Shredder's back, and this time there is to be no quarter given!.......2006-04-17

In this incredible two-part episode, the turtles are caught completely off their guard by their most powerful enemy, the Shredder. I guess the guy doesn't take getting a water tower knocked on top of him very lightly, huh? This is why I love the new series so much. We see the turtles fighting for their lives in this incarnation. And they don't always win the day either, as seen in part two.
The only reason I enjoyed Tales of Leo was because of the story line dealing with Shredder and Baxter. This poor mad scientist has taken enough from Saki, and he's finally putting a plan in motion to get revenge. Its also interesting that Shredder doesn't suspect the turtles of surviving the attack. Great set up for the next few episodes!

The begining of the best of the series.......2005-11-28

Vol.6 and 7 in my opinion is the pinnacle of this whole series. The first episode the King is a waste of time and I won't bother reviewing that episode. However the Shredder Strikes 1 and 2 are off the meter. Everyone assumes the Shredder is dead and the foot are beaten. Until Leo goes for a training run and is ambushed. Unlike the ninjas of old, Leo is being pummeled by the Shredder Elite, his deadliest ninjas by far. Desperately fighting on the run Leo is eventually beaten half to death. And his swords were destroyed.
Part 2 picks up where the action left with the foot on a massive offensive against the turtles that results in a non stop action packed episode from start to finish. Shredder is the victor and the turtles are dealt their most devastating lost and are forced to leave the city.
Next episode is Tales of Leo. Splinter and the turtles are trying to revive Leo from the brink of death by reliving his past to try and bring him back.
Anyone who seen the actual movie will notice the reanactment with this story as well. But I have to say this version is better. The turtles were beaten by formidable opponents. Not scrawny dudes in mask. Out of the whole series, this and vol.7 are recommended if your fans of the turtles or are just looking for something different.

Shredder Strikes Back review.......2004-02-25

Although this DVD did NOT have any special features different from the ones on previous DVDs, it has what I think are some of the best episodes released so far. The alternative ending for "Kirby" was more of an ending than the TV version, if that makes any sense. Although the 2-part "Shredder Strikes Back" episodes are somewhat violent, and at times even morbid (esp. pt 1), the excellent humor makes the fighting and tension less tedious, while not distracting us from the main plot. And just when things are looking really grim for our heroes, another ray of hope for them is another cheer from the crowd. (i.e. Casey "crashes the party"). And I've noticed--perhaps it's only a coincidence--that when the episode is particularly crucial to the story arc, the animation is better than usual. Watch "The Shredder Strikes Back: pts. 1+2", and you'll see what i mean; there is much more detail, fluid movement, and creativity in the action sequences, making the episodes more captivating and fun to watch. The one exception on this disk, animation-wise, is "Tales of Leo". Because the 2 preceding episodes were so carefully animated, the difference in this episode almost turned me off when i saw the quality. It wasn't bad; in fact, it was quite normal. But it's like on a CD, when there are a lot of GREAT songs, but the "finale" song is only "okay". But I did like how "Tales of Leo" went into some of the turtles' past, while showing what was happening between Stockman and Shredder.
All in all, I found this DVD highly enjoyable, and, except for "Notes From the Underground", the most entertaining yet.

This DVD is pretty great and has a few of the best episodes the show has offered thus far.

And incase for those wondering, yes, it includes the full ending to "The King" :)
