Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Part 2)
Damn... Sorry I haven't been updating this blog for a long while... I've been busy with quite a few things the past few weeks, half of which involves the topic of this post. XD Yeah I know it's so random and such but whatever you say, I say TMNT rocks my socks!!!!!
The TMNT 2003 series is sooooo awesome it's officially my top 3 favorite animated series in the world, the other two being One Piece and Slam Dunk. In fact, I love it SOOO much, I even bought my first original DVD ever (the TMNT CGI movie), and in Japanese!! All because I wannna listen to them in Japanese dub!! <3333 Of course, the dub can't beat the original English voices (it's originally American after all), but it's still really fun and interesting to listen to.
   
Anyway, since I've been sooo engrossed with the turtles, here's my inevitable rant on them~ A note for those who're familiar with them - you may find repeated information you already know. (The turtles below are listed in order of most favorite to least, but to be fair, I like them all.)
 Raphael
Hotheaded, impatient, brash and impulsive, Raph is prolly the #1 favorite among fangirls. (Judging on the search results at DeviantArt) LOL. He's the kind who follows the way of "fight first, think later" and is quick to attack anything before the others can even stop him. He is very strong and skilled, but his temper often gets the better of himself, distracting and keeping him from his potential sometimes, which is something Mikey loves to tease him about. Raph is sarcastic about a lot of things and may sometimes sound cold to his brothers, especially Leo, but like a classic tsundere he is highly protective of them that if an enemy so much as scratches them, he'd be the first to kick the shell out of 'em. XD Several times when Mikey got injured Raph would be the one holding him up telling him to hang in there... tho' Mikey usually ends with a slap in the back of his head cos' he's just fakin' it. XD Some think that Raph's rough relationship with Leo is cos' he wants to be the leader, but the way I see it they conflict with each other only becos' Raph acts on impulse while Leo acts on rationale, and Raph does not like being told what to and what not to do. But just cos' he doesn't like being instructed doesn't mean he likes instructing others on a daily basis. =3
   
 Michelangelo
The fun and loud party surfer dude. Loves pizza, comics books, super heroes and horror movies, especially those with no story and shitloads of gore. LOL. Then again, he's in fact very afraid of creepy stuff and would be the first to bail out, hide and shrieeeeek like a girl. Thanks to his hyperactive and playful nature, his inability to shut up, curiosity and carelessness often annoy his brothers, who say that his only talent is to be annoying. LOL. Speaking of talents, Mikey is highly adept at skateboarding while his brothers choose to go with the bicycle (Don), scooter (Leo) and roller blades (Raph). He acts big and shows off here and there sometimes (especially to Raph), but when a challenge truly appears his inconfidence shows and he'd tend to avoid it altogether unless he has no choice, which is usually the case. =P. Mikey also loves to do impersonations of famous people and characters, and keeps a ginger cat he calls Klunk.
   
 Donatello
The patient, calm and analytic techno-geek and genius of the four. Seriously, what can the team do without him??? Donnie's the one who built their shell cells (cellphone), battle shell (car), submarine, modified stolen helicopter, home security system, personal computer, TVs and a gazillion other flying and fancy gadgets. He's not a doctor but each time someone gets sick or hurt, he's the one to take care of them. When it's time for an enemy territory invasion Donnie's the dude to hack into their systems (with April's assistance). When an enemy is locked in a seemingly impenetrable cage he's the turtle who blows up the door. o__o.... With all the daily training and random missions to save people and the world, it's the 8th world wonder how he gets any time to work and build all the above techno stuff, and alone (excluding ocassional help from Leatherhead). Having the patience of a saint, Donnie is prolly the only turtle who has entirely no conflict with the others.
   
 Leonardo
The responsible and 'perfect' leader. He practices and follows the code of bushido religiously and follows their master's every word, hence referred to as Splinter's "favorite son", and labeled "Splinter Junior" and "O' fearless one" by Raph. XD. As leader, Leo strives hard keep the team safe and ready for any challenge or war that may come ahead, but it proves tough when you have brothers like Raph and Mikey. Regardless, Leo is one to immediately take up all responsibility for any mistake, especially if anyone of them (or an ally) is hurt. While travelling through other worlds and dimensions, Leo finds a friendship with a rabbit samurai called Miyamoto Usagi, both of who value honor as much as life itself.
