If your talking to me someperson then I don't; the only part I remember is the "teenage mutant ninja turtles" one.

Actually looked up the lyrics, never could remember them all.

Oh well the old TMNT still rock.

I wrote:It's amazing that you remember some of the lyrics from the old TMNT theme song.

But anyways, it matters not.

It really makes me wonder what the creators of the TMNT anime were thinking.

It really makes me wonder what the creators of the TMNT anime were thinking.

Um...let's make an anime now because later the 80's loving anime otaku will gobble it up?
Who knows? Maybe they wanted to make TMNT since it wasn't an anime original.
"Let's turn this american turd/hit into something worthwhile"

Whatever the reason they'll definitely reap the benefits in time.

I doubt the guys who made the anime were serious about it -- the way it plays out, it's almost like a parody of every other action anime I've seen, and then of course you've got the characters commenting on the stupidity of what's going on. And like I said in the article, I definitely recommend getting it, especially if you're a fan of TMNT and/or anime. I found my copy on eBay.

And I joined the board so I could download this music video, but apparently I have to wait two weeks to do that. Because I am poor.

To those of you who read the review, glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for visiting Scary-Crayon!

That is...disturbing, to say the least.

But, at least they have Rocksteady and Bebop. They are cool...I think I might still have their toys around here somewhere...

I once again remind you guys, The Super Turtles you see in the Anime were also in the American series, and it's not just some crazy Japanese idea.... I dunno about the Turtle Saint though.

If you're wondering the era, it was somewhere around the 5th season (1995, or 1996, I don't remember) and you can look that up in the episode summaries on ninjaturtles.com

Well Wes!, Japanese people take anything seriously. They can seriously have fun; anime parody's included.
Look at Excel Saga:
they make fun of anime in general, all anime genres and Japanese customs/way of life.

No reverence whatsoever and yet it’s still a stylized effort.

Someday I'll own the TMNT OVA no matter how scary people think it is.

I just have to wonder what Eastman & Laird (the TMNT creators) thought when they saw this.l
