Tonights episode was the best yet. I absolutely love this show.

Here are my 2 cents:
-The Anime flavor, I don't mind. Anime and Manga-type stuff has only gained in popularity over the years, and that's only to be expected: It's fun, it's expressive, it looks cool, etc. I myself am a fan of American Manga like Gold Digger and Ninja High School, and Jackie Chan Adventures (an anime-type series) is one of my favorite cartoons.
I honestly prefer american-made anime-styled shows over original japanese shows that were badly dubbed (4Kids, this is aimed at you
)
-The Animated Universe containing Animated Batman Animated Superman, JLA and the like, I prefer to think of as "Ultimate DC done right". They take classic characters, scrub off years of continuity, keep essential elements of personality, then add some modern popculture and pop them into a modern-day setting. They've saved the basic elements of the original Titans (Raven's Angst, Starfire's Innocence, Beast Boy's comic attitude and Cyborg's Anger) and gave them modern spins.
-I don't mind that Deathstroke is only called "Slade" in the cartoon. Some of the most bad-ass villains in cartoons and comics are known by a simple, short name: Doom; Kang; Luthor; Aku... I also like how he's more manipulative and organised, a master villain rather then just a mercenary.
So far, Teen Titans looks good and fun to me.

Click on "Reserves" at the very bottom of the left-hand menu.
Woo-hoo, Stone Boy! Deserving of the title "Most Useless Hero in the Known Universe" -- unless you needed a self-aware battering-ram.
Although Color Kid prolly truly deserves that one; "Hey, I can turn the bad guy green!"
And Bouncing Boy -- how'd he snag a hottie like Triplicate Girl/Duo Damsel? I swear that must have been a fat lonely geek comic-writer's fantasy that he decided to make "real".
*sniff* Just re-read the listing for Chemical King; the first Legionaire whom I saw die...unless you count Proty. Fare thee well, dude...
Ooo, Laurel Kent has a great costume...

Another great show. So much fun. None of the other DC cartoons were ever this good.

I might be misremembering things, but didn't Aqualad at one point early one say that Triton was able to duplicate himself? If so, why was he shocked that there was more than one Triton?
An okay episode. Not as good as Raven's mind, but better than earlier ones. Though I wish they would have explained why Triton looked the way he did (not like the humanoid Atlanteans). Also, I was a bit thrown by the title "Deep Six". I was expecting Darkseid's underwater team.
I'm hoping Deep Six makes it over to Justice League. I love those guys.

Aqualad simply said Trident seemed to have gained the ability to be several places at once. It was not until later they discovered he was actually duplicating himself.
Oh, and last weeks episode with the Raven and Starfire interaction was definitely the best thus far. I really love the way that episode is done. Raven is my absolute favorite character so far.
