Most people already know that the original 1987 mini series was animated by (the vastly superior) Toei.
My question is this. According to wiki, Toei animated some later episodes aswell... Does anyone know if this is true and if so what are they?

Cheers

This subject recently came up as a matter of discussion:

While most fans had assumed Toei worked on a number of TMNT episodes after the first season, Toei's archive apparently only credits the first five (http://classic-web.archive.org/web/20030105134112/www.toei-anim.co.jp/oldies/collabo3.html).

My guess is that some of the better animated episodes after the first season (Turtles on Trial, for instance) were done by the master of overseas animation, TMS.

Thanx for the links Adam. I agree that Turtles on Trial, Enter the Fly and Zach the firth Turtles we're brilliant done, especially compared to the others (Enter the fly being my fave out of that lot.)
But they still didn't have that Anime edge like Toei's first season. I seen every episode about a million times up to the point where Shredder left the show and was replaced by that boring alien character (Kragg or whatever his name is). I'm pretty sure now that Toei never did anything after season 1.
(Someone mention Pryde of xmen there too.. another Toei classic!! :)
As for TMS.. ill have to look and see what other eps they did.
Cheers dude
