Voice Acting

*Spitfire* · 07-10-2006, 10:35 AM

I was watching the first few season 1 DVDs and wow the voice acting stinks. Compared to the new episodes it's just horrible. Don sounds like a total geek, Splinter sounds like a white dude trying to sound like a Japanese guy, Raph tries way to hard to sound angery and edgy and fails at it, Mikey is the worst with his little jokes that are excuted horribly, and Leo sadly was the only one with some decent voice acting but even his you can hear the improvment on in the later seasons.

Anyone else notice this? Or am I the only one bothered by this...

Edit:
You know the animation is really bad too. And how the hell did Splinter know exactly how the TMNT ended up in the sewers if he was IN the sewer when they fell on him? Further more why are they all the same color when their babies, and why would their first words be Splinter? That's retarded.

Now that I think about it I really can't even watch these episodes their pretty dated compared to the newer seasons. With all the lame jokes it's like a 2nd rate version of the old show with lots of stock footage useage and lazy ass animation where they split the screen and strech out the images.
