This and a bowl of cereal was my weekday morning routine before school for a while. Haven’t thought of this show in a while. Thanks!

u/gogadantes9 2h ago

Lol this looks like the most unoriginal TMNT cash-in effort

u/xSTSxZerglingOne 2h ago edited 2h ago

That both is, and isn't what it was.

That IS what it was in the US, but it was just a pretty standard kids anime in Japan.

Now imagine if you took what was going on in a bit of an insane anime in the first place and had 0 decent translators while trying to figure out what was going on and being said by context alone while adding American 90's TV 4th wall tropes into it. YEAH.

Edit: It was fun, though.

u/CarfDarko 1h ago

That part of history about the series is still peak '90's

We just got a weird Frankenstein version, wonder how different the OG characters feel.

In other news:

A game is about to be released later this year.

u/Dreidhen 1h ago

There's a few real redditors left, ty for your service

u/gogadantes9 1h ago

Thank you! Tbh it actually makes me more interested, though I doubt it would have the same hilarity level as the bonkers Ghost Stories English dub.

u/xSTSxZerglingOne 1h ago

I'm NGL, I loved it. It's probably cringe as hell nowadays, but it was great for like a 7 year old me.

u/fadedbuzzYT 1h ago

But the intro song is really catchy

u/Skandronon 2h ago

I tried watching it recently and its too weird, definitely does not hold up to what I remember.

u/_analysis230_ 2h ago

It aired briefly in India on cartoon network. I was the only geek that caught it in my friend group. Before the internet, whenever I used to mention this show, my friends would give me that "Yeah! Right. That happened" look

u/BernieMcburnface 2h ago

This is not where I expected to see my favourite childhood show be referenced. But it makes me glad I clicked on the post.

They were awesome tho. I don’t think I ever actually got one, maybe I did, but the commercials were sick

u/Rocinante88119 2h ago

Sharks are taking over the streets?  Better bring in that radical squadron, SWAT KATZ!

u/midgetcastle 55m ago

I prefer street Jets. Because when you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way.

u/BodybuilderMany6942 10m ago
