W.I.T.C.H. (2004)
Not Sailor Moon, Not Winx Club, & Not Harry Potter
I read a lot of reviews saying how it's coping Sailor Moon, but the thing is, that its not. W.i.t.c.h. is it's own show with its own characters and plot and the genre is that of a magical girl series, which is very common in Japan, so why not Italy & Disney?
However, there are some changes from the comics that I like. For example, in the comics it didn't take Cedric that long to bring Elyon to Metaworld, but in the series, it was a while before it was even revealed that Elyon was the Princess of Meridian & went with Cedric only after feeling betrayed by her friends & family when she witnessed the guardians transformation and her parents true forms. Also, Elyon was nicer in the series then the comics.
Another one of my pet-peeves that I had while reading reviews was that someone compared W.i.t.c.h. to Captain Planet just because the powers are the same. They're called the four elements of magic or alchemy. ALso Will's power is the fifth element called Quintessence.
Lastly, I would like to say to all of you who say that it's a Winx Club copy or Harry Potter copy, have you ever seen an episode of W.i.t.c.h.? Because if you have you would see that W.i.t.c.h. has nothing at all to do with either of them as it doesn't take place at a school of magic, but 5 teens battling evil in another world. Sure they transform like Winx, but the guardians grow older after words.
All in all W.i.t.c.h. is one of the best shows by Disney, a 10 out of 10!
Teen Titans (2003)
NOT another animation of a DC comic!
When I first saw the preview for Teen Titan(the preview on kids WB before it previewed on CN) I was excited, it looked really good and the character designs just shouted "Anime-Style!" Which was so cool cause I'm a HUGE fan of anime.
So when it premiered on Cartoon Network, I couldn't wait! After I saw the premiere episode "Final Exam," I fell in love with the show! The characters are:
Robin: ex-sidekick of Batman and the cool tough leader of the team. This character is hard for me to like or dislike. In some episodes he's a great leader and a good friend, but in other episodes like "Hounted" & "The Beast Within" he's too focused on being a hero that he forgets to be a friend. Also I love the Robin/Starfire couple the best.
Cyborg: Half human, half machine. Brains and brawn mixed into one. Cyborg is a pretty good character both when he's making fun of Beastboy or talking tech talk, the show wouldn't be the same without him.
Beastboy: One of the funniest Titans on the show, even if the other Titans don't think so. Beastboy isn't just humor though, he can shape-shift into any animal, even alien species. I like both the BB/Terra pairing & BB/Raven pairing, however the second one is my favorite.
Starfire: Her confusion and misunderstanding of the ways of earth add so much humor to the series. Starfire is an alien for the planet Tamaran(I think I spelled that right.) She can shoot "Starbolts" from her hands, fly, and later on she can shoot lasers from her eyes. While she's strong in battle Starfire is a very sweet, kind, and lovable character.
Raven: Even with her monotone voice(Tara Strong)and sarcasm Raven still manages to make me laugh! Sometimes Raven can be timid and withdrawn because she feels different. But doesn't everybody? Raven has a very dark mind, literally, and her power of telekinesis is seen as dark energy. One of my favorite characters because I feel I can relate to her. Plus she likes to read just as much as I do!
All in all, Teen Titans is the best DC comic cartoon both because the anime-style and the writing. I give it a 10 out of 10!
Danny Phantom (2003)
Best Nicktoon of a teenage hero EVER!
Danny Phantom is one of my all time favorite cartoons of 2006! Why? Because, it has great humor, awesome voice acting, different story lines, and catchy music. Not to mention the character designs are ordinary and creative at the same time, and it never gets old! The art is very unique. The villains are very different then most animated bad guys. I don't understand why some people think it's stupid, when it has so many things about the show that makes it amazing. Danny Phantom is very fun to watch when it's new and you have no idea what kind of running gags they'll pull or if the witty batter will be better then the last. I so recommend this show to all cartoon lovers!
