Anime Eps

[Duke]

Does anyone know where i could find complete episodes of the teenage mutant ninja turtle anime? I've seen clips of this show and its great. I would like them to be with english subtitles but if they were dubbed that would be great too.

Ack, so this is the anim eeh? Man...well at least it produced the best darn TMNT figures IMHO. But for folks that dont like anime, I can certainly see how they dont like the goofier choppy animation stuff.

Info on the anime's pretty rare :( all i've heard about was about an ova series, and a movie, but those were just rumors so it might be all screwed up (say, the 'movie' in question could be the 3 ova series that this guy confused as a movie)
For now all i've seen are those 2 eps in ninja turtles network, i haven't come across any fansubs of it (i guess noone subbed it since it wasn't popular enough) and the idea of a dubbed version is ridiculous since it hasnt even been released in the US (and i hope it stays that way...the usa treats anime badly...dont get me wrong, i wanna see the anime in english, but if they're gonna cut scenes, change the soundtrack and re-edit the script then i'll be better off with a raw or subbed version which stays truer to the original)
On the other hand, this is an OVA, so maybe they'll release it as it was intended to be released (direct-to-video... *drools* :D that could mean a hybrid dvd release with BOTH subbed and dubbed versions...but they haven't touched the anime in like 7 years, i don't see why they would now not counting the possibility of the new toon getting popular, so i wouldn't get my hopes high)

Either way it sucks...I mean its hard to imagine, but its even goofier than the freaking original cartoon! Never thought I'd be saying that about an anime based on TMNT. But its based on the original TMNT cartoon, but with just some staggeringly bad animation in parts. The whole 'freeze frame with blazing lines' special move garbage is really distracting. This is a perfect example, like Robots in Disguise/Armada why folks dont like the modern kiddy anime.

IMHO, the new TMNT is the real anime version.(crisper animation and desgins, etc)

I had a copy of a copy of a copy of 3 of the episodes :D but I seemed to have taped over them for some reason because now I can't find them anywhere :cry: It was the same tape that had the Turtles singing kid-songs.

"Leonardo had a rowboat..."

Anyhow, there are Japanese dubs of the origional cartoon available on VHS. There was some of them on Ebay about a year ago, still in their packaging too. They're produced by Towa Video and IIRC there's about 25 tapes, each with 2 episodes on it. I picked up 3 tapes of them :evilgrin: Vernon and Krang sound soooo weird!

IMO those were totally lame. I actually just skipped through 'em, but found nothing that interested me. Ah well, maybe a lil' bit later I'll actually try to watch the whole thing.

[heretic888]

oh yeah.... well..... SUPAH MYU-TASHAN!!!!!!

[Nickokapo]

I found all those transformations kinda interesting...y'know, the armor thing, the human-like thing, the winged human thing :P i grew up watching saint seiya so naturally the armor thing interested me a lot.
Other than that the anime's kinda cheesy...but it's good :D maybe someday i'll watch the whole thing, for now i'll pass :dead: it's not that good, i need subtitles or something ;)

[Deathknight]

I have a copy of a copy of most of the anime episodes and they're not subbed.... either way, it was incredibly stupid. It's such a bad spoof off of power rangers.

[Nickokapo]

Most?I'm interested, are you talking about the OVA (eg originally animated in japan episodes?) or just the regular US cartoons series dubbed in japanese?
If it's the OVA you're talking about, aprox.how many eps do you have?
Sorry for asking so many questions but i havent been able to collect much info on this anime so im quite curious.
And yes the anime seemed pretty stupid to me :D 'cause the action scenes weren't serious most of the time, if they were then maybe the series would've been much better.
