Did you forget what kind of very conditional TMNT fan I am? :) TMNT may not always necessarily be just for adults (teenagers can read it too), but it should never have been for little kids in the first place. I'm kind of a Mirage/IDW audience purist when it comes to that, and I on rare occasion get into works targeting younger audiences (like the 2012 TV series, at least for a little while) if it successfully overlaps with my interests.

But TMNT has its own decades-accumulated baggage when it comes to target audiences, reputation and brand recognition&mdash;I wouldn't necessarily say the same about Usagi, whose delvings into children's entertainment have been done far more sparingly over the years, managing to avoid most of the hyper-kiddification and kitschy merchandising that has befallen TMNT over that same time. So if Stan Sakai really thinks this new show is a good idea for his creation and he gives his stamp to it, then we can see where it goes.
