Tartarughe Ninja

This series is amazing, it has the comic essence, dark and gritty, it has amazing story arcs, I don't even know which TMNT adaptation I like the most, whether this one or the 2012 one.

After being disappointed with the outdated and overrated 80's version, this was a breath of fresh air. The turtles are way more interesting here as we see their own psychology grow and learn some valuable lessons. The tone is exactly as it should be a balance of light and darkness, though there are some disturbing moments (such as when Leonardo decapitates Shredder and Splinter's story of origin), but thankfully it's more mature. Leonardo and Michaelangelo are my favorites as they are the serious swordsman leader and comic relief respectively. What's better is that there is now a genuine plot for a big picture as the turtles have to try and do more than just thwart evil. No more silly nonsense like the 80's version had.

Thank you all creators for this masterpiece and for beautiful childhood.

I love the teenage mutant ninja turtles. This is the cartoon that got me into the turtles. Now before we start I like the 1987 version of the turtles. They were a lot of fun especially in Season 1,2,3,6, and 7. But it seems outdated by today's standards. Now this series is based off the Mirage comics and does them justice. Most of the episodes are based stories from the comics and also show characters from them as well, while adding some new characters. While this show is based off the Mirage comics, the show has things from the 1987 cartoon such as the multi color headbands.

While the fans of the 1987 cartoon say that this show is not like the 1987 cartoon. I got news for them. It's not suppose to. I say the same thing to the fans of Batman: the Animated Series. It's suppose to be different. Imagine if every cartoon remake had the same formula as the original. It would be boring. And you couldn't tell the difference. Now on to the review. The show has good character development, stories and animation. I would say this is the best TMNT cartoon to date.

I was watching this when it came out. was only a kid. and made so many memories with friends over this show and the game that came with it, having most of the dvds myself i have seen some in recent years and am surprised by some of the dark story lines and grittiness it represents. i enjoyed the dark stories and though of it in a mature sense. without a doubt the best version on TMNT from seasons 1-5 are my favourites. will probably watch them soon again
