Should I get the DVDs?
 
I need to catch up big time (still on season 1) but I see all of season 2 is not on DVD yet.

How are the DVD's? Is it just worth buying them digitally? Can anyone share some screencaps from the DVDs?

Mew 02-07-2015 12:39 PM

:anime:
Yes!
You don't have to keep 'em on DVR!
I like the ones with the mini comic!

Leo656 02-07-2015 12:42 PM

I get 'em all so I can watch them at my leisure. Just easier that way.

eledoremassis02 02-07-2015 12:45 PM

Sounds good! I don't have a DVR anymore so I gotta really catch up.

Luckly Nick.com has some of season 2 but the episodes seem random (early season 2 and some season 3)

I'm still holding off on the DVDs in hope of a Blu-ray.

I'll probably cave in soon, though.

You can get the DVDs if you really like the show and want to rewatch more than one time.

I did recently buy the season 1 DVDs and binge watched it. I liked it much less than when I originally watched it, so be careful if you think your opinion of the show could get worse.

Yeah. Yeah it definitely peaked immediately and went downhill from there.

Some of the stuff that is annoying in small doses is nigh-unbearable in large ones.

I don't think they put any Nickelodeon show's on bluray. But I got the dvds and they look great on my high-def TV despite being DVD.

eledoremassis02 02-07-2015 02:00 PM

Hmm I wish they had these on Hulu or Netfix just to try and see if I still like it as much as I did :tgrin: I only got into 4 episodes before I became too busy ><

I shoulda got it on that amazon sale when it was like $10 lol

I wouldn't hold my breath. Nick isn't known for releasing shows on bluray. Just their feature films and a few of their made for tv specials.

It's currently the only cartoon they ever did that with. Not even the last Airbender series is on bluray. They currently don't have any plans for the ninja turtles on bluray.

Powder 02-07-2015 05:59 PM

All of season 2 is on DVD, actually. In fact, the first segment of season 3 is on the way.

eledoremassis02 02-07-2015 06:11 PM

Really?

Is there some sort of guide? Everytime I walk into the store I get so confused lol

Powder 02-07-2015 06:13 PM

Mutagen Mayhem, The Good, The Bad, & Casey Jones, and Showdown In Dimension X. Those 3 2-disc DVD sets make up the entirety of season 2.

Leo656 02-07-2015 06:18 PM

Pretty sure Wikipedia can tell you, also, I check that out when I get confused about what's what.

See, eventhough Korra was taken off tv showtime and reduced to internet web episodes, it still gets blu rays! All seasons!

But NOOOO, tmnt doesn't deserve it, even with movie and merchandises and what not. Seriously wtf Nick? :roll:

Leo656 02-07-2015 06:30 PM

I've never seen Korra and only know of it through cultural osmosis, but even I know that it's 10x as popular as TMNT is at the moment. C'mon.

blindturtle02 02-07-2015 06:43 PM

I like the dvds because they split all the two parters up and I enjoy the recaps. But I'm weird that way. If you buy them digitally, you never know how long they'll be available. Seriously, those amazon and iTunes terms of use are interesting if you take the time to read them. I also like having the discs in case my Net goes out for a while.

eledoremassis02 02-07-2015 07:56 PM

How do the DVDs look? Really leaning towrds getting them :D

Powder 02-07-2015 08:02 PM

I don't have an HD TV myself, but just the same, the picture is gorgeous even on my little old-school TV. :tol: I think they're well worth having, but I'm a stickler for owning physical media, so maybe I'm biased. Plus I like having a shelf/draw filled to the brim with TMNT DVD's. Feels great every time I lock eyes with it. :trazz: There's not much in the way of extras/special features (some animatics & stuff, though) but a few of them come with posters, which is nice.

Leo656 02-07-2015 08:08 PM

I like your style.

All you need to know about Korra is the main character becomes a lesbian by the end of the series. Its notable because its the first cartoon in the U.S. that's aimed at kids/teens to have a "gay" main character. Even though she has a boyfriend for the first two seasons of the show and doesn't turn lesbian till the very tail-end.

Leo656 02-07-2015 08:48 PM

I am pretty sure I would "need" to know more than THAT if I were actually going to watch it, guy. You over-simplifying schmuck-o-leptic.

I just know from how often I hear about the show and see articles about it pop up, that TMNT would need a rocket up its metaphorical ass to come close to Korra's popularity and cultural relevance at this point. I like the TMNT franchise but I'm not delusional about it.

Technically, Adventure Time had a lesbian relationship of sorts before Korra. It was only implied, but people behind the show confirmed it.

Well its a sequel to Avatar that came before it. Its a cartoon that looks like an anime about kids with elemental powers who save the world from tyrants.

Both series only have around 60 episodes each so they're short shows. I watched both shows for the first time last year.

Leo656 02-07-2015 08:54 PM

These are all things I already know because it's Everywhere.

Kinda like how people who never, ever watched TMNT at least know the gist of it.

Well yep. Both shows are on DVD if you ever want to check them out.

Leo656 02-07-2015 09:00 PM

Eh. I'm sure they're just fine but for whatever reason they never hooked me. Never know, though. I've gotten into tons of stuff I never planned on. It's not currently on my radar.

Also, only partly up to me, as the wife holds the remote and she is the opposite of interested in both of those shows, for some reason.

Big help!

Thank you :)

SuperManwich 02-08-2015 02:54 PM

Actually, Superman The Animated Series back in the late 90's had Maggie Sawyer, Turpin's police partner, who was heavily implied to be a lesbian. First animated lesbian? I don't know, but since it was discussed in here, it was something small that was implied in the show.
