Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2015 TV series)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2015 TV series) is an American animated television series, mainly set in New York City. It is a loose mix between 1987, 2003, and 2012 TV series. Much like 2003 TV series, the four Turtles' personalities are in some ways in an attempt to follow the IDW comics versions of the characters more closely. All characters are more complex individuals, and the Turtles have a stronger family bond. The series is credited for its relatively dark feel of the 2003 TV series with several elements also taken from the 1987 TV series that was airing at the time, such as Krang, Traag, Granitor, the Rock Soldiers, Bebop and Rocksteady. The show does feature nearly as few slapstick comedy or heavy puns as its animated predecessor. Leonardo and Raphael often make fights, Michelangelo is such a party dude, and Donatello seems to study his inventions more closely. The series covers a large scope of the Turtles' adventures taking them from the sewers, to the streets of New York City, to the woodlands of rural New Hampshire, to outer space, to Dimension X, to the future, and ultimately home once more. The first several seasons focus on the Turtles' battles against The Shredder and The Foot as well as the Purple Dragons, while the later seasons branch out to include other antagonists. During the adventure, the Turtles are attacked by various enemies ranging from space aliens to mystical entities.
