When I said Leo and Michelangelo are typically my favorite, I meant to say Raph and Mikey. Sorry about that. Did you enjoy the reaction? Do you want to see TMNT reactions here at the React Zone? Sound off in the comments! Thanks, everyone.

For me 2003 and 2012 are by far my favorite they are both a must watch.

As someone whose favorite TMNT is 2003, let me tell you, Shredder didn't only just LOOK like an absolute menace, he WAS. You knew the moment his theme kicked in that SOMEONE was going to end up in a world of hurt.

Ok so…
2003 is probably the Most dark, it’s GOATED
2012 is awesome, the 3D animation is really good (it’s even anime inspired with the expressions they make)
And rise is simply Stunning, the animation is gorgeous, and it’s just a fresh take on the turtles.
I recommend all three honestly, they are all amazing.

2003 & 2012 TMNT are by far the best series 👌

2012 and 2003 are my highest recommendations.

ROTTMNT and TMNT 2012 are ones i HIGHLY recommend! They're both peak AF.

Never realized they put in the Akira slide in the 2003 intro 2:28

TMNT 2003 one my favourite shows

Watch 2003. It's the most faithful while also incorporating new elements. It also has a movie at the end.

I’m addicted to the Rise art style. Some of the elements of it made its way into my own artwork.

2003 and 2012 are like the go to shows, 2003 leads WAY more into the comics then any other and 2012 is basically 2003 and 87' combined.
Either You watch 2003 or 2012 or BOTH those would be great to checkout for sure

2003 is my favorite show must watch and 2012 is my favorite intro such a banger 🎉

2003 is the goat!! With 2012 being a close second. And the ROTTMNT movie was actually really good

I grew up with the 2012 and it’s still my favorite although I do love Rise too

I highly HIGHLY recommend the 2003 series, it’s the only one of the animated adaptations that’s has the largest scope of story arcs and events based solely from the first mirage comics alone.

It’s a great show that still holds up even to this day

The fact that in Rise, the turtles are different species of turtles.
Leonardo: red eared slider
Donatello: spiny soft shell
Raphael: alligator snapping turtle
Michelangelo: ornate box turtle

Trust me on this, it doesn’t happen until later seasons but 2012 is way darker than the rest, especially when shredder shows up, he straight up dominates every scene he’s in.

As someone who has watched all the versions of TMNT can genuinely say that 2003 is the best.  They definitely dug through the comics to create their storylines and and they weren't afraid to take the show to some very dark places.  Don't get me wrong, they still have some light hearted very funny episodes, but the core of the show is a bit more serious.

And Michangelo is always my boy. There is something about the underestimated member of the team showing up, showing out & kicking ass that just makes it so much more delightful, if just because it's unexpected.

I strongly recommend you check out the 2003 series first, 2012 series second,  and then finally Rise of TMNT series. All three are spectacular. Note that the Rise series has a movie, but you'll need to watch the TV series first. Same goes for the 2003 series.
