Litten/Torracat/Incineroar was what I was thinking on the Pokemon side.

On the Digimon side...

Out today. I'm not sure about the story behind this. My understanding is that it was a never released (if it was ever even completed) Mirage story. Not sure where it fits into the original continuity. But it's a really nice, classic feeling story.

Edit: Nope. Completely off. The descriptions Amazon gives things can be so weird sometimes. It's reprinting Vol. 4.

I was thinking the other day that a "Technodrome on the Move" episode collection would've sold like hotcakes. It would have had all the episodes where the Technodrome changes location, setting up for the next season: Shredder & Splintered; Return of the Technodrome; The Big Rip-Off, Big Break-In, and Big Blow Out; My Brother, the Bad Guy; Rock Around the Block; Attack of the Neutrinos; Shredder Triumphant; and finally, Turtle Trek (yes I had to look this all up)

To me, most of the actual plot progression of the show happens in these episodes anyway.

Just got back from the TMNT 35th Anniversary showing at my AMC. I wasn't a Turtles kid (aside from Transformers, it was a side of Thundercats), and I'd never actually seen the 1990 movie in its entirety - just chunks of it back when I had SciFi Channel available in college. My only other experiences with the Turtles have been random cartoon episodes here and there back in the day, and the comic crossovers with Usagi Yojimbo.

And as someone who's relatively franchise blind, that was damn good PG Action Movie fun. It shows its age, but the Henson animatronic costumes and puppets were wonderful, all the gloriously goofy Hollywood Ninja tropes, just enough backstory to tape it together...that's a lot to pack into just under 90 minutes! I kinda love how low the stakes are, honestly - the mighty Shredder is running a grab-and-smash gang of disillusioned teenagers, why? Simply because money, presumably! Casey is just some random masked vigilante, no tragic origin required! Why is there radioactive ooze in the sewers of NYC? It's just there to drop turtles in and get the backstory done! Refreshing, really.

The anniversary showing also comes with five or ten minutes of behind-the-scenes stuff, mostly shilling for a crowdfunded documentary, but it was still neat.

I wish we were getting the BTS stuff here.

For real, that's why I was always partial to those.

First, he did a complete retrospective for every season of the 2003 cartoon. Then, he did the same for every season of the 2012 cartoon. And now, J's Reviews has swung back to the aughts with a retrospective for the 2007 movie!

I'll have to check that out. I'm at work at the moment.

I actually really liked the 2007 movie. I mean, I have a bit of a problem in that no matter what character he plays, I never hear the character, I only ever hear Patrick Stewart.

But I absolutely loved the dynamic between Raph and Leo, especially the fight.
