Which is your favorite TMNT Series?

InsaneZane · 05-22-2003, 03:26 PM

It's a hard run.
The original series is classic, more amusing, but it changed the story a little bit from the original comic book.

The new series is more serious, has way more action, and follows more closly to the original comic series and movies, whichever.

I think the Red Sky series is out-classed here.
and the live action even more than RedSky.

I'd say this series. I can't remember alot about the old show (other than what i watched on kazaa) but I can remember most of these episodes, so i'll say the 2003 series

well.. i can't really tell what's my favorite cause it's 2 totally different kind of shows... (i'm not even thinking of red sky or the live action

)

but the old show is a true classic so i had to choose it...

The Old Series changed the story "A LITTLE"? The only similarity was the names of the characters. The New Series or the first movie changed the story "a little". The Old Series completely ignored the Mirage storyline.

Well anime is the japanese word for animation, so maybe that's what he meant? *shrugs

Anyways, I go for the new series the best, even though I still love the original

**Karpo_007** · 05-22-2003, 05:38 PM

As long as I have known Mirage, I have prefered it's Great Story telling, deep characters and of course the Family aspect. Old show lacked this while the new has every one of these. Therefore the choice for me is easy.

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 05-22-2003, 05:47 PM

The first season of the old cartoon was animated in japan. Also, i think the first season was fairly mirage based though not nearly as much as the new show.

I voted for the new show however. It totally outclasses the other TV series.

**Karpo_007** · 05-22-2003, 05:52 PM

Wel I don't know if the first season had that much mirage influence in it, but it has the best animation of the show and I like it far better than anything that follows.

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 05-22-2003, 05:56 PM

It had the foot crime wave. It had Baxter and the mousers. It had a battle with a street gang. And it had the TMNT rescue April. That's about it.

**Karpo_007** · 05-22-2003, 05:59 PM

Actually thats right... There seems to be few similarities afterall.

Shellfox · 05-22-2003, 06:03 PM

Since noone else ever will say it, as far as shows go Next Mutation influcned me more so than any other the other series

Krangfan · 05-22-2003, 07:13 PM

The original for sure! It had so many of it's own original ideas, such as the Foot clan being robots, and the whole Dimension X thing.

*XERO* · 05-22-2003, 08:52 PM

As much as I want to see the old show again, the new show has it beat.

Better Action, Better Humor, Better Music (though the Original Theme Music is legendary), and of course, Better Turtles.

Ninja Tiptup · 05-22-2003, 08:54 PM

It's too hard to say which is the best series. I'm quite partial to both the new one and the original TMNT. I like both equally, but I LOVE the originals theme song.

InsaneZane · 05-23-2003, 12:03 PM

Wow, Over 100 views and only 19 votes so far...
I guess it really is a hard question, huh?

**Karpo_007** · 05-23-2003, 12:24 PM

Well it's like comparing Terminator and American pie. Two totally diffrent things, I guess it's possible to like both equally. I watched whole old cartoon during last summer and fall, and came to the conclusion that I've over grown it.

*That Matt Guy* · 05-23-2003, 12:24 PM

I like the original, but it is not anime!

**Barkworm** · 05-23-2003, 12:26 PM

When I was a kid TMNT was always my favourite cartoon show but nowadays I have totally lost interest in it. I still enjoy other old cartoons I watched like Transformers, MOTU and Bucky O'Hare but if I watch one of the old Turtles episodes it's just... well it has a few laughs but that's it. It's a bit sad since I loved the show that much. Anyone else feel the same way (and can say it without bashing)?

Any cartoon made in Japan can be counted as Anime. Last I read it was made in Japan, so it could be Anime.

My favorite would have to be the movies if they count... then the new cartoon, then the old, then the comics (as i've only read 4 total TMNT comics, i can't really judge them too well).
