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
