Seems like a few people missed the point of this video, so I'm just gonna clear things up now. RISE OF THE TMNT HAS AMAZING ANIMATION, and this edit's meant to be a response to the claim that it doesn't. hope that clears things up no more stupid comments please, thanks
i think the problem is that most people conflate "bad art style" with "bad animation". i can understand if you dont like the way the show looks (art style), but it is objectively wrong to say it has bad animation.
Right? The same studio did another visually like Rise, lego monkey kid, it has alot of the same energy and comedic timing as rise id say and the action scenes are amazing as well
Unfortunately Rise is one of those shows where it was publicly dislike for trying things differently. Which is ridiculous considering people liked the 1980s show which is more kid appealing then this show will ever be. Therfore leading people to neglect the really great aspects that Rise really did have to offer. Thankfully we have the movie now which is now critically and publicly liked, while amplifying what the show offered 10x in every aspect.
Honestly, I was never much of a TMNT fan until this came out. Something about the animation, relationships, aesthetics, and goofiness just really brought out what TMNT was missing. Splinter I believe has improved the most, since in this version, he is both a father and a sensei.
You wanna know why people seem to love the original serie and hate rottmnt? It's because of a power that can be a blessing and a curse. Nostalgia. Most people saw the 80's ninja turtles as a kid, and let's be honest here, a kid can be relatively pretty fucking dumb and like everything without having a proper and defined opinion on it. Nowadays, if those fans watched the series again this nostalgia power would probably fade out after a season or two and then they'll probably give a second chance to rottmnt, admit it is not that bad, even pretty good. Or maybe they'll just stay stuck in their childhood, refusing to let go of that idolized past they had, and telling that rottmnt sucks for no fucking reason. If you don't like rottmnt, it's fine, just don't hate it because it's different from what you saw before.
@@TheOddMan1997 exactly. I at first wasn't a fan of Rise because of the nostalgia of the 2012 version, but now after re-watching both I can say that Rise is far superior under many aspects. I like the fact that they decided to change a few of the characters' traits, like Splinter not being very present and a parental figure that you know it's there but almost never interacts with his kids. He cares about them but at the same time sort of neglects them too and I think it also makes it more realistic
I watched the movie on Netflix but I don't know where to watch the show ;-; So if one of y'all can tell me thank you so much! Edit:I'm able to watch it now! So know need to ask or reply to this. But thanks to everyone who suggested things
I love 2012 tmnt But the choreography,the dynamic poses the angles THE EVERYTHING FROM THIS SHOW IS AMAZING I think the animation alone is what makes this one adaptation stand out from the rest of the series and kinda made a pedestal for itself to be almost a different series as a whole Edit:This is supposed to be a positive comment I don't know why people are assuming I hate 2012 I do not,what made you think that? I'm Frankly quite annoyed cause I never said 2012 is bad,2012 is good it's just that imo rise just does the animation better. Let me praise rise for what it does right,cause they deserve the goddamn praise.
@@ikkaku699 2012 has to do this cause 2012 while it has a good story the choreography in the show is not exactly the best.There are some good fight scenes like raph vs casey,but aside from that most of the fight scenes are kinda eh.ROTTMNT properly choreographed the animations, there's so much energy and impact with how they move it's just amazing.I'm not saying 2012 is bad,i'm sure the reason why the animation is not as good probably has something to do with budget.But Rise on the other hand just stands out to me
If you don’t like ROTTMNT, that's fine. People are allowed to not like things. You don't have to find imaginary reasons to dislike something. It's okay if you don't like the art style, but that's entirely separate from the animation. The animation is objectively beautiful. That being said, if you're someone who never watched this show purely because it was so different from other iterations, please, PLEASE give this show a chance.
I dont think the artstyle is separate from the animation here. It really wouldn't work with any other artstyle and its a 2d cartoon so they were animated together
I like that Rise incorporated a lot of old-school cartoon logic that can be found in things such as looney toons. Climbing up a ladder in mid-air, or altering a facial expression to be more off-model are some things I really like about this show that makes it both hilarious and expressive.
Not to be pretentious, but I’m in my senior year of college after studying Art/Animation for about 5 years. And I will tell you right now that this animation is by no means bad. It may not be your personal preference, which is valid, but it isn’t bad. This is honestly some of the most dynamic and expressive animation I’ve seen in a TV cartoon in a long time. And the character designs, while different from the original designs by quite a lot, fit the characters’ personalities, add a creative spin on them by basing them off of specific turtle breeds, and create distinctions between them apart from just the color of their masks or very slight skin color variations. Like…if you want to look at it from a purely technical standpoint it checks all the boxes. 1. Fluid expressive animation - yes 2. Easily readable art style - yes 3. Character designs that tell something about who a character is and are simple enough to be easily animated but also complex enough to be appealing to look at - yes
Thank you for acknowledging that people can have opinions on animation too. Perception differs from person to person, right? Personally, I can see it's obviously really good animation because of course it is, but there are certain choices in animation that are also up to one's preference and I don't necessarily like some of the stylistic choices in this show. Example: the transitions in fast movements (such as flips) where the character is supposed to look like a blob/ball/whatever deformed shape fits are kind of too obvious (I haven't checked but maybe it's just that the exposition is slightly too long? or it could be the spacing being so far in between that it doesn't work as an illusion anymore) which creates an unnatural effect that in my opinion looks unflattering in martial art scenes. Another example: to me, some of the action scenes are hard to follow at times, a little too fast (some of the spacing is pretty wild, making the movement less legible than I would like) and flashy. All of this is purely subjective, therefore people may have different opinions on this subject. That being said, let me reiterate that I don't think the animation is bad at all, it's just that the style doesn't always fit what I think a show about ninjas (or any martial artists) should look like. I suppose overall it goes pretty well with this art style though and also character acting is very expressive which is nice and, again, works well with this fun, cartoony style.
people need to learn the difference between animation and art style. if you don't like the art style then that's fine, it's completely subjective. but animation is pretty objective and this animation is awesome
I have to disagree with your claim that animation is objective. Personally, I can see it's obviously really good animation because of course it is, but there are certain choices in animation that are also up to one's preference and I don't necessarily like some of the stylistic choices in this show. Example: the transitions in fast movements (such as flips) where the character is supposed to look like a blob/ball/whatever deformed shape fits are kind of too obvious (I haven't checked but maybe it's just that the exposition is slightly too long? or it could be the spacing being so far in between that it doesn't work as an illusion anymore) which creates an unnatural effect that in my opinion looks unflattering in martial art scenes.

@@M_JackOfAllTrades I think what you are saying is valid but I do think animation can be objective. There can be things you prefer to see but that's just style. The objective thing is how fluid and readable movement, facial expressions are.
@@Ramera3 I just said that the movement is not always easily readable to me, but other than that, sure. I'd argue that the objective side of animation is similar to the objective side of art and it's related to realizm, to things looking real and natural. Everything that is stylized and experimental is a matter of taste.
@@M_JackOfAllTrades I personally disagree with the realism but I understand where you're coming from. For me it can only be objective if it's realistic doesn't make much sense to me.
The 2012 tmnt will always have a special place in my heart but I adore rise and how the over the top, comic book style fights are animated, it's something that the 2012 version just didn't really have
This is what happens when people don't understand the difference between animation and character design. They likely mean "this show has bad character design" (which I whole heartedly disagree with). These designs provide personality into the characters. No other iteration does good with this. The closest we got was raph having rips in his mask and a crack on his shell. And Mikey having large blue eyes and freckles to represent his youth and purity. Tha's the closest we've got. This iteration expresses the characters through their character designs alone.
@@highdefinition450 seriously tho, I literally can’t tell the difference when people draw the other iterations and don’t use colors. With the rise boys they can all be dressed exactly the same with no weapons and it’s still clear who’s who.
Bro… This is by far my favorite Re-make of Ninja Turtles I love the Og and all, but in every frame Theres a PERSONALITY, sure not all facts are correct, but thats whats fun about it! Every character has a fun entertaining personality, villains are great and enjoyable, animation is top-tier Almost Anime-like, and the voice acting is… so. good. Not to mention the story is Continuing and they reference a past episode later on (LOVE IT WHEN THEY DO THAT) so yes… so very Sad they discontinued it
It's only paused actually!! Rumor around the block says if the movie does well enough, they'll pick it back up, and guess what, the movie was nominated for an award (forgot which one)!!!!! Nickelodeon can't ignore this. 85% chance we're getting a third season :DDD
I grew up with the original '87 turtles, and loved the '03 turtles, but Rise became my favorite very quickly. There is so much passion, creativity, and talent crammed into this show that it's hardly even believable. The vitriol of Rise's initial reception was and still is heartbreaking. Everyone has their personal tastes, but anyone who says this show's animation is bad is just objectively wrong. This is some of the best, if not THE best western action animation ever put to screen.
Yeah, I was once part of that, but I regret ever hating on Rise. Has my favorite iteration of Donnie, and no one can tell me that these 4 don’t act like real teenagers. They feel like a real family, flaws and all having to deal with and work out the family dynamic of a single-parent household.❤❤❤
Talk about it. The 1980s version was literally just a glorified toy commercial that cut corners every chance it got, & the characters had virtually no expression to speak of. (Don't get me wrong: Rise does cut corners here & there. But it doesn't do so nearly as much as the 1980s version.) The people hating on Rise's animation are just salty because they wish the '80s Turtles could have been half as expressive.
@@archibald_dw litterally- like i grew up with the 2012 version.... but personally i like all versions.... but i can say Rise was definatly a breath of fresh air... mostly because they did things differently while still doinf it enough for it to make sense.... and im glad that it a wasnt the same lore and trope like everyother iteration
@@archibald_dw that is the worst thing about rise hater and they hate on things rise done that the other shows have done but since they like it the shows gets a pass.
@@archibald_dw this is exactly why rise got axed. it was more than just a toy commercial which is all nick, disney, and all the other major players in animation want. people weren’t watching it for the toys, so they “didn’t sell” and nick pulled the plug.
Honestly in my humble opinion Rise has some of the most well animated and choreographed fight/action scenes in all of animation _period,_ even rivaling or straight up _besting_ a lot of animes.
This is the first Tmnt Series that lured me into the fandom! And you know how it managed that? RIGHT, the animation is beautiful. We don't get enough 2D Anination Cartoons these days.
Yall are talking about the animation, and yeah it is amazing, no questions asked, but what about the editing???? Sock Drawer, your editing skills are out of this world! You managed to get most of the hits and motions in the animation timed along with the music, like for example the train scenes and the literal first clip in the video. Oh, and the transitions!! Words cannot describe how fluent the animation combined with this editing is and I am in LOVE with it! Great video, great points, and again, great editing!
As a long time fan of TMNT I feel like Rise is probably one of the better interpretations, albeit they swapped Leo and Raph since in the series Raph is the leader but it makes sense in that version as Raph is the oldest and one of the most responsible (More or less not including Donnie). In the series, Raph doesn’t have anger issues or at least aren’t as bad. He shows genuine love for them all and he overall seems like a good pick for leader in this iteration. Leo taking a more careless fun role yet also still getting to be the main character is different from most other versions as usually he is depicted as the more responsible one of the group as well as being the oldest. It’s nice to see the series flips this and takes a new route. Donnie. Yeah, He’s still himself. Maybe a little more confident than other versions but it definitely feels like him. Now Mikey, he didn’t change much. He’s still the youngest, loves pizza and is always the more light-hearted one. One thing I love about Mikey in rise is Doctor Delicate touch. I find it hilarious how he acts like an angel but when Doctor Delicate Touch arrive he isn’t holding back on giving you the raw and hurtful truth. Casey’s lore is a little changed, I can’t remember this very well but if I remember correctly, at least in the 2012 version, He always knew the turtles, in rise he doesn’t come in till the movie, after being sent back in time by future Mikey, he had to stop the Krang to save everyone. Now, I haven’t finished the series yet but from what happened in the movie I suppose he was left in that timeline, so, yeah- April O Neil. Yeah, she’s a lot more badass in Rise, I love her as a character and she’s just all around epic. Splinter is different as well, you kinda start hating him but he grows on you the more you watch the show. I love Rise and the new take it has on TMNT and their family dynamic.
The show was critiqued really badly because it came out at a bad time. It was right before and during the pandemic, and everyone was in a shit mood. Nothing was doing well during the pandemic, it's just that this show unfortunately took a hard hit from the virus. The show also came way too soon after the end of the beloved 2012 series, which ended a year before that. I agree though, the animation is STELLAR and the character designs are off the damn charts. I love it so much! :D❤
Also the character design is top notch imo. Their looks fit their personalities way better than any other version of the turtles, that and you can actually separate them on something other color or what weapon they’re holding.
i don’t know how anyone could call this “bad.” the animation is so exciting and expressive, and the colours are gorgeous. my eyes were glued to the screen the whole video, definitely gonna watch this!
When I first started watching the show 4 years ago (has it really been that long? Jesus I feel old), I was skeptical about the changes they made, but it slowly grew on me, and now ROTTMNT is one of my favorite shows. The animation, the expressiveness, the humor, the character development, the overarching plot, is all just *chefs kiss*. I really hope that we get a season 3!
I would link this video to every person that says that the animation is horrible. In fact, I think this animation is on par with anime animation. And I'm saying that's a good thing! ROTTMNT animation is literally Western anime. I'm not even talking about just the animation. The battle scenes are top tier amazing! If I ever meet the storyboard and artists for this show, I'm gonna shake their hands!
@@AlonzoTompkins Wait. Is that true?! I know one of the artists for ROTTMNT is an anime fan because they added a couple jojo references in one of the episodes. So, I was thinking it was one of the main reason.
Anime animation is often really bad lmao, it's mostly still frames with a mouth that's barely synced to what they're saying. The animes with great animation are outliers, not the norm
@@highdefinition450 i think they’re more so referring to when it’s all action and no dialogue. Still, respect to Japanese animators. They’re treated horribly considering that anime assumedly raked in billions for their economy
While I admit, I do love the 2012 and 2003 version, Rise was still shockingly solid. I remember watching the first episode and actually getting a laugh from it, so I decided to check out the rest. While I personally prefer other variations of Leo and Splinter specifically, they still work really well and Leo had some amazing lines. If there's ever another series, I hope it combines a couple elements from rise and the classics. And like everyone else is saying, THESE SCENES HAVE NO REASON BEING SO GOOD BUT I LOVE IT.
I mean, I can tell they use “cheats” that are a little more obvious than other shows but they use those cheats to their advantage in their style. The first few episodes were a little more choppy, but after that I think it melded better. GREAT Animation isn’t cheap or easy, so it’s interesting when companies find an appealing way to get around it.
@@aniisammy not smear frames. Like I noticed in the early episodes they would hold a lot of key poses for characters for fast movement. It’s less fluid, but barely noticeable because the animation is so fast. I’m not condoning it, just something I noticed.
Another example is in mystic library when characters were taken away by the bats they would just be in a frozen position with just lip flap animation, and bobbing the image like a flash animation. Though I think that was done for comedy and it made me laugh
@@phlpcockrell also man, I missed your comment for ages. Like aniissami said, smear frames are essential and make animation more fluid. In 3-D they use an effect called motion blur which has a similar effect. I actually find myself slowing down clips on UA-cam to really capture some movement. There are lots of moments where animation is reused for a sequence or characters holding key poses, designs super simplified from distance or perspective shots, or there is possibly some 3-D rigging with the images. But the animation is so fast, you don’t really pick up on it, or rather you aren’t supposed to. Animation works like an optical illusion, you are supposed to see these images moving so quickly and vividly, they look like they are alive. Animation teams, especially for tv work have insanely crunched working hours so they have to make everything work. They can’t take the same amount of time for super fluid movement like movies (the rottmnt movie is so smooth by comparison) but still want to sell you the illusion of living characters. The series also has a lot of anime influence, not just by the references but some of the way the characters move as well. Cheats aren’t bad if supplemented with other factors, and in tv departments they are needed.
I'm glad we've all established that ROTTMNT has some of the BEST animation out there (like omg???) but like- the editing also makes this SO fun to watch!!! The time taken to match the moves up with the beat must've been a lot and I congratulate you for that - now I have a reason to actually watch every episode instead of the character moment comps on YT. TY for putting so much effort into finding all these scenes
Really wish that I never shrugged this series off tbh. I never hated it or thought it was bad per say, I was just a fan of the 2012 and 2012 only so I thought I wouldn't like it nearly as much and I had a bunch of other series on my watchlist. People said the movie was good, so I decided to watch the series first and OH MY GOD. I love the turtle's personalities? I love that they're so visually distinct??? I love how instead of starting at the baseline of what we expect their personalities to be, they slowly evolve into the turtles we expect! While still never losing their charm. Leo apparently is seen to have to be the responsible stoic type so having him be a realistic kid whos annoying and giving him more flaws like his massive ego and laziness is peak character writing! Having Leo become Leader so suddenly and randomly forces him to own up to more responsibility and see things from Raph's point of view and how it pays off in the movie is just *chefs kiss* Raph changed SO MUCH from the 2012 version (and what people expect of him ig) But making him his own character because of the different circumstances he's been placed within the brother dynamic is kinda amazing. Of course the older brother to these chaos children would end up feeling like he needed to be so responsible and almost like a mother hen. His Hotheaded nature rears it's head in the movie too, fighting with Leo about how he leads. EXCEPT WE ACTUALLY FEEL FOR HIM? AND IT DOESNT COME OFF AS ANNOYING BECAUSE RAPH IS RIGHT? Unfortunately I have less to say about Mikey and Donny, but that's not a bad thing. They really leveled out into their ultimate forms I think. Both of them are insanely hilarious and hilariously insane. Donnie is by far my fav, but that is just not even an original take. Mikey is like the ultimate mikey, here for a good time but still the heart of their team. (when raph isn't trying to steal that title at least lmao.) Sorry for rambling I am just so in love with this series it's crazy how its already surpassed 2012. (in my freshly cut onion at least.) I really hope nick doesn't let this die because idiots like me didn't give it a fair chance.
Absolutely amazing job matching the clips to the music!!! really gets the point across of how bombastic & punchy the animation always is, even in the moments where they go for smoother motions. (That freaking combo move with Mikey & Donnie in the train always gets me )🧡💜
The animation is so well done and so appealing to me... I was skeptical about a remake so soon after 2012. But I actually really, really love this reboot. The animation style actually suits me better than 2012, even though 2012 has always been my favorite for being my childhood.
This show inspires all my work. I love how fast and hard the animation is. And that 0:41, there were, like, ZERO in-betweens! It looks so good, I can’t stop obsessing over it!
In some instances, the only reason people dislike anything about this iteration of the show is because they haven't actually watched the show itself before, and I feel like this video with the title alone might be another one of those instances
OH MY ACRUAL GOSH IT’S BEAUTIFUL Plus, I love the way the art is simple yet also difficult to animate it in such a way, which is why we GOTTA leave these dudes some credit ✨
Rottmnt is a little gem and visual marvel and the fact that they added more personality to the turtles and April, made me enjoy this version and the 2003 one more than others.
I didn't even know people were saying that! first thing I noticed was how awesome the animation was along with the amazing work by the VA's. people are crazy
If anyone ever said that they were lying and they knew it Becuse man Rottmnt has some of the SMOOTHEST animation I've seen since 2018 and the character desings are at ther peak becuse here you can easily see the diffrence between them without ther masks while with other versions it woud take me at least a minute to figure out who it who Can we all be honest the only reason why the show get's hate is becuse it's not exacly like 2012, becuse it changed some things and becuse it's not edgy 200% of the time I understand there are a couple of episodes I personaly didn't like but 2 or 3 episodes won't destroy a whole show Also the amount of people I've seen that are upset over the fact ralph is not a straight up an abuser in this series is upsetting (I accualy saw someone say "Man why isn't this ralph hitting his mikey anymore it used to be so funny" Like ????)
When animation goes crazy in many action series I feel like a lot of fighting technique is lost in characters. Its really incredible that they kept the actions fresh!
My God, when I discovered this show by chance, I WAS AMAZED and, until now I'M STILL AMAZED. From someone that has tried animation, the only thing that I can say is... I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY MANAGE TO DO THAT MASTERPIECE
It's not just that the animation is amazing, either; the fight choreography is interesting and imaginative in a way that compliments it perfectly. It's hard to make *that* many fight scenes look so good and so different from one another. A lot of talent and hard work goes into this show, and it pays off in a major way that's abundantly obvious to anyone who's actually watched it.
I heard somewhere people hated the character designs, I personally adore them, it gives so much more character other than the color of their bandanas. This is my own opinion, don’t attack me if you have another one
The fight with the ladder and fish fight was my favourite ep. I absolutely loved the fighting. Another favourite if mine from this ep is the whole musical in ref to Modern Major General.
My sister (who I realized grew up with 03 and not 12 like I thought) when I showed her and my dad the first episode where at least quiet during the whole thing, but she said “I couldn’t watch past the first 5 seconds” and “something something teen titans go all over again” and I was like 😢 Like someone else said, it’s fine if you don’t like the story but it’s just so well animated that you have to acknowledge it. ❤ the boys are my current hyperfixation and I’m so glad I found out about them even though it’s been painful sometimes….*cough-LFLS-cough*
The animation isn't bad, people who say that don't actually know what they're talking about (or just use a poor choice of words), what they really mean is "I don't like the art style" which is a bit different. I've never watched this show, and I think the art style is weird, but it's not "bad" it's just different. It's one of those things that takes some getting used to, it's different and so people often start off skeptical, but given time you get used to it. Watching this video, I can clearly see that the animation is really well-done and impressive. It may not be the style I was expecting but that doesn't make it bad.
THIS IS SHOW IS CRITICALLY UNDERRATED AND NEEDS MORE PEOPLE! ( i honestly think were getting are wish granted by more people joining the fandom) BUT LIKE- AT THE SAME TIME I DONT WANT MORE PEOPLE CUZ ITS ALREADY A LIL WILD ITSELF. And heck, im scared that the fandom might get infected by creeps 😭.
Yes, it does. It looks like it’s 24 fps, more than the version that was actually 24 fps lol. Anyone calling this animation great must be an anime fan, where stilted animation is beloved for some odd reason.
24 frames per second is the standard. And the quality of animation is not only in the number of frames. Most of the action scenes from this series are natural sakuga
I remember my friend telling me I shouldn't watch it because as bad animation and when I finally did watch it I asked him "are we watching the same show?"
This is actually the version of Ninja turtles I first encountered and I fell in love with it. It has great animation and very expressive movements that made me love it enough.
I instantly fell in love with the animation, I think these guys are big fans of Gainax and Studio Trigger. The animation studios who did Gurren Lagann, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia and Space Patrol Luluco.
Despite having no investment in the franchise, I got into this show because of the animation alone. I have _never_ seen 2D animation that is so consistently comfortable with using forced perspective, even for things like grabbing a slice of pizza. It's actually insane.
Seems like a few people missed the point of this video, so I'm just gonna clear things up now.
RISE OF THE TMNT HAS AMAZING ANIMATION, and this edit's meant to be a response to the claim that it doesn't.
hope that clears things up no more stupid comments please, thanks
I'd also like to say, just because *you've* never seen something happen, doesn't mean that said thing *doesn't* happen. Shocking, I know!
i think the problem is that most people conflate "bad art style" with "bad animation". i can understand if you dont like the way the show looks (art style), but it is objectively wrong to say it has bad animation.
By animation people mean artstyle. And it is shit
@@aeolian951 once again, style is subjective. Just cause you don't like it doesn't make it automatically bad
What’s the music in the background?
This show literally has the most consistently awesome animation of ANY other cartoon I’ve seen in the past 5 years who is calling it bad
Hehe, what can I say... Flying Bark Productions. 😎
Same studio made Lego Monkey Kid- I recommend
Right? The same studio did another visually like Rise, lego monkey kid, it has alot of the same energy and comedic timing as rise id say and the action scenes are amazing as well
At first I disliked rise
But even l never said that the animation is bad
"Who is calling it bad?" Answer: People who wouldn't know STYLE if it jumped out of a hole in the ground and kicked them in the dick.
I'm not much of a Ninja Turtles person, but... The character animation in Rise is WAY more expressive than other iterations.
No cap straight up
You're lying 🤥
Yup completely agree
Nick money
Nah nah 2012 was the best one
Unfortunately Rise is one of those shows where it was publicly dislike for trying things differently. Which is ridiculous considering people liked the 1980s show which is more kid appealing then this show will ever be. Therfore leading people to neglect the really great aspects that Rise really did have to offer.
Thankfully we have the movie now which is now critically and publicly liked, while amplifying what the show offered 10x in every aspect.
Honestly, I was never much of a TMNT fan until this came out. Something about the animation, relationships, aesthetics, and goofiness just really brought out what TMNT was missing. Splinter I believe has improved the most, since in this version, he is both a father and a sensei.
You wanna know why people seem to love the original serie and hate rottmnt? It's because of a power that can be a blessing and a curse. Nostalgia. Most people saw the 80's ninja turtles as a kid, and let's be honest here, a kid can be relatively pretty fucking dumb and like everything without having a proper and defined opinion on it. Nowadays, if those fans watched the series again this nostalgia power would probably fade out after a season or two and then they'll probably give a second chance to rottmnt, admit it is not that bad, even pretty good. Or maybe they'll just stay stuck in their childhood, refusing to let go of that idolized past they had, and telling that rottmnt sucks for no fucking reason. If you don't like rottmnt, it's fine, just don't hate it because it's different from what you saw before.
@@PinaaaColaaa Same here! Sad that this show got hated on so much by people who didn't even give it a fair shot.
@@TheOddMan1997 exactly. I at first wasn't a fan of Rise because of the nostalgia of the 2012 version, but now after re-watching both I can say that Rise is far superior under many aspects.

I regret that I hated rottmnt.
As someone currently majoring in animation and game art in college, this show has incredible animation.

I love 2012 tmnt
But the choreography,the dynamic poses the angles THE EVERYTHING FROM THIS SHOW IS AMAZING
I think the animation alone is what makes this one adaptation stand out from the rest of the series and kinda made a pedestal for itself to be almost a different series as a whole
Edit:This is supposed to be a positive comment I don't know why people are assuming I hate 2012
I do not,what made you think that?
I'm Frankly quite annoyed cause I never said 2012 is bad,2012 is good it's just that imo rise just does the animation better.
Let me praise rise for what it does right,cause they deserve the goddamn praise.
wat does 2012 gotta do with this
@@ikkaku699 2012 has to do this cause 2012 while it has a good story the choreography in the show is not exactly the best.There are some good fight scenes like raph vs casey,but aside from that most of the fight scenes are kinda eh.ROTTMNT properly choreographed the animations, there's so much energy and impact with how they move it's just amazing.I'm not saying 2012 is bad,i'm sure the reason why the animation is not as good probably has something to do with budget.But Rise on the other hand just stands out to me

If you don’t like ROTTMNT, that's fine. People are allowed to not like things. You don't have to find imaginary reasons to dislike something. It's okay if you don't like the art style, but that's entirely separate from the animation. The animation is objectively beautiful.
That being said, if you're someone who never watched this show purely because it was so different from other iterations, please, PLEASE give this show a chance.
I dont think the artstyle is separate from the animation here. It really wouldn't work with any other artstyle and its a 2d cartoon so they were animated together
@@DimT670 art style is different from animation because its just how everything is meant to be designed
Next time dont try using the words "objectively" and "beautiful" in tandem
The movie was spectacular, phenomenal even
And Leo said “ass”! And there was blood!
I like that Rise incorporated a lot of old-school cartoon logic that can be found in things such as looney toons. Climbing up a ladder in mid-air, or altering a facial expression to be more off-model are some things I really like about this show that makes it both hilarious and expressive.
This is one of the best edits I've seen that sync so well with the music! Great props to you man for finding the right clips for your choice of music
I hope to God these animators were paid well for the art they produce.
They were most likely overworked and underpaid, as most animators are haha
Not to be pretentious, but I’m in my senior year of college after studying Art/Animation for about 5 years. And I will tell you right now that this animation is by no means bad. It may not be your personal preference, which is valid, but it isn’t bad.
This is honestly some of the most dynamic and expressive animation I’ve seen in a TV cartoon in a long time.
And the character designs, while different from the original designs by quite a lot, fit the characters’ personalities, add a creative spin on them by basing them off of specific turtle breeds, and create distinctions between them apart from just the color of their masks or very slight skin color variations.
Like…if you want to look at it from a purely technical standpoint it checks all the boxes.
1. Fluid expressive animation - yes
2. Easily readable art style - yes
3. Character designs that tell something about who a character is and are simple enough to be easily animated but also complex enough to be appealing to look at - yes
Thank you for acknowledging that people can have opinions on animation too. Perception differs from person to person, right?
Personally, I can see it's obviously really good animation because of course it is, but there are certain choices in animation that are also up to one's preference and I don't necessarily like some of the stylistic choices in this show.
Example: the transitions in fast movements (such as flips) where the character is supposed to look like a blob/ball/whatever deformed shape fits are kind of too obvious (I haven't checked but maybe it's just that the exposition is slightly too long? or it could be the spacing being so far in between that it doesn't work as an illusion anymore) which creates an unnatural effect that in my opinion looks unflattering in martial art scenes.
Another example: to me, some of the action scenes are hard to follow at times, a little too fast (some of the spacing is pretty wild, making the movement less legible than I would like) and flashy. All of this is purely subjective, therefore people may have different opinions on this subject.
That being said, let me reiterate that I don't think the animation is bad at all, it's just that the style doesn't always fit what I think a show about ninjas (or any martial artists) should look like. I suppose overall it goes pretty well with this art style though and also character acting is very expressive which is nice and, again, works well with this fun, cartoony style.
Rise animation is gorgeous!!
people need to learn the difference between animation and art style. if you don't like the art style then that's fine, it's completely subjective. but animation is pretty objective and this animation is awesome
I have to disagree with your claim that animation is objective.

Animation is not 'objective' tho lol
@@M_JackOfAllTrades I think what you are saying is valid but I do think animation can be objective. There can be things you prefer to see but that's just style. The objective thing is how fluid and readable movement, facial expressions are.
@@Ramera3 I just said that the movement is not always easily readable to me, but other than that, sure. I'd argue that the objective side of animation is similar to the objective side of art and it's related to realizm, to things looking real and natural. Everything that is stylized and experimental is a matter of taste.
@@M_JackOfAllTrades I personally disagree with the realism but I understand where you're coming from. For me it can only be objective if it's realistic doesn't make much sense to me.
The 2012 tmnt will always have a special place in my heart but I adore rise and how the over the top, comic book style fights are animated, it's something that the 2012 version just didn't really have
cuz some shows don't need to be over the top to be good
Bro- have you seen Mikey in the later seasons of 2012? I’m just saying, their fights are crazy unique when you actually look at them
@@T_E_G true but 2018 is more cartoony so it has more animation stuff
@@tobsonasanya4765 Yeah that makes sense
I feel like the fights just translate better in 2d even tho the 2012 fights are sick
This is what happens when people don't understand the difference between animation and character design. They likely mean "this show has bad character design" (which I whole heartedly disagree with). These designs provide personality into the characters. No other iteration does good with this. The closest we got was raph having rips in his mask and a crack on his shell. And Mikey having large blue eyes and freckles to represent his youth and purity. Tha's the closest we've got. This iteration expresses the characters through their character designs alone.
I disagree with the others haven't done good with this but this designs are good for the most part
Even if they dislike the designs, at least they're not just the same turtle with a different mask lmao
@@highdefinition450 seriously tho, I literally can’t tell the difference when people draw the other iterations and don’t use colors. With the rise boys they can all be dressed exactly the same with no weapons and it’s still clear who’s who.
Bro… This is by far my favorite Re-make of Ninja Turtles
I love the Og and all, but in every frame Theres a PERSONALITY, sure not all facts are correct, but thats whats fun about it! Every character has a fun entertaining personality, villains are great and enjoyable, animation is top-tier Almost Anime-like, and the voice acting is… so. good. Not to mention the story is Continuing and they reference a past episode later on (LOVE IT WHEN THEY DO THAT) so yes… so very Sad they discontinued it
It's only paused actually!! Rumor around the block says if the movie does well enough, they'll pick it back up, and guess what, the movie was nominated for an award (forgot which one)!!!!! Nickelodeon can't ignore this. 85% chance we're getting a third season :DDD
I grew up with the original '87 turtles, and loved the '03 turtles, but Rise became my favorite very quickly. There is so much passion, creativity, and talent crammed into this show that it's hardly even believable. The vitriol of Rise's initial reception was and still is heartbreaking. Everyone has their personal tastes, but anyone who says this show's animation is bad is just objectively wrong. This is some of the best, if not THE best western action animation ever put to screen.
Yeah, I was once part of that, but I regret ever hating on Rise. Has my favorite iteration of Donnie, and no one can tell me that these 4 don’t act like real teenagers. They feel like a real family, flaws and all having to deal with and work out the family dynamic of a single-parent household.❤❤❤
what do you mean- damn them haters just jealous because their iterations didn't have this quality 😂
Talk about it. The 1980s version was literally just a glorified toy commercial that cut corners every chance it got, & the characters had virtually no expression to speak of. (Don't get me wrong: Rise does cut corners here & there. But it doesn't do so nearly as much as the 1980s version.) The people hating on Rise's animation are just salty because they wish the '80s Turtles could have been half as expressive.
@@archibald_dw litterally- like i grew up with the 2012 version.... but personally i like all versions....
but i can say Rise was definatly a breath of fresh air... mostly because they did things differently while still doinf it enough for it to make sense....

@@archibald_dw that is the worst thing about rise hater and they hate on things rise done that the other shows have done but since they like it the shows gets a pass.
@@archibald_dw this is exactly why rise got axed. it was more than just a toy commercial which is all nick, disney, and all the other major players in animation want. people weren’t watching it for the toys, so they “didn’t sell” and nick pulled the plug.
@@archibald_dw i mean it was the 89s animation chnages
Just wait until they see the movie’s animation lol
Honestly in my humble opinion Rise has some of the most well animated and choreographed fight/action scenes in all of animation _period,_ even rivaling or straight up _besting_ a lot of animes.
This is the first Tmnt Series that lured me into the fandom! And you know how it managed that? RIGHT, the animation is beautiful.
We don't get enough 2D Anination Cartoons these days.
Lol there are plenty 2d cartoons these days
Dude. Who the HECK is saying that?? The animation for Rise is so beautiful makes me want to cry.
Yall are talking about the animation, and yeah it is amazing, no questions asked, but what about the editing???? Sock Drawer, your editing skills are out of this world! You managed to get most of the hits and motions in the animation timed along with the music, like for example the train scenes and the literal first clip in the video. Oh, and the transitions!! Words cannot describe how fluent the animation combined with this editing is and I am in LOVE with it! Great video, great points, and again, great editing!
This show has had the BEST animation I've seen in a loooooong time
FR
As a long time fan of TMNT I feel like Rise is probably one of the better interpretations, albeit they swapped Leo and Raph since in the series Raph is the leader but it makes sense in that version as Raph is the oldest and one of the most responsible (More or less not including Donnie).
In the series, Raph doesn’t have anger issues or at least aren’t as bad. He shows genuine love for them all and he overall seems like a good pick for leader in this iteration.
Leo taking a more careless fun role yet also still getting to be the main character is different from most other versions as usually he is depicted as the more responsible one of the group as well as being the oldest. It’s nice to see the series flips this and takes a new route.
Donnie. Yeah, He’s still himself. Maybe a little more confident than other versions but it definitely feels like him.
Now Mikey, he didn’t change much. He’s still the youngest, loves pizza and is always the more light-hearted one. One thing I love about Mikey in rise is Doctor Delicate touch. I find it hilarious how he acts like an angel but when Doctor Delicate Touch arrive he isn’t holding back on giving you the raw and hurtful truth.
Casey’s lore is a little changed, I can’t remember this very well but if I remember correctly, at least in the 2012 version, He always knew the turtles, in rise he doesn’t come in till the movie, after being sent back in time by future Mikey, he had to stop the Krang to save everyone. Now, I haven’t finished the series yet but from what happened in the movie I suppose he was left in that timeline, so, yeah-
April O Neil. Yeah, she’s a lot more badass in Rise, I love her as a character and she’s just all around epic.
Splinter is different as well, you kinda start hating him but he grows on you the more you watch the show.
I love Rise and the new take it has on TMNT and their family dynamic.
The show was critiqued really badly because it came out at a bad time. It was right before and during the pandemic, and everyone was in a shit mood. Nothing was doing well during the pandemic, it's just that this show unfortunately took a hard hit from the virus. The show also came way too soon after the end of the beloved 2012 series, which ended a year before that.
I agree though, the animation is STELLAR and the character designs are off the damn charts. I love it so much! :D❤
This is both a testament to this show's animation AND the power of perfectly timed edits
I found out about it this year and never felt more in love. Finding out people hated this when it aired is a crime
People can crap on the show being too different or too comedic but if anyone says the ANIMATION is bad, You are the most blind individual of all time.
Also the character design is top notch imo. Their looks fit their personalities way better than any other version of the turtles, that and you can actually separate them on something other color or what weapon they’re holding.
i don’t know how anyone could call this “bad.” the animation is so exciting and expressive, and the colours are gorgeous. my eyes were glued to the screen the whole video, definitely gonna watch this!
When I first started watching the show 4 years ago (has it really been that long? Jesus I feel old), I was skeptical about the changes they made, but it slowly grew on me, and now ROTTMNT is one of my favorite shows. The animation, the expressiveness, the humor, the character development, the overarching plot, is all just *chefs kiss*. I really hope that we get a season 3!
I would link this video to every person that says that the animation is horrible. In fact, I think this animation is on par with anime animation. And I'm saying that's a good thing! ROTTMNT animation is literally Western anime. I'm not even talking about just the animation. The battle scenes are top tier amazing! If I ever meet the storyboard and artists for this show, I'm gonna shake their hands!
I mean, some of the fight scenes were done by anime studios. Or was it just Trigger? I honestly don’t remember.
@@AlonzoTompkins Wait. Is that true?! I know one of the artists for ROTTMNT is an anime fan because they added a couple jojo references in one of the episodes. So, I was thinking it was one of the main reason.
@@AlonzoTompkins it was animated by flying bark in australia
Anime animation is often really bad lmao, it's mostly still frames with a mouth that's barely synced to what they're saying. The animes with great animation are outliers, not the norm
@@highdefinition450 i think they’re more so referring to when it’s all action and no dialogue. Still, respect to Japanese animators. They’re treated horribly considering that anime assumedly raked in billions for their economy
While I admit, I do love the 2012 and 2003 version, Rise was still shockingly solid. I remember watching the first episode and actually getting a laugh from it, so I decided to check out the rest. While I personally prefer other variations of Leo and Splinter specifically, they still work really well and Leo had some amazing lines. If there's ever another series, I hope it combines a couple elements from rise and the classics. And like everyone else is saying, THESE SCENES HAVE NO REASON BEING SO GOOD BUT I LOVE IT.
I mean, I can tell they use “cheats” that are a little more obvious than other shows but they use those cheats to their advantage in their style. The first few episodes were a little more choppy, but after that I think it melded better. GREAT Animation isn’t cheap or easy, so it’s interesting when companies find an appealing way to get around it.
Cheats? Like them turning into a ball sonic-style instead of doing flips?
are you talking about smear frames? they're in no way 'cheats.' its a genuine foundation of animation thats just more prevalent in 2d than 3d
@@aniisammy not smear frames. Like I noticed in the early episodes they would hold a lot of key poses for characters for fast movement. It’s less fluid, but barely noticeable because the animation is so fast. I’m not condoning it, just something I noticed.
Another example is in mystic library when characters were taken away by the bats they would just be in a frozen position with just lip flap animation, and bobbing the image like a flash animation. Though I think that was done for comedy and it made me laugh
@@phlpcockrell also man, I missed your comment for ages.
Like aniissami said, smear frames are essential and make animation more fluid. In 3-D they use an effect called motion blur which has a similar effect.
I actually find myself slowing down clips on UA-cam to really capture some movement. There are lots of moments where animation is reused for a sequence or characters holding key poses, designs super simplified from distance or perspective shots, or there is possibly some 3-D rigging with the images. But the animation is so fast, you don’t really pick up on it, or rather you aren’t supposed to.
Animation works like an optical illusion, you are supposed to see these images moving so quickly and vividly, they look like they are alive. Animation teams, especially for tv work have insanely crunched working hours so they have to make everything work. They can’t take the same amount of time for super fluid movement like movies (the rottmnt movie is so smooth by comparison) but still want to sell you the illusion of living characters.
The series also has a lot of anime influence, not just by the references but some of the way the characters move as well.
Cheats aren’t bad if supplemented with other factors, and in tv departments they are needed.
I'm glad we've all established that ROTTMNT has some of the BEST animation out there (like omg???) but like- the editing also makes this SO fun to watch!!! The time taken to match the moves up with the beat must've been a lot and I congratulate you for that - now I have a reason to actually watch every episode instead of the character moment comps on YT. TY for putting so much effort into finding all these scenes
Really wish that I never shrugged this series off tbh. I never hated it or thought it was bad per say, I was just a fan of the 2012 and 2012 only so I thought I wouldn't like it nearly as much and I had a bunch of other series on my watchlist. People said the movie was good, so I decided to watch the series first and OH MY GOD.
I love the turtle's personalities? I love that they're so visually distinct??? I love how instead of starting at the baseline of what we expect their personalities to be, they slowly evolve into the turtles we expect! While still never losing their charm. Leo apparently is seen to have to be the responsible stoic type so having him be a realistic kid whos annoying and giving him more flaws like his massive ego and laziness is peak character writing! Having Leo become Leader so suddenly and randomly forces him to own up to more responsibility and see things from Raph's point of view and how it pays off in the movie is just *chefs kiss* Raph changed SO MUCH from the 2012 version (and what people expect of him ig) But making him his own character because of the different circumstances he's been placed within the brother dynamic is kinda amazing. Of course the older brother to these chaos children would end up feeling like he needed to be so responsible and almost like a mother hen. His Hotheaded nature rears it's head in the movie too, fighting with Leo about how he leads. EXCEPT WE ACTUALLY FEEL FOR HIM? AND IT DOESNT COME OFF AS ANNOYING BECAUSE RAPH IS RIGHT? Unfortunately I have less to say about Mikey and Donny, but that's not a bad thing. They really leveled out into their ultimate forms I think. Both of them are insanely hilarious and hilariously insane. Donnie is by far my fav, but that is just not even an original take. Mikey is like the ultimate mikey, here for a good time but still the heart of their team. (when raph isn't trying to steal that title at least lmao.)
Sorry for rambling I am just so in love with this series it's crazy how its already surpassed 2012. (in my freshly cut onion at least.) I really hope nick doesn't let this die because idiots like me didn't give it a fair chance.
Absolutely amazing job matching the clips to the music!!! really gets the point across of how bombastic & punchy the animation always is, even in the moments where they go for smoother motions. (That freaking combo move with Mikey & Donnie in the train always gets me )🧡💜
I would like to have a VERY personal chat with the person who said this, mostly about their capability to use their EYES. /j
That ladder fight scene is one of the most creative fight scenes I have seen in a while.
Lots of people confuse art style with animation. And even then Rise’s art style is great.
The animation is so well done and so appealing to me... I was skeptical about a remake so soon after 2012. But I actually really, really love this reboot. The animation style actually suits me better than 2012, even though 2012 has always been my favorite for being my childhood.
I love that every incarnation of the Turtles has better animation & character design than it’s predecessor.
Leo's judgemental pout in the thumbnail is just 👌🏽
go off King! 😭 💕💕
This show inspires all my work. I love how fast and hard the animation is. And that 0:41, there were, like, ZERO in-betweens! It looks so good, I can’t stop obsessing over it!
So true. #SaveROTTMNT #UnpauseROTTMNT
I wish you showed the scene where shredder was going after the fireworks
In some instances, the only reason people dislike anything about this iteration of the show is because they haven't actually watched the show itself before, and I feel like this video with the title alone might be another one of those instances
OH MY ACRUAL GOSH IT’S BEAUTIFUL
Plus, I love the way the art is simple yet also difficult to animate it in such a way, which is why we GOTTA leave these dudes some credit ✨
Hell... Donnie's use of the Bo staff are REAL MOVES, not just random what looks good!
Rottmnt is a little gem and visual marvel and the fact that they added more personality to the turtles and April, made me enjoy this version and the 2003 one more than others.
0:45 just that second alone is so goofy and I love it.
Donnie’s Ladder fight gave Jackie Chan vibes such a creative fight
I didn't even know people were saying that! first thing I noticed was how awesome the animation was along with the amazing work by the VA's. people are crazy
If anyone ever said that they were lying and they knew it
Becuse man Rottmnt has some of the SMOOTHEST animation I've seen since 2018 and the character desings are at ther peak becuse here you can easily see the diffrence between them without ther masks while with other versions it woud take me at least a minute to figure out who it who
Can we all be honest the only reason why the show get's hate is becuse it's not exacly like 2012, becuse it changed some things and becuse it's not edgy 200% of the time
I understand there are a couple of episodes I personaly didn't like but 2 or 3 episodes won't destroy a whole show
Also the amount of people I've seen that are upset over the fact ralph is not a straight up an abuser in this series is upsetting (I accualy saw someone say "Man why isn't this ralph hitting his mikey anymore it used to be so funny" Like ????)
he was not an abuser lol

THE FUCKING ART STYLE OF THAT SHOW IS JUST A CHEF'S KISS
I know everyone is talking about the animation but the editing on this is slick, nice work
THIS VIDEO NEEDS TO BE LONGER.
PLEASE DO A COMPILATION OF ALL SMOOTH ANIMATION MOMENTS FROM THIS SHOW AND IT'S MOVIE
I've literally only seen clips of this show, but the animation brings so much life and personality into each character.
When animation goes crazy in many action series I feel like a lot of fighting technique is lost in characters. Its really incredible that they kept the actions fresh!
My God, when I discovered this show by chance, I WAS AMAZED and, until now I'M STILL AMAZED.
From someone that has tried animation, the only thing that I can say is... I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY MANAGE TO DO THAT MASTERPIECE
It's not just that the animation is amazing, either; the fight choreography is interesting and imaginative in a way that compliments it perfectly. It's hard to make *that* many fight scenes look so good and so different from one another. A lot of talent and hard work goes into this show, and it pays off in a major way that's abundantly obvious to anyone who's actually watched it.
0:37-0:47 The animation on Donnie here is like something out of a pink jacket Lupin III episode. Hilarious animation and poses here.
Hi
The Jet Set Radio music makes this even better.
If there's one thing Flying Bark Productions does best, it's animating.
I heard somewhere people hated the character designs, I personally adore them, it gives so much more character other than the color of their bandanas.
This is my own opinion, don’t attack me if you have another one
The fight with the ladder and fish fight was my favourite ep. I absolutely loved the fighting. Another favourite if mine from this ep is the whole musical in ref to Modern Major General.
SNEAKMAN IS PERFECT FOR THIS OH MY GOD!!💕💕💕😭
Rise is visually the best tmnt in general
LITERALLY HOW IS THIS BAD ANIMATION, THIS IS AWESOME
The Jet Set Radio music goes great with the artstyle
0:40 This fight is one of my favorites
Whoever said that never actually watch the show
nah this animation FLAWLESS and I am willing to throw hands for it 😤
My sister (who I realized grew up with 03 and not 12 like I thought) when I showed her and my dad the first episode where at least quiet during the whole thing, but she said “I couldn’t watch past the first 5 seconds” and “something something teen titans go all over again” and I was like 😢
Like someone else said, it’s fine if you don’t like the story but it’s just so well animated that you have to acknowledge it. ❤ the boys are my current hyperfixation and I’m so glad I found out about them even though it’s been painful sometimes….*cough-LFLS-cough*
The animation, the perspective and angles, the colores ad literally everything else is outstanding???
The animation isn't bad, people who say that don't actually know what they're talking about (or just use a poor choice of words), what they really mean is "I don't like the art style" which is a bit different. I've never watched this show, and I think the art style is weird, but it's not "bad" it's just different. It's one of those things that takes some getting used to, it's different and so people often start off skeptical, but given time you get used to it.
Watching this video, I can clearly see that the animation is really well-done and impressive. It may not be the style I was expecting but that doesn't make it bad.
I still think Rise of the TMNT is better then the TMNT 2012.

That final segment is extremely fun.

For anyone wondering the song is “Sneakman” by Hideki Naganuma
I definitely like this better than bean smiles and inconsistent character scale.
(Cough*Thundercatsroar*cough)
Yes, it does. It looks like it’s 24 fps, more than the version that was actually 24 fps lol. Anyone calling this animation great must be an anime fan, where stilted animation is beloved for some odd reason.
24 frames per second is the standard. And the quality of animation is not only in the number of frames. Most of the action scenes from this series are natural sakuga
Your funny.
You should be on twitter.
Nice to see Donnie defy the laws of physics with that last ladder trick😌😂
LITERALLY SOME OF MY FAV ANIMATION
I remember my friend telling me I shouldn't watch it because as bad animation and when I finally did watch it I asked him "are we watching the same show?"
It’s why rise is my favorite. From the character designs to the animation it’s all so well done.
This is actually the version of Ninja turtles I first encountered and I fell in love with it. It has great animation and very expressive movements that made me love it enough.
People who don’t understand animation are the only ones who think that this show has any bad animation.
That Donatello sequence where he was air climbing and walking was dope
As an animator I’m FROTHING AT THE MOUTH.
I instantly fell in love with the animation, I think these guys are big fans of Gainax and Studio Trigger.
The animation studios who did Gurren Lagann, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia and Space Patrol Luluco.
Despite having no investment in the franchise, I got into this show because of the animation alone.
I have _never_ seen 2D animation that is so consistently comfortable with using forced perspective, even for things like grabbing a slice of pizza. It's actually insane.
Never was a tmnt fan , but THE CHARACTERS are so lovable and funnn! I love the design here much better
It kinda has the same appeal as Ben Ten or Sonic
SO glad u included the ladder one w Donnie, i was actually amazed at that part x)
