I'm a huge TNMT fan, and as weird as those are, I feel the sudden need to go watch them...
Also, how dare you bring up Next Mutation! I was happy for not remembering that...that....thing, and then you had to go and bring it up again, WHY?!

I actually have that Michelangelo armored figure somewhere. I got it way back when because it was Micky (my favorite at the time) combining with a metal spider, I never knew it was actually rare.
This is true. It did start out as a manga in Japan, then made its way to US shores as an animated series, then went back to Japan, to get animated.Chrono212 said:MovieBob said:
Oh yeah! ^^
OT: If anything, this anime is an interesting 'remix' of Eastern themes through a Western filter (as in the TMNT being an American IP about ninjas) then this Western/Eastern mix filtered back through an Eastern point of view.
Kinda makes it Eastern/Western/Eastern mix.
Heh, I remember hearing about this from a few other places online...
I dunno, I thought the armors looked kinda neat, personally. And does anyone else but me think Dragonn-Shredder looks cool?
...Anyone?

Sorry, but I have to respond to Bob's "Just go with it," with an equally classic phrase, "I would prefer not to," (Bartleby the Scrivener). No. No more Japanese remakes of American things but with giant robots. No more adorable animals who fight, talk, get brain hemorrhages instead of boners or fall down when a bad joke happens. No more people without noses or remotely varied skin tone. No. More. Anime.
Not until they actually do something markedly different.

I gotta admit, I was always curious about this, but was afraid to search for it. The idea of the TMNT being turned into some heinous anime version of themselves that pointlessly made them transform and fuse into a giant robot was just too much. And I love anime!
Thanks, Bob! I think my curiosity is sated.

Didn't Cracked do a video about that? And mine was always Donatello since you brought it up. I guess if you're torn, it means you have attributes of both, but neither in large amounts. Then again, I don't think any of the turtles were so dissimilar to make that an odd or impossible scenario.Camaranth said:
No, Moviebob. I cannot "just go with it". I have gone with it many times with you before, but this is just... I don't know, surely you of all people would encourage pieces of film and television to employ a goddamn script editor.
