I have an open mind trust me...

I do like FF, but I just couldn't help thinking of Looney Toons when I saw Mikey with that expression.

I still, for the life of me, don't understand why in the world the animation style was changed so drastically.

I see this Chaotic nonsense, and think, "hey that is some nice animation." Then I look at FF and BTTS and think, why are they getting the shaft?

I was watching my seasons 1-6 yesterday, and I noticed a couple of things between seasons 1-5 and season 6.

Seasons 1-5 featured really nice animation, and stories that didn't feel rushed, and had some depth to the characters. It felt like a TV show that adults would watch, that appealed to kids.

Season 6 featured episodes that felt faster in pace, and I can never feel that sense of depth like the episodes from seasons 1-5.

Take for example, "still nobody." Watching that episode it doesn't even start with the Turtles. It starts with the prolouge, and then focuses on the witness, Jenco, and that facet of the story, before even getting to the Turtles. In FF it feels like all Turtles, all the time, and anything to do with the atagonist feels like your normal good vs bad guys in old 80's cartoons.

I would mainly like to see some of that depth back in this season. Goggle eye any Turtle for all I care, just put that depth back from seasons 1-5, where the episodes felt longer and the characters felt more lifelike.
