Japanese TMNT Cartoon - anyone buy it?

darthsmozers · 09-05-2004, 11:11 AM

Ill be at Baltimore Comic Con next week. Last year a vendor was selling a DVD containing two Japanese TMNT cartoon specials. Im just wondering if anyone's seen this, and if so is it worth having just for fun?

Thanks.

They're alright. You can download them (at horrible quality, I might add), over on ninjaturtlesnetwork.com, no subtitles though.

darthsmozers · 09-05-2004, 12:00 PM

do you think the copy on dvd is better quality?

JDavis · 09-05-2004, 12:17 PM

Most undoubtedly.

I guess it's worth throwing your money down a rat hole for a few laughs.

I've got that DVD. I enjoy it, and of course the DVD has subtitles. So I say go for it.

That's how I felt about the anime. I made it through one episode and damn near stuck a fork in my eye.

im thinking just for the purpose of being a completist.

I don't own it but I've seen it a couple of times already. It's pretty cool. One of my pet pieves with the anime is how the TMNT look when they transform into super mode. They look like something out of "The Tick". I guess it's like that for humor. Krang's Japanese voice is just as humorous as his English version!

Btw, uh, Alison Chains, what happened to Grunger Kittie?

Heh, I've had mixed reactions to the name Change. a few 'Whyyyyyyyy????"s a few "Excellent change"s. I just wanted to try something new, I've been using GK for several years now, just wanted to try out something else. (It's a pun, there is a band I really liked called Alice In Chains, for those who dont get it)

Oh, ok. I see what you mean.

Btw, that's an awesome avatar of Battle Angel Alita!

nope, but it's rated RRRRRRRRRRRRgh

Is the story and the episodes the same just with an anime look or what?? But why will they do that? Why make an anime instead of using the original. And dont understand that they can get the rights.

Karai · 09-08-2004, 05:21 PM

The Ninja Turtles anime has a different story, but essentially is the same. It's like what you'd get if you crossed Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers. Instead of just being ninjas, the Turtles can now power up and become "Super Turtles". It's kind of stale, but I'd probably get a copy of the anime just to say I had it.

And they didn't even have any personalities in these two episodes...
