So the Teen Titans movie, “Trouble in Tokyo”, has just airred on Cartoon Network. If you missed it, it’ll be available on DVD Nov. 7th. Overall, I was unimpressed with the movie, despite having enjoyed the Teen Titans animated series.
You can read my full review of the movie Right Here!
They manage to cram in every single Japanese stereotype and anime cliché known to man in an hour and a half. Thereâs catgirls, giant robots, karaoke, sushi bars, Dance-Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero, homages to Lupin III, Astro Boy, and AkiraâŠthe works. Itâs cute at first, but soon you realize that the whole *point* of the movie was to cram in stupid anime references to satiate slobbering otaku Asian-wannabes. It goes downhill from there. Teen Titans has always been about pumping the septic tank of hackneyed anime conventions, but this was just overkill.
Then I suppose the most joy I’ll be receiving from this film is seeing the characters’ names written in katakana on the cover. Which, I admit, is mildly interesting.
“the whole *point* of the movie was to cram in stupid anime references”
Wasn’t the whole purpose of the show to try to be anime?
To me, the whole point of the television series was to deliver a good story with good action and develope the characters along the way. And the TV series did that, albeit with an artistic style that mimiced anime. However, the whole point of the Trouble in Tokyo movied seemed to be “Let’s see how many anime references we can make in an hour and a half! Aneemay is so KEWL!1!”
The story-telling in Trouble in Tokyo wasn’t up to the usual standards of the television series and instead relied on pandering to the otaku crowd with cheap homages and references that took priority over the plot.
I thought the movie was great for kids and teens. It was funny and the action was pretty good. It answered quitions that the show nevered answered. The love was okay but other then that it was great.
I liked it.

The show did more Starfire/Robin episodes than you could care to “think” about, they did’nt answer any questions regarding why Slade despactched a robot to taunt Beast Boy in “Things Change”, or gave us a final battle between Robin and Slade in this movie when the villain could very well should have been Slade.
The show however did a good job of wrapping up Beast Boy and Raven’s affections for one another, the conversation in “The End” was in every way a confirmation of that long-brooding romance, you just need to be able to look at the undertoning to get it, and Raven’s reactions to Garfield being surronded by girls was as natural an example of their relationship as Robin and Starfire’s was displayed as.
..It’s a sad thing the flaws of “Titans In Tokyo” are ignored due to the patented idiocy of the moronic ‘shippers who can’t post anything but “OH MY GODZ, STARFIREZ AND ROBIZ GOTZ TOGETHERZ”, like the loser above me. Are’nt commonplace BLONDES supposed to be so bloody stupid?
Hi cool site amigo12!
Teen Titans suck, Its a bad rip off of anime. In fact, DC comics suck, Marvel is way more creative.
