 Pretty good, but lacking some playfulness... September 8, 2008

Even though I'm pretty old to be watching cartoons like Teen Titans (or so I've been told), I have always found them fun and the stories to be rather smart for a "tweens" show. I especially loved season four with it's dark main story line mixed with incredibly fun filler episodes. The fifth, and final, season took the serious tone of season four and amped it up, perhaps a little too much for the shows good. The worldwide romp the Titans go through and the gathering of all the young super heroes was a good story line, but it left little room for some of the more playful episodes of the previous seasons. In fact, the entire season seemed to be absorbed in the main story line. Not saying that it was bad, in fact it was a pretty good story line, but it just didn't feel as fun as the previous seasons. Especially the last episode of the season, "Things Change," which seemed to end the show on somewhat of a downer. In short, this season is probably best for those fans who are finally in their teen years, but not for the younger ones.
 Teen Titans Season 5 August 28, 2008

A couple of years ago, I wrote to Warner Bros asking them to bring back the great quality of incidental music in their cartoons, quoting Batman TAS, Superman TAS as my favourite examples.
I think they listened. The first two episodes of this season "Homecoming Part 1 & 2" feature a fantastic score of dramatic music, which complements the guest characters: The Doom Patrol. The story shows Beast Boy's connection to his former team, and his divided loyalty between the Doom Patrol and the Titans.
Doom Patrol's enemies the Brotherhood of Evil (led by M'sieur Mallah & Madam Rouge) become the main focus of the Titans for the rest of the season, which sends them on a global quest to sign up honorary Titans galore.
In "Lightspeed", you'll see Kid Flash (voiced by Michael Rosenbaum, who voiced the adult future version of the character in Justice League/Unlimited as The Flash). Lots of other guest characters familiar to DC comics including Red Star (a retooled version of the Russian Starfire from Teen Titans original comic series #18).
This is the best season, and a great way to wrap up the series. Watch out for the surprising final episode, featuring the return of ... I won't spoil it.
Teen Titans episodes are cool. August 25, 2008

Collected all seasons of the Teen Titans and the movie. Love the characters and wanted to add them to our movie/series collection. Too bad the series were discontinued. All good series somehow come to an end.
Toodle-loo Titans ! August 8, 2008

Well, it's finally here; the fifth and final season of the heroic hit series "Teen Titans". For the first time on two fabulous DVDs you'll witness the final 13 episodes of the series like:
"Homecoming" - A two-parter where we meet the Doom Patrol, the team Beast Boy used to join, and the Titans help them save the day.
"For Real" - Control Freak returns, but is surprised to see the Titans East for a change. Either way, he tests the new team with with very difficult challenges.
"Revved Up" - The Titans and some of their worst enemies go head to head in a race that's totally freaky.
"Go" - It's the episode you've been waiting for. The Titans origin story where the fearless five meet each other and how they became friends by saving the town together.
"Things Change" - After winning the greatest battle of all time, Beast Boy is shocked to see some differences in the city, and what's more surprising is seeing a girl that totally looks like his old friend Terra.
A special feature in this set is seeing inside specs from the "Teen Titans Friends and Foes Gallery". Believe me, this season has a whole lot more heroes and villains than ever before !
Well, lots of good things must come to an end and this series totally proves it being the finale season and all. And another thing, the comic book series "Teen Titans GO!" has also seen its final days as well. (However, a similar series called "Tiny Titans" is currently running where you'll see younger versions of the Titans and other heroes, too.)
If you have the previous four seasons plus the feature-length movie "Trouble in Tokyo", this will be your final volume of the Titans. If you're looking for more heroes, watch the new "Ben 10 Alien Force" and "Transformers Animated" episodes currently playing on Cartoon Network. And coming soon, new shows like "Secret Saturdays" will be coming this fall in an all-new lineup on Fridays ! Hope you'll like them.
Calling All Titans August 5, 2008

it's the final season in the series, and they finished off great. i love the titans. BB is my favorite, and this one was pretty much chock-full of him, his origins, Terra's return and his reaction, him kicking Slade's butt alone, and a few other connected episodes where Beast Boy saved the day without the other (original) Titans around to help. of course it shows Starfire's origin, they all meet and the forming of the Titans, how Jinx (formerly of the H.I.V.E. FIVE) becomes an honorary Titan, and other little things...
...and they finished off strong, with virtually every villian any of the Titans have taken on coming after them all at once, taking the Titans (full and honorary) down one or two at a time. once again, BB came to the rescue, calling on the few remaining allies he had to help him launch a final attempt to save the others from their enemies. in the end, over 140 Titans stand against the remaining villians and come out on top. yay!!
so... basically, i was in cartoon heaven. now i'm just waiting to see exactly how they plan to bring the Judas Contract story arc of the Teen Titans to dvd. (Terra & Slade's story was already told, and if i remember correctly, that WAS the original Judas Contract in the comic books.) maybe (now that Terra and Slade are both back) the continuation of that story will pick up in the new movie (if they ever get around to doing it). either way, can't wait to find out.
Titans Go!
