Either that or something like a direct to DVD/Bluray deal Like "Batman: Gotham Knight" or the "Animatrix".

These seeds were sewn long ago. So awesome.

I totally loved it. Not all the jokes were great, but most were. I'd love it if this got sequels.

Because there will always be those times that an April Sparkle Barf Fountain will come in handy:

Cropped to just April version

Put some action and a well-thought-out plot in there and you have potentially the greatest TMNT series right there. I personally like the designs of the characters here (though I'm not particularly an artist myself so, eh). On its own, this short is nothing short of hilarious. I laughed the whole way through. The characterizations of the Turtles themselves were top-notch, and that to me is a high point in just about anything TMNT-related.

*Allio* · 07-21-2016, 07:49 PM

so we all in agreement? This is a top-tier April design?

Unlike most April designs this one actually looks like the kind of teenage girl who'd be into hanging out with mutant turtles tbh.

Yeah that's a pretty great design.

It's my third favorite. First is 2k12 and then OT.

*drgon78* · 07-21-2016, 08:30 PM

The designs look horrible, especially April's, looks like something that would be on CN.

That's a good April design so far, but we still have two other shorts that will debut during the TMNT panel tomorrow, so we gotta see how April will look in those.

What do you guys think of that new design of Splinter from the short?

I mean, it's cute, but it's not really April-ish to me. Also, way too Tumblry.

*sdp* · 07-21-2016, 09:00 PM

I didn't know we were going to get shorts at SDCC. The DonvRaph short was a bit lame, I liked the animation and the weird characters are alright, April was indeed a great design but it was kind of boring and long. I hope Donnie not having one tooth doesn't become a common trait in future TMNT incarnations.

*Donatello19* · 07-21-2016, 09:06 PM

Eugh...I mean, I guess that short was fine for what it was, but I really hope this style of TMNT doesn't become anything more than that, just some shorts. Very Teen Titans Go-ish...no thank you.

Maybe I'm just deprived of the turtles being so in character seeing as how I don't read the comics and the currently-running show has just gone downhill about that. But in this short, Raph is slightly over-the-top in his anger, Donnie is too smart for his own good, Mikey is the naive kid that stays out of things but still gets on their nerves slightly, and Leo is just observing it all in disbelief and trying to find peace.

I haven't seen the Turtles this in-character in anything in awhile. But I will admit I reacted a little strongly about this "potentially being the greatest TMNT series" if it were more than just a one-off short. I watched the short a couple more times since and yeah, idk if that kind of humor would work with TMNT for longer than 5 minutes.

*Powder* · 07-21-2016, 09:22 PM

Fair enough!

Read you some comics, boy! IDW does a great job.

Within minutes, I was reminded exactly why I found Invader Zim so aggressively unpleasant. That vomit meme sums up my thoughts perfectly.

Today is the first SDCC day, right? Official opening to come or already on?
