The 2012 TV series is at least at the same time funny, the animation is great quality, the appearance in the 2012 TV series is realistic, the character's style and designs are creative, inspiring and both realistic and unrealistic, there are creative plots, there are more interspecies romances, I love Michelangelo and Leatherhead's loving band and my favorite characters are at least 2012 Leonardo and still especially 2012 Raphael, but I at same time dislike and complain about the 2012 TV series.

1. I do not like Nickelodeon probably made the Turtles to seem more like real teenager for the first time in the 2012 TV series, although I do not fully see the Turtles really acting like teenagers between 2012 and other incarnations or I do not have full teenage experience, except that at least Michelangelo looks younger. The 2012 Turtles are at least still seriously for and can tackle serious and tough danger and adventure like travel to outer space and saving Earth, in oher incarnations like at least the 2003 and 2014 Turtles seem more like adults and even adults can be still immature, joking, uncertain and can't control their temper.

2. I think the 2012 TV series reminds me and seems dark as the TMNT 2007 CGI movie and even the darkest of all TMNT TV series for me, although at least according to the Turtlepedia wikia page the 2003 TV series is the darkest of all TMNT TV series and I think the 2012 TV series are at the same time a bit too dark and serious for the 2012 Turtles if they really act more like teenagers and April and Casey as teenager than the 2003 Turtles.

3. I especially do not like April who has ruined the whole new TMNT 2012 TV series for me, unless I watching non-April O'Neil focusing episodes. Don't like 2012 April O'Neil and others as a teenagers (except Miwa/Karai still seems like an adult), as a fighter and especially when she's still just a teenager to become a fighter to go on danger and adventure like the Turtles, become independence stubborn to join in danger and adventure as April tries to be independent and proves she's as skilled as the Turtles even though she's a girl and not even a mutant turtle too, can already beat other who bigger and muscular than her, even before April knew she had telepathy and telekines superpowers, don't like to be damsel in distress anymore and even rudely ungrateful when she gets rescued after she started training fighting skills. Like when April hit on Donatello's head instead of let him catch her, rudely said "protect yourself " and "nice catch Donnie" to Donatello, rudely sarcastically said "Oh, great. Saved by Raph" when Raphael tried once to save her and especially already could even beat Raphael who is just the physical strongest of the Turtles. I liked April first in season 1 before after she started training to become a ninja too, then she seemed less independence, stubborn, rude and didn't mind to be damsel in distress as it was same for her to be a fighter or not, even though I in a way become used to it when she become fully educated kunoichi since she atleast become less rude as she was first in season 1. I usually do not like normal human female and/or children characters as fighters, although April at least is kind a superhuman who has telepathy and telekinesis powers which she didn't even know first before after she anyway started training to become a fighter too and at least and rarely a fighter in the 2003 incarnation, I especially had liked April better as and didn't mind if she was a fighter too even though she's a girl if she at least become a mutant turtle too as I hoped she would in the 2012 TV series and then at least Apriltello would happened and hope she will be a mutant turtle too in the future TV series.
