I love Leo being the leader and the brooding one and love the hot headed Raph. It amazes me how everyone has already forgotten that Raph was considered the leader of the group in the 1990 movie. And it took a bit of time in the 2012 series for Leo (and to an extent Raph) to fully realize the enormity of the role he asked for.

I also agree with Fishface that it was time for it to end too. The series was not getting better season by season and that's why I'm content (at least for the most part) that it's finally over. Well, that and the ever growing ridiculous hiatuses they put us through...although I don't see why the new series wouldn't put us through the same thing now...

As for the series itself, I too have become worried by the designs and the animation itself, especially Splinter (boy does he look bad!) whom I originally said should've proved very interesting since Eric Bauza would be taking him on after a slew of villains from the 2012 series. I know you can't judge a book by its cover but I have seen too many times where the animation and/or designs don't look good, it's indicative of the effort put into the overall quality of the series. I stilll have hope in Ant Ward and Andy Suriano but definitely not as much as I have before. Actually, Raph was only considered the leader in the "T-U-R-T-L-E Power" rap from the credits of the 1990 film, and that was only because Partners in Kryme wasn't familiar with the team's ranking order.
