Although not really an Anime, Teen Titans incorporated had a lot of heavy Anime influence (notably faces & gestures). It was, at the time, my favorite show on Cartoon Network and for a lot of good reasons. Mixing in comedy, action, & Superheroes ~ what possibly could go wrong? We have our brave leader, the female love interest from another world, a badass half-man half robot, a shapeshifting being, and a secluded female who learns to open up to her friends. Together, they are the Teen Titans. Encountering various enemies from Slade, the H.I.V.E Academy, Trigon, & The Brotherhood of Evil (led by the Brain) ~ Teen Titans was quite the watch. When combining action & comedy, sometimes that chemistry doesn't work all the time. For TT, it worked out well ~ plenty of awesome scenes while still maintaining its charm and charisma. The Teen Titans opening was also sang by J-pop Artists PuffyAmiYumi and, from time to time, it was either sung in English or in Japanese. Overall, Teen Titans is a phenomenon for its time and spawned 4-5 seasons. Of course we'd like to see it thrive and continue, but alas it wasn't picked up to continue. Teen Titans Go! is its successor and, for now, I'll leave it at that (I have a long rant on that for next week's Legacy post).
I hope you enjoyed this week's Legacy post. Look forward to Legacy post on Thursdays. Until then, you all stay classy now.
WBCR & Throwback will be up tomorrow.
