At first i never thought i'd ever watch the show, it seemed to immature but them one day i decided to give it a chance and watch it, bro, the animation and the small little jokes, is a chefs kiss, i love this show, much support for the franchise 100/10. To all the other people willing to watch something new i definitely recommend this show, also idk what else to put on this review, no spoilers of course, literally i'm just chillin, OMG I COULF RANT HOW MUCH I LOVE DONNIE LMAO, he's so cool, and raphael is such a goofball, i love them all, donnie is a character i admire a lot, he's awesome lmaoaoaoaoaoa,

I love this show!! The animation, the feel of the movement, the colors, the design and the individuality of the characters, the small jokes that are genuinely funny, it's absolutely amazing! This April is the best, and I love the dynamic between the characters, I love seeing how much Raph cares for his little brothers, and Leo finely getting to kick back a relax for once, all while silently showing how much of an amazing leader he could be, and don't even get me started on Donatello and his tech and him being autistic coded, or Mikey and his mystic powers! Rise of the TMNT shows just how important family and chosen family really is! 10/10! I honestly recommend this series to anyone that wants something new to watch!!

Rise, oh, where to begin?

To begin: the gorgeous animation and the fighting choreography are just amazing, as well as the fresh new take on the turtles' origin story, the worldbuilding and lore, and the cast's characterization, and I say this in 20+ years of being a TMNT fan.

Rise of the TMNT is truly a special, amazing, and inspiring work, made with passion and genuine love for the franchise. The jokes are funny, the characters are lovable, and the designs are original and well-fitting with each character's personality: from Leo's sharp wits and cunning to Raph's unmatched strength. I also love that the turtles are so widely different in species and design, and aren't the same model copied over and over with only slight color changes.

While I agree it starts a little slow, it still introduces hints pointing to a much larger lore and story, creating a world unlike anything we've seen before, yet lovingly and playfully referencing previous iterations.

As a show, it's action-packed yet wholesome, special in its own way. A real treat for all animation fans and would-be creatives. Strongly recommended!
