I can't stand to watch the old show anymore than I allready have, the art for the old one isn't terrible, but the deigns and voices in the new show are just so much better. So while I can't stand to watch the origional, the reboot has practically become my favorite show, and my third favorite thing overall. I love all the rebooted characters, they are all unique and lovable, whereas in the old one Glomgold felt like a grumpy Scrooge clone, and all the triplets were too identical. And Webby was just annoying. Reboot Webby is my favorite character of all time. They did a beyond amazing job on the Reboot, the artstyle is nice too. Even being rushed it still managed to have a great ending, though there are a few things they still never got to tie up.

I'm actually very fond of the designs in the old maybe cause I tend to find those older looking shows visually appealing. Maybe its just nostalgia; however, I do feel that on average the shading and depth to a character were more flushed out in the original. The animation was a little more static in some way and I would argue the new show had better animation itself not to say I think the original was badly animated not by a long shot. I just tend to be a bigger fan of smooth animation over higher detailed characters.

I think we can all agree original Webby was annoying even the triplets treated her as such. Sort of wish we got more nods to the triplets being able to sync though like they did in the original. I think the new takes on them being unique is great and I wouldn't change that if I could, but felt they over sold it and abandon the idea they can be similar at times too. Which given they are triplets who were basically raised together all their lives I would consider that to be just as significant as their differences. Maybe that is just me though.

Couldn't agree more that they did an great job with the reboot though as I do prefer it over the original. Really wish we got a full crossover episode though(not just 2 seconds). Lots of fun could have been had with that idea.

One little thing I forgot to mention is while the reboot animation I would argue is overall an upgrade its use of flash animation on certain parts was a little over abused. Which imo made it worse at those times. Guess in some ways that is more of a higher highs with some lower lows. Part of balancing the budget I guess which is understandable. Which in some ways a similar thing could be said about the original's animation as well, but for different reasons of course.

Just thought that was an important note since I don't exactly want to excuse the laziness of some parts and put the whole thing on a pedestal just cause it had some extra buttery smooth scenes as well.

I could probable write a 10 page essay talking about the tip of the iceberg differences (all I'm qualified to talk about since I'm no expert just an enthusiast ) in animation/style and the ups and downs to each. Both had their own advantages! There is a lot to it after all! Its not a one dimensional topic in the slightest. 2d animation is underappreciated imo.

With that being said if we ever do get bonus content or a special of some sort in the future I expect peak animation throughout the whole thing. Get that rise of tmnt team on it! One can only hope that is... lol

Almost replaced gravity falls

It truly saddens me that everyone seems to hate the original series now.
