Not fond of the design at all, but it could be an okay show.

Not a real fan of CGI cartoons on TV.
I preferred the 4Kids/FoxBox remake.

Booyakasha isn't a solid replacement for Cowabunga.
And why does Donatello have a gap in his teeth? That seems like a random design choice.

On a related note, the design for April O'Neil looks pretty bad on this new show.

Wow...looks terrible, like an N64 game or something. Not a fan.

I remember people complained about the designs for Transformers Animated when they first saw them and look how that show turned out. I'm willing to give the show a chance.
Also, I think I heard a remix of the 1987 theme.

I'm not a big fan at all of this current art style in animation where everything is angular and characters' limbs are narrow at the top and progressively wider until the hand/foot.
That said, I do love that you can see elements of Teen Titans in there, and it seems to be quite a throwback to the '87 toon.
The new April reminds me of Penny from Inspector Gadget, but at least they've got her in yellow.

Weird hearing Donatello speak with 80s/90s Rapheal's voice.

I will give it a shot because I love the Ninja Turtles franchise, but I really don't like the art style, but I am sure I can eventually get over it. Especially if the show is well done.

I like the designs for April and the Turtles, but Splinter just looks...bad. They ought to just stick with Ken Mitchroney's model from the Archie comic, he drew him perfectly.
The tone feels alright so far, a bit more lighthearted than the 2003 show but perhaps more serious than the 1987 run.

Man, an animated series using the canon and art style of the Archie TMNT series would be AMAZING. Course, that includes things like Hell itself, heroes getting violently gunned down, the presence of Hitler, among other things. On second thought, that may make it even better! |

It sort of looks like they wanted to do a CGI cartoon in the Teen Titans style to me. It's definitely different, but I'll give it a shot.

I like the opening art... but then the PSone era of 3D crept in, and made it look horrible.

As a huge TMNT fan, I fully support this series. The designs could be better, but from a character and presentation standpoint it looks great. It seems from everything I've read on the show that they're trying to create the perfect bridge between the original Mirage comics and the super-popular 1987 cartoon. I hope it does well.
Also, they're using a modern update of the classic theme song. Huge bonus points for that.

Also: Since when is Raphael "The Muscle?" I think something like "The Wise Guy" would be more accurate to his character.

The original incarnation of Raphael was the muscle, and only got changed for the original cartoon to make him more kid-friendly. He's been portrayed as an angry hothead in every other version of the Turtles before and after. |
