Pre-Lost Season debut poll: Have you seen all the LS episodes?

[Scandia]

Why is "Membership Drive" not included?

It may be my least favorite episode of the season, but it is not bad. It is in the AU/NZ box set.

Read the whole part on that. It's not included in the vote, as it was aired on 4Kids (just like with the ep. "Ninja Tribunal", which is likely to be part of the DVD Set as well).

Ooooh. I understand. Thank you.

And if it IS really stealing-- is there a REWARD for snitching?

[JusticeForce]

Okay, yeah, I caved in and watched them on YouTube months ago

However, my husband decided he could be patient,and has only seen "Membership Drive" (but before it aired on TV. While I was watching the eps on YouTube I was so excited to see that Nano finally got a happy ending that I made him watch that one again with me. Nano's sad fate had been bothering us for years).

I bought them from Austalia and fixed a DVD player to be region zero so I could watch them, it was a pain but it was worth it

Well, in all honesty, even though it wasn't the best we've seen, I've seen WAAAAY crappier than that in my life.

Oh I agree, some animes I've been submitted to like torture come to mind.

The thing is I watch toons on my HDTV which is widescreen. The good shows look amazing and the colors are very rich. In some cases they look even better despite being wider then usual.

If an episode is already pixelated on my computer, which is 19 inches*Also HD* then on my TV*Which is 32 inches* I know it's going to look bad. I took quality into account. It's just the backgrounds simply weren't made large enough. That or the Aussie DVD just looks bad. Which is very possible.

The Season One re-release set looks 100 times better then the first releases of season one. The same goes for the FF DVDs, which is where they started I believe. The FF disks look better then the Season 4 one. So I look forward to the new sets even more simply because the quality is so much better.

Early on I watched the first episode or two online, but decided to stop and just wait for the TV release. Spoilers have been rife but I've avoided them as much as possible... this season may be a disappointment (from what I hear), but I'd rather see it on the TV first. That way I can at least entertain myself by analyzing why it does/does not disappoint (visually, at least).

[Keno]

no. well..i think i might have watched one episode...but i'm glad i left it for the tv. i miss waking up every saturday morning, all excited and everything...aw. i'm looking forward to that again.

[Kendamu]

I've seen some of them online. However, it's been awhile since I've seen what I have seen so it'll be mostly new to me.

[Ra]

Not only have I seen all of the Lost Season, but I own the box set, obtained at my local Myers center in Australia. I haven't regretted it at all, to be honest. It's something that made my love for TMNT flare up like a rash again, so I can't be mad at it.

Sorry, please delete my double-post.

Oh, visually I'd say it's spot-on. You know those episodes of the 2k3 series that are weird and angular-looking (eg. I Monster, Exodus Part 2, Adventures in Turtle-Sitting... um can't think of others right now), versus the ones where everything is rounded and pretty (eg. Grudge Match, Good Genes)? The Lost Season is all the second one.

[Masked Ninja]

Hm, sounds good. Also I look forward to dissecting the animation in my head. Chances are there'll be some solid stuff and some not-so-solid stuff, just like any regular season.

sidenote: I recently saw the season trailer on the 4Kids site and it made me so excited. Sure, a lot of it looks kinda like the anime-type "powerup!!" nonsense people have complained about, but I got goosebumps anyway. I suppose that's some kudos to the person who edited that sucker.

there are some parts where you can blatantly tell that it is recycled animation. In Lap of the Gods there is a scene where Leo is screaming while getting attacke by some fire demon and they show it twicew for another scene. It was pretty obvious.

They did this through out the series. Splinter fighting the foot ninja's in "The Shredder Strikes Back" is from "The Shredder Strikes". Some of "City at War" and "The Shreddder Strikes" is pre-used. So that's not a big deal.
