How well is the Nick TMNT doing in Japan? - Page 2

*ssjup81* · 07-08-2014, 08:36 PM

A friend of mine told me recently about the toys at Toys r Us. I was like cool, I should get some pics. lol

And yeah, if it's airing at that time, I doubt most kids can see it, unless Kids Station rebroadcast it. The best time to air such things are on Sundays. Kids are usually at home.

That aside, which part of Japan are you in?

If you go to Nakano and frequent Nakano Broadway, you should find some Turtles merch. I did..but mostly Gen I designed things...but I also didn't check for 2k12 stuff due to lack of interest at the time. Either way if you want to experience some nostalgia in general (not just Turtles stuff) I recommend it.

I've seen many wonderful japanese artists drawing TMNT 2k12 lately on tumblr, so I think there's a healthy amount of fans there.

There's a Japanese site kinda like YouTube that has all the currently aired Japanese episodes. The first episode has over 33,000 views right now and last Saturday's episode has over 1,000 right now. Every Saturday a user submits the new episode there.

I know I'm not allowed to share links to full episodes publicly but if I'm allowed to send them through PM, I will for anyone that wants to see them. The site has some adult adds, though (I thought I should say)

I'm not to crazy for the voices. I think Michelangelo sounds kinda like a crazy, little, old Japanese lady that would live in a trailer.

Can you please sent me the link trough PM?

*ssjup81* · 07-10-2014, 03:46 AM

Yeah, same. I'm curious what they sound like. I'm just like Casey though, I don't care for English dubs of Japanese shows and I don't care for Japanese dubs of English shows. lol

Cry4Ugly · 07-10-2014, 03:01 PM

Okay, I sent both of you PMs

I sent you a PM, I hope it works for you.

tinlunlau · 07-11-2014, 03:06 PM

Send it over to me too!
I wanna see if episode 4 got censored like it did in Hong Kong.

jezza · 07-12-2014, 01:01 AM

I would be interested in seeing it too please, if you're able to send a PM/

Cry4Ugly · 07-12-2014, 03:12 PM

Okay, sent them.

I actually think the nick TMNT would do well there, since Ninja heroes are a staple of Japanese pop culture/fiction. (Goemon the mystical ninja, Naruto, Ryu from the Ninja Gaiden series, Sheena from Tales of Symphonia, etc.) They even teamed up with a ninja guardian in the TMNT OVA. Even though it's not anime, the turtles should fit right in!

Not if it's not in a decent time slot, I couldn't see it doing all that well and 7:30 on a weekday morning is good for like...housewives and preschoolers too young for Kindergarten (which students can start as young as three), not like elementary school kids who are probably already on their ways to school by then. The best time to air kids shows here are Sundays. Kids also don't use the internet very much here, compared to other places like say the UK or the US.

I was reading the comments for the first ep. A couple mentioned that it was nostalgic. Another I asked for ep 2. Others mentioned that they loved it. That's a good sign.

So anyway just saw the first ep. Not much dialog change from what I can catch. Sucks they changed the intro song, though, but I know the music group. The song's ok. The ending sequence, I like. The song didn't feel as generic, like pretty much all current J-pop music within the last few years but not a fan of that surfer sound, as far as the Turtles go, but at least it's a tad better than our version, imo. I like the scenes and stuff they used for it. Still don't care for the intro theme change. For Spongebob that's not changed, just the lyrics to the song are changed to Japanese but the music is the same. Oh, and the ending theme is called "Booyakashaa" by some group called the Urufuruz...or maybe "Wolves"? Don't know the group either way.

The voices were ok, I guess. Mikey sounds familiar though and so does Donnie. I doubt I know them though. I rarely ever watch anime stuff aside from older series. Raph has kind of a strong masculine way of speaking from what I could catch. I didn't mind Donnie, until the part where he was telling Splinter and the others that they had to help Kirby and April. It just sounded....bad to me. I dunno.

I wish Leo sounded younger. One thing I liked about Biggs was how he had that strong "hero" portrayal, but then switch to "teen voice", like, "We must fight for justice" *the others ignore his Space Hero speech* "Are? Minna matte yo! [Hey wait everyone!]" or whatever. lol The main reason I actually wanted to check out the Japanese version was for the Kraang. lol

Oh yeah, Donnie seeing April. He was more like "She's the best girl ever" or maybe something equivalent to "She's the best girl in the world" something like that. lol

Well, I can say this...it's interesting. Sucks I can't just watch this on TV.
