I know what you're going to say it's not Anime, well smarty pants it is in fact, MurikAnime, anime concepts with traditional north american styles, so shush already. Also is there something wrong with Starfire's head on this cover, it looks way wrong.
If you haven't heard about the Teen Titans, what are you doing here, but to summarise, this version of the titans includes Robin as leader, Cyborg, the green skinned shape shifted Beast Boy, the alien princess, Koriand'r also known as Starfire and daughter of the DC version of the Devil, Trigon, who wields black magic. But before I get on with reviewing the movie there is just some things I need to yell at DC about, WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE TO STARFIRE AND RAVEN!
Okay it's not the costume as Starfire in the comics has ALWAYS been questionable with her costumes.
No, her real problem is the fact that she's been turned from a fun loving character to a fun hating, goldfished brained whore with a emo personality!
Yeah I know that's what DC does these days, because emo kids must be the largest part of the market, and Raven well, she got her origin story again with a costume designed by a fucking retard.
HOW THE FUCK DOES SHE SEE?!
Anywho back to the anime before I have the DC hit squad of my doorstep. The anime opens with Titans tower being destroyed by a mysterious villain, Robin and the others bring him down and after an interrogation, they head off to Tokyo to find out who sent him. And fight a giant monster that rips off Godzilla.
This anime was released after the end of the show which despite massive outcry to get it back properly we get this.
This show sucks so much, I think I speak for every fan of Teen Titans, we'd rather have been sent a big bag of burning dog shit on our doorsteps, oh off topic again.
Anyway the characters are their usually selves, Robin is dedicated to the mission, Beast Boy is a clown, Starfire is excited by everything new, Raven throws out her usual Daria-esque wit, wow a Daria reference in 2014, and Cyborg is still... Cyborg.
Anyway while they investigate Tokyo for the mastermind responsible for the tower attack, they see the sights and sounds of Tokyo, Starfire ends up in an arcade, Cyborg tries out new foods, Beast Boy gets chased by the ladies including Jynx, no those are ganguro girls, they are obsessed with Black Culutre and thus imitate them.
There's also a scene where Beast Boy is singing Karaoke and well he sings the Teen Titans theme.
And yeah it's as butchered as most Anime Opening Fandubs.
And of course Robin and Starfire well... throughout the series there was a will they won't they thing between the two and I'm not gonna spoil it.

OH DAMN IT! But seriously this 'movie' is 75 minutes long so it doesn't drag on, but be truthful, it's not a real movie at least it doesn't feel like one, it feels like a several parter set of episodes that have been glued together for a dvd release. There's nothing to amazing rolled out at the villain's identity you'll guess quite quickly and the villain isn't as good as series staple Slade, but don't get me wrong it's not bad, just well average. Though the villain does have the power to bring drawings to life, which is a pretty sweet super power, but honestly don't watch this movie if you haven't seen the show and if you haven't seen the show, well... get your ass to the internet and buy the dvds or find it on a legal source online and watch that shit.
Also DC, Cyborg is the only member of the Justice League to not have his own book, what you're telling me there is nothing you can do with a cyborg that fights crime who was once a normal human badly hurt in an accident, I mean when has a story like that happened.
She's been kidnapped again, and they took Minchy, okay someone's getting their ass kicked.
Whoa, is that Cyrus, I should of know it would be that guy, oh Iohel, no I'm not mad at you, I knew whoever caused this whole reality mess would appear eventually, I mean a vampire version of me doing that much damage, oh please. But you don't have a missingno right?
Well then if we go in we're walking into a trap, but it's not like we have any other plans, oh well let's do this.
TO BE CONTINUED!
