Consider this a review for the entire series...
I haven't watched any of the other ones until I saw this third one. I saw number three, and I had to go back and watch the other ones, because it was Awwwwsome. And I don't mean it in the cliche regular sense that people usually use it in. It left me in a state of awe... Because most of the animations on this site are just plain shit...
The animation was beautifully done... Maybe a little too exaggerateed at times, but even still, it's awesomeness made me not care.
The acting was great. You guys really captured their personalities. The voices were perfect... I don't really know very much about the turtles anymore. I haven't seen or heard anything about them since I was a kid. I'd actually sort of dismissed them as something for kids, and unable to be appreciated by adults, but this made me change my mind.
I'm curious... Seems as if you dropped the "Teenage" from "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." I guess they're grown up now. Master Splinter died? I think it's cool... Because you made a real-life occurance happen to formerly not-so-realistic characters. The fact that they're grownups, and that they have to deal with adult problems --the fact that they are "falling apart," and lack guidance in a world that doesn't have a place for mutant turtles-- was just remarkable to me. I guess that's because you made an unrealistic series FEEL real.
I liked the violence too... It allows you to do so much more... It's hard to be a ninja when you can't show blood or kill. Makes the fights boring. Also, the swearing was good. It seemed so appropriate, even though I don't normally care for it. I love how they can't use the middle finger... It must be frustrating... But it was a cleverly-done gesture.
The evil mutant looked a little funny though... Oh yeah, one last comment before I stop kissing your butt... I didn't think a cartoon character could creep me out, but you did a good job with shredder. The voice acting was great, and the drawings of him were even better. Keep 'em coming...
Also, I love the fact that you actually took the time to write good dialog. It might've seemed a little forced at times, but overall, it was perfect.
