So I watched an episode of the new TMNT cartoon today! It was pretty good actually It was the episode where the fat guy got a video of the turtles fighting the narcacistic alien cyborg clone guys with a sub plot of Raphiel learning not have such paper skin. I felt like the anime-esque added visuals done in comic book style were an awkward blend with the CG, though the character design was good and the world was just dark enough to hold to the TMNT roots well. The fact that they had a clear moral lesson worked into the sub plot without making it overtly preachy is a leap in the right direction, and I loved how they used ACTUAL Japanese and proper etiquette while they were practicing. It wasn't a half attempted racial offshoot like I've seen other cartoons do. All in all, I'd say there's still hope for modern cartoons. I'm chalking it up with Gravity Falls and MLP as a definate rewatch
