Deffinitely the first season, awesome fight scenes mixed with good humor, although it was ofen clunky, I liked it.
We haven't seen any animation of the new show, but considering the huge improvment in animation technology, I suspect it will be even better

Choosing between cgi, original and red sky, i'll have to choose original, it's my fave :D
I left the new toon out, it'd be pointless for me to vote that one since i haven't seen it yet.

:o I like the animation of the first season. It was the best i guess. And the Shredder was pretty and serious. I felt he was evil. And the turtles fought like ninjas. But i cannot judge cause i would never be able to create something like this. So i thank everyone who gave me so many joy when i was watching the TMNT.
:evilgrin:
wow
i liked my speech

I liked the animation in season 1-3 best, I really didn't like the red sky episodes too much. Get Shredder! and Turtle Trek were decent but I just didn't like the slightly new animation style or the red sky. Making the sky red was a completely stupid concept, they should've made it look normal but darker. I always didn't like how they made the tmnt look sort of like they're angry all the time (at least that's how I think it looked.) Personally, I think the series should've ended after Season 8, it was a good ending season and they should've left it alone.

I liked 1993 so much that I thought they should've ended it then.

Reznorite420

What I liked about season 8 was that the animation was fit more to other cartoons of the time. I thought it fit the mood of the Red Sky seasons perfectly. But I will agree that the series should've ended at the end of that season. Once Dregg came into the picture, it just didn't seem like TMNT that everbody knew.

I liked the original animation better than the Red Sky eps or the later season animation.

I didn't like the eyes on the TMNT after Red Sky. They just looked... funny... especially with having grown up with them lookin' a different way...

I grew up with the middle-season Turtles too, but after finally seeing the Red Sky eps for the first time in my life about a month ago, it really got to me. For a couple of years after I stopped watching TMNT I envisioned a new generation that was slightly darker and moodier. Lo and behold, I finally discovered the Red Sky eps.

Fact: The whole "moody" idea of TMNT that I had was what sparked the idea for that "TMNT 2000" story I mentioned in a previous thread. So yeah, this fanfic will be Red Sky ep-ish, only a bit more serious. It will not be a kid's story, mind you.

Deathknight

The only reason season 8 existed was to get rid of Shredder and Krang, I mean they only appeared in four episodes. They could've come up with a really good episode in that style but they failed because they feared Shredder and Krang's previous reputation.

Making the sky red was a completely stupid concept

There were a lot more stupid concepts that manifested during the seasons you listed as your favorite (1 to 3).....

Personally, I think the series should've ended after Season 8, it was a good ending season and they should've left it alone.

That would have been a horrible mistake. The so-called 'red sky' seasons were some of the best, most creative episodes ever created.

But I will agree that the series should've ended at the end of that season. Once Dregg came into the picture, it just didn't seem like TMNT that everbody knew.

Not quite.

ive heard that the red sky seasons are pretty good but i personaly cant decide

They were very good.

I didn't like the eyes on the TMNT after Red Sky. They just looked... funny... especially with having grown up with them lookin' a different way...

Why? Because the turtles no longer looked laughable and ridiculous??

They could've come up with a really good episode in that style but they failed because they feared Shredder and Krang's previous reputation.

What? Reputation??

i just hope the new series isnt ****ing anime style, with huge ass eyeballs bulging out of their skulls, and everytime someone walks down the street, they look like they are flying through the air and everything is in a blur behind them. then, before every fight, they stare at each other for 15 minutes while they look like that are on fire, and sweat and scream.

there we go. that should piss off the dragonball z fans. :ttwisted:

Karpo_007

12-20-2002, 08:13 AM

Red Sky is the Last 3 seasons of the cartoon.

Donatello

12-20-2002, 09:35 AM

to me it looks like the new show is gonna be the best, but red sky is close.

i think the artwork in red sky was good but once shredder left the show just got annoying, i liked the seriousness, but the monster thing, carter and dregg were just stupid ideas, they should've ended it when shredder stopped showing up, which was in the first season of the red sky.

oh, and how do i get a picture by my name?

You go into your Profile, and there at the very bottom will be a place for your avatar. It needs to be online somewhere that allows remote linking. Free sites like Geocites, Tripod, etc, don't allow this. If needed, Krang can host your avatar for you. (See this topic (http://www.thetechnodrome.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=531).)

Then just put the URL into the avatar section in your profile and that's it.

I totally agree...i mean, the first red sky season was ok actually, but when dregg came in...i dunno, i guess it got too bizarre for my taste.
Not that it'd be new in the tmnt toon :P but it got way too weird imo...or if not weird at least different.

What? Reputation??
the reputation Shredder and Krang had of constantly insulting each other, screwing up, and getting out of hand in schemes that made no sense. When people think of Shredder and Krang from the cartoon they see Shredder and Krang as "clowns" (as Karpo would say) who never get along or never accomplish anything cause of their stupidity. And with the face change, I thought they looked even more ridiculous with the evil-like eyes and faces. I mean no matter what mood they were in they always looked mad and evil. Dregg was a terrible villian and it just didn't suit the series in my opinion. The blue bug guy ( I think his name was Hi-tech or something like that) said that as long as their ship was damaged the tmnt would still be a problem. During that time Dregg had obviously fixed up his ship and could've easily annihilated the tmnt. They should've ended it after season 8, come up with new red-sky style shredder/krang episodes, or came up with a better villian.

Reznorite420

12-20-2002, 04:20 PM

The current fanfics that I'm writing will NOT have Shredder and Krang acting they way they did in the cartoon, I'll say that much.

Karpo_007

12-20-2002, 04:36 PM

Actually, Shredder and Krang were good villains in the first season. After that, the whole show changed and they changed with it.

ut im pretty sure I will like the red sky. It is written by David Wise, I think he co-wrote the first season and many good ones in other seasons. STil 3 eps to in 1993 season, haven't really have the time to watch TMNT in last few days.

I haven't noticed a thing like that. Alltough I have noticed that some episodes have better animation than others.

Nickokapo

12-21-2002, 10:09 AM

Yeah i know what you mean...i specially noticed this in the 3rd season...and, well the 3 latest seasons, but that animation change was intentional so i'm not counting it :P

Chewie

So, I wanna answer the starting Post of that Thread :wink:

I thinks the first animated Series was the best, like it is at the most cartoons. Just take a look at M.A.S.K., Transformers or MotU :D

I really like their Humor, and I`m happy to see that the new Cartoons look nearly as great as the first ones. Sure, they look a little bit more "grown up" and a little bit harder, but that`s it. I think, maybe they are grown up with their audience :lol:
So let`s hope, the first pix will hold what they promise, and I will live happily ever after :lol:

Reznorite420

12-23-2002, 08:19 AM

Anyone noticed how somtimes during the old cartoons the animation would change to some really cool looking mega cartoony style for one scene? The one I remember the most was in Cowabunga Shredhead. When Mike is being made to not like pizza by Splinter. It looked so cool and I wished they'd keep that animation for the whole show.Also in "Super Bebop and Mighty Rocksteady" (that's what the title says...), when Donatello is explaining what's on the disk, it changes animation styles for those few seconds.

Well...I guess all the way through the series the animation was OK but I remember so little of them anymore. I've only recently reviewed the early episodes and I think I'll go with those for lack of better choice. That first episode 'Turtle Tracks' was done waaaay cool! :D

The first season has the best animation, but red sky seems to be coming second.

Opticon143

12-29-2002, 02:01 PM

Personally, i like the first season the best, in both animation and scripting. The red sky eps, i'd havta say, were my least favourite (i even like the cgi stuff better than those episodes)...

As for the story of the red sky episodes, i was disappointed with end of the series....definitely wasnt a series ender :(
