Did you enjoy the 2 part anime tmnt OVA from the 90s?
 
Title says all, What are your thoughts?

I found it pretty funny, full of anime cliche's and jokes. Best of all were Krang and Shredder's voice actors.
Too bad there were only two parts of it. I would have watched a whole series of this :D

It's basically the same as the FW show, just with the quality issues of the animation traded in for a lower framerate. That's the short of it.

I know there are people who think this OVA is worthy of some particular scorn, presumably because it forces in power upgrades that really don't fit in with the show it's a spin-off of, and it sure has it's fair share of problems but it's honestly not that different in any other way. The basic problems are that it's kind of boring, nonsensical and full of jokes that really don't work... But those are problems the Fred Wolf cartoon suffers from in the first place and an average episode of that has more problems than this OVA. Honestly, if you were to dub this OVA with a some major editing and shove it into season 7, it'd probably not stick out as much as you'd think.

I personally think it pushed some lines, trying to maintain the goofiness while shoving in 90's anime elements. With the fairies and all. Not the best of justification.

The manga versions were fun too. I did like the way Krang and Shredder done, though. Even if Shredder's new armor was ridiculous xD . And wearing pajamas on top of it, as you do.

Someone needs to see Season 7 because I sure don't remember stuff like that happening in the series at that point. :D

It's a pretty fun romp, that accompanied some pretty cool toys.

And the fan-dub is pretty spiffy.

It was alright for what it was. I just didn't like how the Turtles all seemed to have the same personality, however. Krang's voice was also a tad annoying.

Shredder's design was pretty cool, though.

I haven't re-watched them but I liked them a lot, especially since I was always a fan of Saint Seiya which they parody. Would've liked more episodes of it even if it isn't the greatest thing it's a fun OVA.

It's funny you find Krang's voice annoying, especially since there was that laughing scene with Shredder, Rocksteady, and Bebop going insane from it.

You mean the seiya crossover with the song by mr. Kageyama?

Nah, it's bad, but it's the japanese saying "the yankies ruined our property, so we will ruin their" for ruining the Super Sentai series

Of course we can't have a TMNT anime without the Turtles and Shredder/Bebop/Rocksteady transforming in typical anime trope fashion. The fairy woman even has a boob bounce fanservice shot when she gets grabbed from behind by the evil fairy woman.

Typical 90's anime nonsense.

Well to be fair, boobs are affected by force like everything else.

I think the only problem I had with the series is that there was not more. Both OVAs feel like there is more to them and they do not feel like stand alones. I was very sad when I realized that they were not continuations of each other.

The animation isn't bad and the story was meh. I did enjoy them more than the 80s cartoon. I still cringe at some of the 80s cartoon lol but I enjoy them all the same.

Uh, what? Even anime/manga aimed at kids like Dragonball has tons of fanservice. Especially the first series with all the Bulma fanservice, and Goku walks around naked as a kid.

The Bulma stuff was ridiculous, but Goku walking around naked is no problem. Kids change in front of each other when young here. It's no big deal. Older kids don't.

Goku is 12 in the beginning of Dragonball. I'm surprised Japan allows full frontal nudity on underage kids.

As for Bulma at least she was 16, which is legal in some countries. We only see her ass though, her boobs are always covered.

But the joke was that he looked way younger than that and Goku was raised in the wild after Gohan was accidentally killed by him. He and Bulma shared the washroom together. If she'd known his real age, she wouldn't have and went berserk on him when she did find out his age.

It's probably not a big deal because people bathe in front of each other here and small kids do too.

i thought the OVAs were pretty fun and the figures that came out of them were pretty awesome.

I really wish they brought them over with the english voice actors, but hey, can't win em all. And it was pretty weirdo, even for that era.

Toy commercial, nice and simple.
