Name: Teen Titans Go!
Format: Flash Animation
Developed by: Michael Jelenic and Aaron Horvath
Number of episodes: 26
Premier: April 23 2013
Teen Titans Go! is a spin off of the classic Teen Titans cartoon, this show has a comical tone, most of action is focused on daily life issues rather than figthing villians and saving the world. The first episode is called Legendary sandwich/pie bros and it's devoted to make the perfect sandwich, so as you can imagine most of the internet fanbase is crying due the lack of continuty with the original series and the lack of consistency with the characters. (oh yes Robin smiles.... smiles with a huge grin) Honestly I think it was ok, but mostly because I'm not a big fan of the original show.
Reviews so far:
Daily News 3/5
In their first return episode, which means two 11-minute episodes in one half-hour show, they’re trying to determine whether Robin tells the truth when he declares he makes the best sandwich in the world.
To test this, they learn where the world’s best ingredients for a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich can be found. It turns out most are stashed behind some formidable barrier or some really cranky individual who doesn’t want to give them up
IGN 7.8
Anyone who's seen the New Teen Titans shorts that have aired on DC Nation knows what to expect here: "cute" versions of the team of superhero sidekicks Robin, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg. The focus of the show is less about encounters with Big Bads and more concerned with the wackiness that ensues when five teens with powers (well, four plus Robin) get to live in their own headquarters without grownups around to hassle them. (Take that, Batman!)
Slant 2/4
If the new animation style, character designs, theme-song remix, and primary focus on manic slapstick aren't dead giveaways, then the most obvious indication that Teen Titans Go! isn't canonical to the original Teen Titans series, which ran for five seasons from 2003 to 2006, is that Beast Boy (Greg Cipes) talks while in animal form. While its anime style and focus on adolescent humor gave the original series an anarchic patina, the seasons often built toward coherent narrative arcs that culminated with emotional upheaval and angst. Such personal turmoil was set against the backdrop of saving the world, thus translating the psychological grandiosity of adolescence into an actual matter of life and death.
