Shinigami Appreciation Thread

~~ABrown~~ · 08-22-2016, 02:46 PM

Does anyone else really like this Shinigami character? She's got kind of like a Christina Ricci/(Teen Titans) Raven thing going on. I really hated the fourth season during the outer space arc. But her alone is enough to keep me watching the show. I hope her character doesn't disappear at the end of the season.

*snake* · 08-22-2016, 02:49 PM

I can appriciate that if you know what I mean uh huh

*CyberCubed* · 08-22-2016, 02:52 PM

She's definitely going to spawn a whole new wave of Karai/Shinigami lesbian yuri shippers if it hasn't already. Tumblr and deviantart are bound to be filled with Karai/Shinigami art.

Its amazing how every show has one big lesbian ship. TMNT never had anything like that before, but now with Karai and Shinigami being close friends from Japan and how close they are together...I guess this will be the TMNT version of "yuri ships."

Don't worry she will be in season 5, Gwendolin Yeo has been doing season 5 recording sessions.

But yeah Shinigami is awesome even though I don't trust her.

I think it's too soon. She's only been in 2 episodes, she needs to either be in more or have a really standout moment or two (perhaps an episode that centers around her) before she can make a mark in this franchise. I thought that she would be this series' version of Kitsune, Brandon Auman really likes her (of course he said "The Ever Burning Fire" was his favorite ep, give me a break!), so only time can tell.

*GoldMutant* · 08-22-2016, 03:50 PM

Appreciate Shinigami? Oh, I appreciate her... for making Mikey a love sick puppy again and nearly reducing the other characters to struggle against her despite being captured in the previous episodes.

Literally, the only things I like about Shinigami are her voice and her design, though I'm indifferent to the hat. She's just not interesting at all right now besides serving as Karai's second in command, just as Tiger Claw is to Shredder. Dig into her character besides Karai and Mikey, delve into the backstory or give her an episode of her own. Establish what is said: a character who's neutral, not bad but not good.

*IndigoErth* · 08-22-2016, 03:50 PM

Yup... didn't take long for the thread to start becoming what I figured it would be.

She's okay. Not a bad character, but can't say I'm a fan yet.

So if Karai is 16 in this show, Shinigami is probably 15?

That's even better.

I need a smiley that raises an eyebrow.

Missed that piece. Goodness. Yeah, the 20s+ Shini fanboys may need to learn to keep it under control.

I mean what were some of you expecting? They're teenage girls. The entire main cast is younger in this version.

If you want to see 20+ year old Karai, April, Casey etc. watch the 2k3 series or any other series for that matter. Read the comics.

I don't think anyone was expecting anything.

*CyberCubed* · 08-22-2016, 04:40 PM

LOL, a 5 second search on deviantart brought this up:

Spoiler:

The shippers have already started and its only been 2 episodes! Batter down the hatches everyone!

*snake* · 08-22-2016, 04:42 PM

Spoiler that sh*t or atleast resize it

*TurtleTitan97* · 08-22-2016, 04:45 PM

No one cares about what shippers think aside from you, Cubed.

*snake* · 08-22-2016, 04:47 PM

If shippers mean more Shinigami artwork I'm all for it

Just like the fan-girls and their love of the turtles?

this isn't a one way street mate.

I don't recall her mentioning that she was younger. I mean yeah she called Karai sempai, but Sempai is an honorific that means Upperclassmen. So that mearly could have meant that Karai was at a higher rank within the Foot then Shini.

Not a bad character, but can't say I'm a fan yet. Spoiler: Hoping she's intended to be a bit older, because the implant look on a teen kind of bugs me a little. Not a damn bit of gravity happening there, those are definitely fake/faked.
