Teen Titans: Your thoughts and mine...

[Nightfall]

Okay I must say that tonight's ep was good. I knew a little of Raven's history (Thank you Google! ) But what I REALLY enjoyed was the Japanese version of the Theme song. Now THAT was cool.

 

[LuYangShih]

Yes. I especially liked Ravens alter egos.

 

[Viking Bastard]

I thoroughly enjoying the cartoon. It's not on the same level as the
other AniDCU cartoons, but not on a lower level as such, but more on
a completely different kind of level.

It's just so much dang fun!

 

[Nightfall]

Yes it is fun. But I also am beggining to enjoy the animesque scenes as well. But the fact they have the theme song sung in Japanese, priceless.

 

[Viking Bastard]

I've never really enjoyed humour in Anime. I'm not gonna say it's bad humour, but rather that I just
don't get it. I just roll my eyes at the attemps to make me laugh in series such as Trigun (a series I
otherwise enjoy very much).

But here it works, because it's western-type humour despite the animesque approach.

 

[Wycen]

I've been watching this in the last couple weeks, well, mostly it was something to have on the tv while I was writing.

I'm not familiar with most DC titles, so the question that came to my mind was, 'Why are these prepubescent kids allowed to act unsupervised? I don't see a single adult. How come Cyborg is using a blaster gun? What is he like 12 years old and everybody is afraid of disarming him?"

That's not to say it isn't entertaining, it's just not quite right in my mind.

 

[Viking Bastard]

They're much older in the comics.

Or at least, they look and act older.

 

[Nightfall]

Yeah they are supposed to be older but not as old as the JLA. Or other teams with people in their early to late 30s.

Viking, that's what I was saying.

 

[Viking Bastard]

Viking, that's what I was saying.

What, the humour thing?

 

[Nightfall]

Uhm yeah. Americanized satire of Japanese anime tropes. Especially more so with the fact they used a Japanese version of the Theme song which was originally an attempt to be satirical about the whole Japanese bouncy intro songs.
