This show was one pleasant experience, the characters seem much more.. Real then the older versions. And I love it, I really do, they seem more confident with themselves and happier then they'd been in the older ones. Leo is definitely more confident, he's always trying to help build up the team and he's charming, laid back and humorus and I love it! Raph isn't always picking on mikey either (none of them do and it's nice to see), yes he still looks a bit big and bruteish but he's more in touch with his softer side and he's kind, he doesn't always blow up in anger. And Donnie- whew where do I begin? Hes sarcastic and confident, he's got humor and boy is he sassy but I love it! But mikey- I loved his character the most, yes he's still sweet and kind and optimistic, but he isn't clueless, he isn't the 'always getting picked on younger brother,' he's loved and he's artistic and funny, and my god I can't get enough of it. But master splinter- at first I didn't know what to think- but I still loved him, he's still the lovable master splinter we know, and boy oh boy I live this April the most, shes strong and caring, she's hard-working and she doesn't play between donnie and casey- shes a girl I'd aspire to be lol but in general rottmnt is wonderful, and the characters are fantastic.
