Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

People should give this a chance! It is amazing, and sure it's not as "dark" or "serious" as the previous versions, but the writing is spot on. This thing only got one season and a half, with the crew behind it having a LOT of plans for arcs that would make the show so much better. This show was actually amazing and got wrecked for being different and Nickelodeon giving it a garbage treatment

Like many other reviewesr, I had my reservations about this series, not being particularly fond of some of the redesigns (Master Splinter is completely unrecognizable here) and the changes made to the plot and the characters.

After watching some of the episodes my impressions were more positive, mostly thanks to the good animation this series had, with an effective characterization. (The personalities of the characters are very different to their usual portrayal from the comic and the previous series, but the new characterization isn't necessarily bad, just different.)

If you are expecting to see a serious (Or at least, a semi-serious) version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, than you are going to be dissapointed by this series. I personally think this is more enjoyable as its own thing rather than as an adaptation.

At first when the trailers dropped it seemed like TMNT got the TTG treatement, and oh boy was i wrong.

If you happen to not be a fan of the TMNT and feel a bit intimidated that you probably would not understand it, don't be, this show is very friendly to new fans and casuals.

From episode one the show introduces you to it's fun snappy nature with fun dialogue, great use of limited animation, and does not waste time to flex the talented animators and artists working on it's crew, from amazing action scenes to more subtle character animation that makes it a joy to rewatch every episode and find fun visual gags or an intresting desing of a background character.

The voice acting is astounding, with great performances and hilarious line delivery, specially Josh Brener as Donnie and Ben Schwartz as Leo.

If you feel dissapointed that a charcater that was once great is now depicted as not so great, take in mind that this show is wants to differentiate itself from the others and will try to give a new point of view to the classic formula that every TMNT fan is familiar with, but remember, there is a reason to this, characters change, grow, adapt, and RISE.

While this show focuses more comedy, it's also not shy of an engaging story, the first few episodes work to set up the ground work for more big and dramatic episodes, even in the lighthearted fun episodes you will find elements that will come into play in the bigger story that it's telling

Sadly, as of the time that i'm writting this review, it doesn't look too bright for this show. Due to shady practices at Nickelodeon, the show was sabotaged, and was forced to finish it's story mid season 2 with the final 4 episodes, but not all hope has been lost...

next year there is a movie coming out on netflix, if you like it, be vocal about it, recommend it to a friend, post a review in social media, this show is like no other and there might not be anything like it again, do what you can to support it if you care. #Saverottmnt #Supportrottmnt

I actually love this great animation and colors I love the action I love everything about this besides splinter I don't like the design for the rat but everything else is pretty good

I wish we would have had more of this, because if you watched the series finale, you know there is more to the Kraang than what we were shown. That plot could have developed better if they had been given the time and support. But what we were given met expectations. It's amazing how powerful this version of the Kraang is to have the future they showed us. The movie has very good references to its previous incarnations and Casey's themes is something that will leave me intrigued. It bothers me a lot when haters say that this incarnation won't be able to attract new people to the fandom who are not older than 10 years. This show is what made me really interested in the rest of the versions, and if it only appealed to children, what would be the problem? The series have been precisely to attract that audience. It's a shame they let her go so easily with so much potential she has. There are many classic stories and characters that didn't get a chance to be shown.
