I just want to post my thoughts really quick. I thought the premiere was excellent! I was a neutral fan of TMNT when younger (I grew up with the 4Kids series) but watching the new series resurrected my love for it. The animation, while at times awkward such as with an empty NYC, was pretty good for a TV show and the fight scenes were excellent and I was pleasantly surprised with the violence it got away with. What I loved most though was the portrayal of the characters, the turtles felt like actual teens to me while still keeping those loveable quirks we are familiar with. I didn't even mind that April was made into a teen, the one thing I was most worried about was Rob Paulsen as Donatello since I felt he should have gotten back his role as Raphael. But I'm over it, I actually really love Rob as Donnie and I love the rest of the cast as well, especially Greg Biggs.

Just thought I would make my opinion.
