Review:
I will start of this review with the pro's of the TV series.
a)Animation-The animation in this cartoon is spectacular. Since the characters are CG ( Computer Generated) i would not like it but the characters look great, it's good enough for kids and also for long time fans of the comic/cartoon. Also its not slow paced as some cartoons are. They also introduce a thing i have never seen before in any other Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show, every time they go into a fight or any action event their eyes turn white it's really cool.

b)Voice Acting- The voice acting in this was to perfection. Each voice actor played their part really well. It's really good from Greg Cipes voicing Michelangelo to Kevin Michael Richardson voicing the Shredder.

c)Story-The story is this knew series is very good. The writers displayed the different personalities of each turtle very well and also showed that they are true Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Fans.



d)Humour-The humour in this is well... funny? The jokes in this cartoon made me laugh aloud and the ones which didn't made me smile. Another sidenote they added a little bit of chibi here and there so that made me laugh too.





Now onto the con's

a) I know i am being a little harsh but they made April O'neil a teenager and personally I think its weird since I am so used to seeing the reporter in April O'neil. Another thing about this aspect is since she's 16 and the Turtles are 15, Donatello has a crush on April and that also feel weird.






b)Additional Characters-They need to add Casey Jones, Beebop and Rocksteady. It would be really cool to have those characters on board. At least add them into Series 2 :D.

c) First of this is not a con nor a pro it's in between. I wish they could have (at least for the first episode) made the turtles head bands all red.








All in all i think this show was great. Really funny, action filled ;story telling. This show is great for long time fans and kids or anyone else new to this series.

Rating: 8/10
