TMNT anime - Page 2

Ninja Tiptup · 12-18-2003, 11:25 PM

The anime was a shameless ploy to sell toys over seas. It was only an OVA afterall. But then again every TMNT series has been a ploy to sell toys so meh... whatever. I loved the animation though. I've really gotta get the subbed DVD off of eBay.

It's prety cheap. $12 bucks for mine.

I was pleased with the animation quality, much much better thanthe tv series and just about on par with the miniseries (except no bandana miscolorings).

I enjoyed it. Shredder from the 2nd OVA looked badass.

I couldn't stand Krang's voice, however. Not for a second.

I have to say, with the exception of that annoying robotic DBZ transformation crap they got going, it sounds pretty interresting.

And by the way, Saki's name is Sawaki in Japan... for some odd reason they have to translate Japanese names into japanese....

Ok... I voted before I read the first post. That sounds retarded and I hope they never bring that show to america because I think it would cause first time viewers who know nothing about TMNT to hate it and get the wrong impression. The Japanese have ruined the concept of TMNT and they obviously have a very sick imagination, or lack thereof. I mean c'mon, giant transforming robots and power crystals? The end of the world is truly upon us.

Wow, sure is a lot of ignorance towards the ways of anime in this thread. I'd go and try to repair some of the damage if it wouldn't take me 3 days.

The TMNT Anime is just a neat little oddity. Nothing more, nothing less. It is of no threat to anyone's way of life. Get a grip on yourselves.

By the way, Krang actually calls Shredder "Saki-chan", which is just too damn hilarious.

Sayonara.

Think of it as a "Lost Season"

...In a Parralel Universe,where it's the same year, and it's the same series, but everything else is different.

And what if you can't find your way home?

Hm.... DBZ dosent have robotic transofrmations. Must be thinking of Macross or Robotech

.

Saki in Japan is a REALLY potent kinda beer, so that could be why they changed his name Sawaki.

is it the same as sake, or is sake another drink?

Don't you mean Sake? And it's not pronounced "saki" either, but that's a topic for a different time.

I have two clips of the anime version and I must say, it left me scratching my head. They had Shredder, Rocksteady, and Beebop running straight up the sides of the wall and some metallic tiger turning into what appears to be Shredder. Strange stuff.

Still, that didn't keep me from downloading some songs from the soundtrack of that series.

And Sredder never called him Krang, he just constantly referred to him as "Stupid Octopus".

Also, for the record, the anime continues the story form the TMNT manga. That's why they had a "Previously" segment at the beginning of the first OVA.

And also, there's only 2 OVA episodes. People get confused because there were three tapes. The first tape had the first episode, the second tape had the second episode and the third tape released contained both OVA episodes. That's all.

(Smacks head...) DUHHH!!!! Why didn't I think of it before?

The Anime!!! How else would you explain these (american released) toys?

Metal mutant Shredder

Metal Mutant Donny

Metal mutant Leo

Metal Mutant Raph

Metal Mutant Mikey

Now the pieces are comming together!!!

*PizzaPower* · 12-22-2003, 12:12 PM

those toyus do not look like the japense TMNT.

*Drtooth* · 12-22-2003, 12:17 PM

I dunno... they seem similar from the clips I've seen at ninjaturtles.com

maybe they pulled a MUSCLE and released just the toys, and not the cartoon....

Ninjatron · 12-22-2003, 12:53 PM

Heh heh, pulled a MUSCLE.

Those are indeed toys based on the anime. Or was the anime based on those toys? Whatever. Those were not the only ones either.

Sayonara.
