Summary: The turtles go to new levels
Comment: This was a very entertaining DVD. I watched the old Ninja Turtles when I was younger but these new TMNTs are much better and the story line is much more interesting.

Summary: TMNT meets DBZ
Comment: After TMNT had been on the air for four seasons, ratings were dropping. As good as the show was in season four, it's just a natural occurance. Now, Turtles made so much money in the past and Peter Laird seems to be a pretty modest spender, so instead of cancelling the show it was kept on the air due to it's hefty finacial backing. To try to boost ratings, 4kids wanted them to think out side of the TMNT box and come up with some sort of gimmick, first was this season (which wasn't aired until recently) and after the plug was pulled on it, Fast Forward put the TMNT into the future (and eventually turned out to be a good show).
This show is a pound for pound anime knock-off (so if you're an anime fan, eat it up) and it's really "out there" even when compared to seasons 1 through 4. The main problem is that there are about 15 new characters and hardly any of them are essential to the plot, but still get alot of screen time. The voice actors that provide the voices of the turtles have even stated that this season was boring to record because of a such an extreme decrease in the TMNT's use, I recall atleast a couple episodes in which Donatello only had about 3 lines.
I don't own the disc yet (which has nice cover art), but I've seen all the episodes twice. I'll pick it up someday just to finish my TMNT DVD collection, but for now I can do without the glowing turtles shooting spirit bombs and lighting beams at flying enemies and turning into gigantic dragons.... it's NINJA Turtles people, not Saiyan Turtles.

Summary: Nearly Perfect Package
Comment: This 2-DVD set of the TMNT "Ninja Tribunal" is almost perfect:
PACKAGING:
The packaging is great: good artwork on outside & inside of case and the DVDs. There is only an advertisement as an insert, but the episode info. is listed on the DVD artwork on the inside of the clear DVD case.
STORYLINE:
The whole "Ninja Tribunal" storyline is pretty complex and builds on the TMNT mythos. It starts off kind of slow, but becomes very involved and intriguing as you go along. Overall: good writing.
EPISODE TRANSFER:
The video transfer is decent. It is, after all, a Saturday morning cartoon. If you have to have your cartoons in HD, things have gotten out of hand. My only complaint (and it's a doozy) is that about halfway through the last episode (and at a pretty critical point of the story), a TV rating box inexplicably appears on the top left of the screen, reading "TV Y7 FV". Obviously, this was mistakenly transferred on the DVD. It was pretty annoying, as it distracted me from the story and I paid to have a personal copy of these episodes, not something reminiscent of a slapped-together pirated copy off the net with all of the TV broadcast bugs on it.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
Ummm... Let's see. They must be here somewhere... Nope! Just "sneak peeks". LAME!
OVERALL:
"Ninja Tribunal" is a good total package that is darn near perfect, especially considering the price and the running time.

Summary: Acolytes assemble!!
Comment: Finally the lost episodes in one complete set & for a very fair price at that! Again, stellar animation & a great story that pretty much flows like one long film if you minus the episodes intros & ending credits. If your already familiar with the show & it's cast, there's some huge revelations that come to light & a new batch of characters introduced including the mysterious immortals known as the Ninja Tribunal. They at one point or another played a very faint if not almost specter like presence on some episodes. Plus the return of the equally nefarious mystics who come out in true form & really demonstrate just how powerful they really are. And theres the return of some familiar faces like Nano, Baxter Stockman ( who I absolutely love! He always has the best lines.), & The Justice Force. Besides being more true to the original comics, this is also far more superior to the classic 80's show simply because this is the way the TMNT were meant to be. As much as I enjoyed the classic show, this new season & pretty much all the seasons before that go far beyond just a kids show. The only true downside to this collection is there are ABSOLUTELY no special features. Some sort of behind the scenes featurette on the making of *the ninja tribunal* season would have been a big plus.
