This 2-disc set collects the remainder of season 2 from the 2003 Ninja Turtles animated series. Note that while the Amazon graphic lists 13 episodes, there are actually 14 on this set and the final packaging has the correct number.

Season 2 of TMNT took the Turtles on a wild roller coaster of stories, and the episodes here reflect this. There are gang wars, inter-dimensional tournaments, alien planets, underground civilizations, and more. One of my favourites is the two-parter "Rogue in the House" where the Turtles team with a lost Triceraton to take down the Shredder's newest fortress. You also get crossovers with Stan Sakai's "Usagi Yojimbo" characters and a loving homage to the golden age DC/Marvel superhero teams.

There's definitely enough TMNT for your buck here - a few of the stand-alone stories do feel filler-ish and there's occasionally some story pacing issues (a result of TMNT having its last commercial break so close to the end of each show), but the problems are easily over-looked. Kudos again to another great original cover - can't wait to see what season 3 will look like.

One final note: the synopsis on the back cover actually lists the story arc for the beginning of season 3, which is only briefly teased in the last episode on this disc. Whoops.

The second half of Season 2 of the 2003 Turtle series, and thus far none of the episodes have been lacking in anything, although there's been some filler episodes but what animated action show isn't expected to have at least a couple every now and then. Season 2, I feel went about taking what Season 1 established and go about taking it a step further. I have to say that they sure outdid themselves with this season doing things I never thought that they would go about doing for a TMNT show, with having episodes of City at War. Even going back to something that was brought up in the first season, by helping out some friends they needed to help out from that season. To top it off the turtles get to take part in something they never competed in before in their lives, but the question is who's going to win that? Overall it's definitely worth 5 stars out of 5.

The DVD works perfectly. No marks or scratches were on it whatsoever! I would definitely recommend this title to anyone who enjoys watching TMNT cartoons.

The only reason this doesn't get 5 stars is the fact that they split up the seasons instead of putting them all in one set. So, it takes about 4 or 5 dvd purchases to make up one season.

My son loves this series-- he is six. He unfortunately won't be seeing this from the order I placed. Amazon cancelled this a week after I ordered. I contacted Amazon requesting the order be fulfilled for the price it was offered and customer service told me two times they would not fulfill the order. I was told they did me a favor by sending me an email that they were cancelling my order. Thanks Amazon! This is bad business and this is the second time Amazon has pulled this.I liked amazon but,Idon't do business when companies start this.
