They totally fuck it up and turn it into some power rangers bullshit.

Lets step back a moment. TMNT is about Turtles who are Mutant Ninjas. This is already cool, bizarre, and interesting enough.

But no, Japan has to fucking throw in magic crystals and super power transformations and fucking GOD SAINT NINJA MUTANT whatever the fuck.

Oh, Japan. When will you learn?

Hmm... looks like it was fully indorsed by Mirage Studios and Fred Wolf. Also its a continuation of the original cartoon which wasn't hot cakes either, but yea this is far worse, why the hell Eastman and Laird allowed this I'll never know

In addition to the American series, a Japanese exclusive two-episode anime OVA series was made in 1996, titled Mutant Turtles: Choujin Densetsu-hen (ミュータントタートルズ超人伝説偏, Mutant Turtles: Choujin Densetsu-hen?). It featured the turtles as superheroes, who gained costumes and super powers with the use of "Muta-Stones," while Shredder, Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady gained super-villain powers with the use of a "Dark Muta-Stone." The show's characters resembled those in the original American animated series, but with very different personalities. The cartoon was aimed at a much younger audience, incorporating many elements of super sentai and superhero comics. The "saint" transformations in the first OVA episode are based on classic sentai themes, while the "metal" transformations in the second episode are derived from the Ssŭ Ling.
