Japanese Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

April 26th, 2010 | Author: andy | Filed under: Bizarre, Culture, Video | 1 Comment »

If you break down the formula of any successful Japanese anime, you essentially have the following (in no particular order):

1. Swords and/or Supernatural powers
2. Robots
3. Even bigger robots
4. Catchy opening and ending song
5. Transformation of some sorts
6. Boobs

So what do you do when the Japanese got hold of the license to remake/revise the ever popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? That’s right, they added some giant robots, super powers and take this shit to the next level. It’s like they said “Pizza loving mutated turtles that studied ninjutsu with a rat in the sewers? That’s not good enough! We need more dragons! A Phoenix armour! A crab turtle thing! A homage to the white power ranger turtle! Shredder that transforms into a mecha dragon! Flying turtles!”

So as the subtitle in the video says “What you see here is the result”. It may be heartbreaking for the TMNT purists, but you gotta admit that it’s strangely appealing.
