woops 10 years late for turtles

Hi, I'm Net, and I'm a TMNT2012 fan who has been told like 1,000,000 times I need to watch TMNT's 2003 rendition. So I'm going to try and overcome the mental scarring 4kids gave me when they dubbed One Piece and watch this show that will probably actually be awesome. No spoilers please, because watching me freak out about things you already know is funny. Favorites So Far Character: Raphael OTP: nope BROTP: Mikey and Raph

Pictured: Mikey holding the blog.  (JK I’m alive. I wanted to start posting video versions of these reactions. I’m getting caught up on those and then the blog will resume regularly.)

Seriously, it’s like the entire art team is passive aggressive about the main characters being pushed into the background by this random character-less girl we’re supposed to feel sorry for, so they give all the humans purple bruise spot things and then give the turtles REALLY COOL POSES

I’d cry too if I wasted time trying to pick a lock only to realize I’m small enough to crawl through the bars.

[fineillwatch2k3]

are those supposed to be bruises

[fineillwatch2k3]

I’m not sure which is better. Leo’s “YIPE!” or this still.

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES IT’S

CONSPICUOUS EARLY 2000S CGI

“I’VE GOT EYES AND EARS ALL OVER THIS TOWN SO I KNOW IT’S YOU” i’m sure the blue anime hair didn’t hurt either

[fineillwatch2k3]

Has anybody noticed they just leave the back door open half the time? I mean, it’s closed in this shot but... sometimes their bloodlust could be heard from the street. Where the heck is the NYPD?

man what an edgelord

[fineillwatch2k3]

What is Scott Summers from Xmen Evolution doing here?!?!?!

[fineillwatch2k3]

....Angel’s voice is just familiar enough from another 4kids property that It’s bugging me, and I’ll probably laugh my butt off when I realize who it is. 

[fineillwatch2k3]

HER NAME IS LITERALLY ANGEL GET IT BECAUSE IT’S IRONIC 

Sounds like this girl has a sucky homelife. 

[fineillwatch2k3]

I love the art style of 2012, but there’s some cool stuff only traditional animation can do. >D

[fineillwatch2k3]

oh good it’s an episode where casey suffers i’m on board already

also unrelated but i’ve been catching up with a lot of anime and seeing something in 3:4 ratio again feels REALLY WEIRD

Episode 8: Fallen Angel

is this gonna be some melodramatically sad episode 

or a “very special episode”

i mean with a title like that
