Show like the NEW NICK TMNT SERIES
 
I had been out of the TMNT universe for years until about 2 months ago when I was flipping through channels and came across the new series and now I'm hooked. I fully caught up as of last night and I was wondering if there are any other toons out there worth checking out?

Before 2 months ago I watched 0 cartoons but i'd love to find another one to check out. Anything newer worth checking out? I love the CGI look of this show and the ongoing story.

I know all about the DCAU, anything outside of that any good. Newer shows is what im looking for.

I highly recommend picking up the Young Justice dvd's. It isn't on the air now, but it was a recent cartoon that was really great. The recent CGI Green Lantern cartoon was also really good.

If you haven't seen it, I'd recommend Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go. Ciro Nieli, the guy in charge of the Nick series, created it and it features the same type of humor and an ongoing storyline like TMNT does. Also, some of the voice actors from this show work on TMNT.

They aren't exactly the same as TMNT, but pretty darn close:

Teen Titans (Ciro created )
Avatar the last airbender (Nickelodeon aired)

Both of those shows have great characters and story.

I can't recommend "Avatar: The Last Airbender" enough.

If you find you like your cartoons a little more...er...bizarre. Then totally go with "Teen Titans Go!"

And if you can find them:

Samurai Jack
Symbiotic Titan

Teen Titans is the closest show to Nick TMNT as the director is the same person.

Avatar the last air bender was incredible. Highly recommend it.

Young justice was also good. The first season atleast. It's on Netflix I know.

Teen titans is another good one, and if you like more goofy, cartoony stuff I hear teen titans go is good.


Like OP, I didn't really watch cartoons that much, and I saw previews for the new show and didn't think much of it. Then towards the end of season one I watched an episode and loved it. Caught up in time for the series finals and have been watching season 2 As it's shown

Tron Uprising
Motorcity
Teen Titans
Green Lantern TAS
Symbiotic Titan
Star Wars The Clone Wars (Not like TMNT, but it's a great action cartoon)
Generator Rex
Spectaclular Spiderman.

All of these are great action shows that ended too early. I'm pretty Generator Rex finished its run though.

I haven't really watched any other shows besides TMNT, But I would guess maybe you would like that Kung Fu Panda series, Anthropomorphized animals doing martial arts.

I'd highly recommend Teen Titans. Not the new version, though (Teen Titan Go!)...the original series. I think some, if not most of the episodes are on Youtube.

Came here to post pretty much this exact list haha. Extra emphasis on Green Lantern, even if it ended prematurely it was still an amazing ride from start to finish. Not to mention the ending was satisfying enough to not drive you crazy. You can pretty much just piece together what would happen afterwards.
If you're into unique heroes with a good balance of humour and seriousness, you should also check out Ben 10 Omniverse, though I will say you'd appreciate it MUCH more if you're already a Ben 10 fan. There's all sorts of subtle and not so subtle callbacks, references, and fanservice for fans of the various Ben 10 incarnations (mostly the original series) sprinkled throughout, but not so much that it detracts fun from the experience from those who aren't as familiar with the universe. I'd say if you're interested in Omniverse, at least watch the original series first and then check out omniverse. You won't regret it. The other Ben 10 series should be avoided though.
Other series I'd recommend (both older and more recent)
Toxic Crusaders
The Real Ghostbusters
Motorcity
Tron Uprising
Adventure Time (it gets much more intense as it goes on, it's worth the wait)
Batman Beyond
Invader Zim
I could go on but I think that's plenty for now.
