. The music
and themsong will in fact be much more attractive to the newer
generation of 5-12yr olds. Which if I remember correctly is more
closely what age groups are really being targeted by fox. Regardless
of the age groups that Laird/Mirage/etc would prefer to target. Sales
and marketing, along with the merchandise chain that Fox hopes to lead
is what will decide if the show is successful or not.
Personally I went through the clip frame, by frame in QT6. To be
frankly honest I expected more from the artwork. While the art work
is "Nice", it is still lacking the depth of detail that I crave in the
TMNT. This is most likely why I still find myself going back to
episodes 1-5 of season 1, episodes from the final 2 seasons, and the
original Mirage Black and White Volume 1 comics. These have the most
artistic value to them, as well as the best story lines with the
ability to be reread with a new interpretation of what was really told
in the story.
To be fair, I watched the clip 3 more times in normal speed and I have
to say that I'm still a little let down by the animation. I have seen
much better from early CGI movies. I would say that this show was at
best, rushed through production. I don't think that the artists truly
had the time to spend on the cells that they should have. Everything
is generalized. There is almost depth to the art at all. The whole
show appears to be drawn in silloutes, which is fine, if that is the
medium they choose to use.
I will be missing the first several weeks of episodes as I move into
Germany and then into the balkans. When I'm situated I should have
satalite TV and hopefully internet available to me to catch the show
and news on it. I'm hoping this show makes it and that I learn to like
it more as it progresses.
All in all I would rate it as another Fox run show.

I'm all for the new show. I can't wait for Feb 8th like everyone
else. Hell, I'll even wake up eaerlier than normal in order to get a
high quality digital recording of it(No Tape for this TMNT show!).
But I had mixed emotions when seeing the animated intro. I liked it,
but there was something about it that wasn't appealing at the same
time. I'll also miss the classic Shredder look, eevn though I like
the new design.
And now I see the voice list. Do we really need someone who's worked
on Pokemon voiceing April?
As always, I'll give it a chance, but I hope this lingering feeling of
dread isn't a sign, considering I like the episode descrptions..
