New Show coming in 2018

[Utrommaniac]

It especially removes a lot of the laziness that causes the "cheesy 2D rigged" animation.

I always prefer Traditionally animated but would not mind if the show is done in flash.

[Papenbrook]

I wonder if we'll see an episode that was animated backwards.

I would like to see an episode animated in reverse. That would be really cool. *sarcasm*

[Utrommaniac]

...What...what does that mean

So like this

[IndigoErth]

Reverse? In that case, just skip the next series and save money by replaying 2012 (minus stand-alone eps/arcs) backwards from finish to start.

Spoiler:

The story about three bothers and a robot who, after presumably finding a "fountain of youth" oasis, go their separate ways and fight each other in a wasteland... Over time the world heals and the robot, who wanted to be a real boy, er, Turtle, finds "humanity," in mutant Turtle form; the brothers reunite, now as four. A zombie demon raises up, is killed once, but comes back and physically regenerates over time. (Gradually his interests in revenge decline and he moves to Japan.) Not long after the final resurrection of the zombie demon, a zombie rat man also arises, regenerates, and decides that he should move in with the Turtle brothers and boss them around. At some point the Turtles grow tired of it and run off for a space adventure and save the world and eradicate space Dino's upon return, then busy themselves with mutants that are turning into humans and the Kraang who realize the error of their ways (albeit with the Turtles to remind them sometimes) and work to fix their mess before leaving Earth. But the rat man's control grows stronger over time, to the point that the stress causes their skills to weaken, Donatello takes out the frustration by dismantling all of this inventions, and later the Turtles stop speaking to their friends entirely. Eventually the rat's control prevents them from ever leaving the lair again.

So 2012 ends kinda sad no matter which direction you play it.

That's creative, but that wasn't what I had in mind.

Voice clips of the Turtles, April and Splinter.

I can hear the black in Raph and Mikey's voice. With Raph it's okay, with Mikey it sounds too much "smartass black dude". Everyone else sounds on point IMO.

I already love Splinter's voice.

Leonardo reminds me a lot of Nick Leo, but with a higher/lighter tone to it.

Donatello has that kind of nerdy, know-it-all voice I could quickly get used to.

Mikey and Raph... Not feeling it yet. I'm so used to Nick's '12 version of them.

Can't say anything yet about April.

[Papenbrook]

So, I looked at this again.

April is a true New Yorker and a real firecracker: upbeat, wisecracking, and confident. As the Turtles’ only ally, she loves them like brothers—and along with her pet, Mayhem, joins them on all their epic adventures.

Apparently, she'll have a familial relationship with the Turtles'. So, it looks like there won't be any romance between April and Donatello (or any of the Turtles', really).

That tends to be common. All incarnations April tended to be big sister figure / den mother of the Turtles. But Donnie is one she has a frequent bond with in various versions as a younger brother figure and best friend.

In Donatello’s Duplicate there is moment where April encounters the clone of Donatello. Thinking this is the real Donnie she asks him why he’s working for Pinky McFingers. To which the clone pretty much tells her it’s none of her buisness. Then April responds by saying “If Donatello’s gone bad there really is no hope for this world.”

They were asked at the reveal if there would be Apritello and they didn't want to confirm either way at this point.

Overall that looks pretty decent, but I don't like the way their teeth show when they smirk as seen with Raph/Mike there.

But overall these designs of the Turtles are starting to look a bit more natural when you see them all together.

[Shark_Blade]

Raph is like 2/3 of the whole screen.

[TheJ-manTurtleMan]

Raph does seem to be at the forefront of most of the promotional art we've seen so far, they're really pushing him to be the favorite huh?

[FredWolfLeonardo]

I love Raph being in the spotlight

[newfan]

He's quite lot bigger which I may give him too much of an advantage, though size doesn't always mean the best skills.

[Xiewin]

Not to sound like I'm reaching or anything, but in 2012 Raph was handled quite badly (my opinion). And in 2003 he had the least episodes of all the turtles and suffered from being one dimensional like Mikey. They had people behind the scenes for those shows as well who had biases for certain turtles and it definitely showed. Honestly, this isn't really different.
