Upcoming Anniversary/Thoughts

*Spike Spiegel* · 12-08-2017, 11:06 AM

So...February 8th, 2018 will mark the 15th anniversary of this series.

With the 2012 show completed and the new series not airing until next fall, do you think we are in for any surprises?

Still waiting for Viacom to give us proper DVD boxsets of the series. The wait shall continue.

Either way I've been marathoning the 2k3 series myself rewatching it all. I started on November 6th, and now only a month later I'm already 8 episodes into Fast Forward. I'll be finished with the whole series in about another week or so. The first four seasons are the best bar some of the duller filler eps, but I really like both Ninja Tribunal and Fast Forward for different reasons. It was a nice way to shake up the series given all the old plotpoints were pretty much wrapped up. The final season is the weakest but there are a few decent eps there.

I think I've watched the 2k3 series in full about 5-6 times. This is probably my 6th rewatch of the series. Amazing how a series I watched as a teenager can still be enjoyed as a 30 year old.

Wow this series is nearly 15 years old already? Jesus.

I don't really expect anything to be done in celebration of it tbh.

I'm constantly taken back how "old" everything is from the early 2000's now. No joke, every time people bring up a show, videogame, or movie from the early 2000's I think of it as "recent" but then you realize this stuff is like 15 years old now.

The 2003 Teen Titans cartoon is also 15 years old. Dragonball Z finished the dub at the height of its popularity in 2005. The PS2/Gamecube/Xbox and GBA era was on its height of its popularity by 2003. The Hoenn generation of Pokemon with the Ruby/Sapphire games was 2003. The Star Wars prequels are now 15 years old.

Goddamn. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time to the years 2001-2006 or so. That was a glorious time period. The age of the early 2000's when all this stuff was coming out for the first time but there was very little to no social media and people posted on message boards. People still used VHS tapes and were just transitioning to DVDs.

I still have trouble thinking of the 2010's as a "new decade" which is why I feel the early 2000's aren't that old.

Maybe some retro action figures based on the series could be released.

TMNT has started to acknowledge it in their social media posts (a lot, actually), but I don't expect anything. Anything new, merch or otherwise, would be welcomed, though.

It would be nice to see proper DVD boxsets of this series, though I don’t think it’s gonna happen.

Being the uploaded of the entire 2003 series on my channel “Ninja Turtles,” formally known as XxsargeslapahoexX for an OG Youtubers... I cannot believe that Viacom has allowed all of my 2003 episode uploads to stay. They charge 1.99 per episode on YouTube of the series. So I can’t believe they don’t take down my videos and the rest on YouTube. Mine are uploaded at full length, good quality and widescreen, so I am sure they will take them down one day....
