I'm willing to give the new show a try, despite misgivings about certain things. Mikey's, Raph's, and Don's voice actors seem promising, anway :)

Even if its not as good as previous TMNT cartoons, it could still be entertaining in a mindless way (like Spongbob). If I really don't like it, then there will still be plenty of other TMNT stuff to enjoy:  the 2003 and 2012 series, the 1990 movie. The IDW comics, which I seriously need to read more of. Heck, even the original cartoon and the 2007 movie. I still have a number of misgivings (the more comedic bent, especially for characters like Splinter), but I read some info from that recent toy con that made me feel a little bit better (such as the suggestion that they might "graduate" to their signature weapons). And I found the Origami Ninja thing... interesting. I wonder if they're planning to have something conceptually like a shikigami.

And while I still can't stand Raph or Splinter's designs from what little I've seen, I gotta admit the other Turtles are starting to grow on me, though I still don't like the animation style. So I'm going to valiantly try to be optimistic, and give it a fair shake.

And I am obsessed with the IDW comics. I actually bought them, and I don't buy comics, especially long-running ones. How much of them have you read?
