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. There’s catgirls, giant robots, karaoke, sushi bars, Dance-Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero, homages to Lupin III, Astro Boy, and Akira
the works. It’s 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.
