First episode of red sky watched

I just watched "Get Shredder" and I must say it was very good. It seems that action is back, and animation is great. I hope that the rest of eps are as good.

They are very good. The fight scenes are great, there's practically no slapstick. Even Mikey has been toned down.

It's seems like the best TMNT in many seasons. Most episodes of season 4-6 are just bleh, Season 7 had some good ones tough. Well it's mostly written by David Wise, and so Is the Red sky, and he co wrote the first season too. I must say he is the best writer in that cartoon.

red sky eps were my least favorite. This new toon is sounding good and if it's anything like he-man or jla i'm sure it will be. Sure i don't watch jla but i saw it a few times and it wasn't bad!

They ruined it when they took Mike's weapons! At the beginning, they all had grapling hooks but then they tried to make it Mike's own special thing and it just doesn't work. It was a rope...

I liked Season 8 but I didn't like all the aliens coming from nowhere and everywhere...

I never liked season 8 that much. The Shredder and Krang eps were decent but the ones with other villians were just stupid. H.a.v.o.c. was stupid, that ninja clan was even worse, it just blew my mind at how badly the writers wanted to get rid of Shredder. Turtle Trek was probably my favorite red sky episode. Lots of good fights and the battles in the technodrome were cool. Problem was they had too many random alien battles in that ep. First they encountered that weird looking alien then they find what they think is a hill but turns out to be an even bigger monster. Then there was the battle to get the ship with "the wrecking crew". So let's just say I wished that the red sky had ended there.

Well Im not sure if I like it when the aliens get in it, but for what i've seen, it's the best TMNT in that series for a long time. It has even continuity. Well of course it might have been a shock to people who had watched the joker turtles for many years, bur for them the new show is probably going to be even bigger one. Well im sure there is humor, but not like that.

Seasons 8-10 of the TMNT cartoon. It's better in all ways than seasons 2-7. It has fight scenes, great animation, good plots, and continuity. Of course I haven't watched episodes with those aliens in it, but I don't think it will be that bad.

I always thought the early Red Sky eps were some of the best.

Because the writers were morons and decided to make the sky red, that concept totally blew my mind. It made absolutely no sense and was just stupid anyway. The red sky episodes were still amusing to me but I like most of the old tmnt episodes better. Still I say that season 8 should've had more Shredder and Krang. And trust me on this Karpo, Season 8 is MUCH better than Season 9 and 10.

Though it probably wasn't the writers who made the sky red, but the animation team.

Yes they wanted totally new look, and it worked. Personally I think they could have done good animation and a normal looking sky. Like the first season.

Personally, I think the red sky concept was a joke. It should've just been normal and the animators should've smacked themselves upside the head.
