5.0 out of 5 stars The second half of season 1, with some of the best episodes., February 20, 2005

This review is from: Teen Titans, Volume 2 - Switched (DC Comics Kids Collection) (DVD)

Vol 2, Switched features the second half of the original season, and most of the episodes on this disk are classic.

Raven fans will want to check out Switched, in which Raven and Starfire switch bodies, while the other members have their minds trapped inside puppets. The girls must work together to save the boys despite being stuck in each other's form. Although both get equal screen time, Raven noticeably has a bit more importance in the episode. Props to both Hynden Walch and Tara Strong for delivering a great performance as Starfire and Raven, respectively.

Car Trouble has the return of annoying pest in Gizmo. In it, Cyborg builds a hi-tech car, but it winds up getting stolen by some thieves... then Gizmo steals it from them. Cyborg(with help from Raven) attempts to take it back. Raven also shows a slightly lighter and friendlier side in this episode. A cute show, especially if you're a fan of either character(me being a fan of both, I enjoyed it quite a bit).

Mad Mod has the Titans get captured by... Mad Mod. They wind up having to deal with his psycadelic "school" of death. The episode is pretty much an excuse to be crazy, and you'll either love or hate this one.

Deep Six has the Titans facing a new foe called trident. Due to his underwater abilities Beast Boy has to face him alone, but luckily, there's also underwater ally Aqualad to help. Shame I didn't care for this one. Beast Boy was just too much of a jerk, and Aqualad was boring.

The other 3 episodes, Masks, and Apprentice, pts. 1 and 2, deal with the main plotline of season 1: Robin vs. Slade. Masks sets the events of Apprentice up, as Robin must battle Slade(brilliantly voiced by Ron Perlman, who was also Clayface in both Batman: TAS and Justice League) as well as his own inner demons, especially when Slade reveals just what he wants. These episodes are fantastic, and give the series some nice depth and even a bit of darkness, which may surprise a regular viewer who expects this just to be a regular "kiddy" show.

Sadly, I don't know of any special features confirmed yet. The first disk had an excellent look behind the creation of the original 1980's comic, so I wonder if there will be anything along those lines for the second volume. I wouldn't mind if there was an interview with the voice actors of the show. However, in typical with the "DC comics kids" releases I won't be surprised if there is another "interactive" game for the kids. Overall, these are some classic episodes from the series, and fans will likely enjoy this DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teen Titans in a nutshell, February 15, 2005

This review is from: Teen Titans, Volume 2 - Switched (DC Comics Kids Collection) (DVD)

As a ninteen year old male, I'm probably among the lowest demographic who watches this show. Nonetheless, I can say this is one of the best animated series to be released in a long time. This DVD perfectly shows everything that Teen Titans is... the dark, the funny, the middle of the line, and the bad filler. I'm also happy to say that seven episodes are on this DVD, so you're not getting ripped off here (ahem, Trigun).

The pinnacle of this DVD is the last five episodes, which are simply among the best of the whole season. They showcase everything that makes TT so good. Let's get to it.

-Masks and Apprentice part 1/2 are the last three episodes of the main "Slade" story arc. These are absolutely excelent episodes, with some grade A dialogue, a interesting little story, and a REALLY strong depiction of something called OBSESSION. Robin really shows us what he's like, and the character development is top notch. Nice music and action too. This is the dark, and I love it.

-Mad Mod is totally silly. I can't say much about it, but there are tons of in-jokes to go around that might slip by you the first time. Anyways, it's one of the funnier things I've seen lately, and it's just so delightfully nonsensical. If you want mindless humor, this is it. Funny writing, once again. This is the funny, and I love it.

-Car Trouble and Switched are right between. They aren't silly, neither are they dark. It's just two well done episodes that make a point. They've got great writing, and some good character development. Sadly, the villans are awful, but they don't bring down the episodes too much. This is the middle of the line, and I like it.

-Deep six is awful. Not funny, not interesting, not making a good point. This is the bad filler, and I don't like it. Thankfully, it's only one episode on a disc of seven (where many other anime DVD's have 3-5 eps) so it's no big deal. The show as a whole as a few too many of these episodes, and these are what brings the show down the most.

So there it is. If you could only buy one DVD of the whole series, this should be it. Great DVD for a good series that anyone can enjoy, for a good price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Now I want to own all the Teen Titan DVD's, September 10, 2005

This review is from: Teen Titans, Volume 2 - Switched (DC Comics Kids Collection) (DVD)

We had a long car trip to get to our vacation destination, so that gave us the excuse to buy this DVD. We mainly bought it for our 5 year-old, but I enjoy it as much as he does. Teen Titans is one of my favorite programs to watch.
My son enjoys the Switched episode best. The best part about that episode is learning more about Raven and Starfire. Their bodies get switched and they have to learn about each other in order to defeat the puppet master. These characters are so opposite that it makes it interesting to see how they handle the challenge.
My favorites are the Slade episodes, and Red X. I think the villian Slade is a deeper and more challenging character than most.
Overall a good DVD. Once you try one, you will want to get all the Teen Titans DVD's. I know I do.
