I remember watching this show on Nickelodeon. I didn't watch every episode but I watched some and I love the animation. I was 24 when the show came out.

Comparing this to One Piece is an absolute solid way of thinking. No, it is not even close to the same story, but a lot of people dismissed it unfairly (and the Nickelodeon really just dropped the ball on this thing), but while there is a lot of humor, it only makes the serious plot stuff hit that much harder when it does. Plus, I think the humor is great on it's own, but there IS a pay off waiting to happen, just as Gravity Falls, Owl House and Amphibia start off innocent enough but have way more prepped towards an end game. Buckle up boys. It'll be a incredible ride.

Really excited you guys started this series! Just got into it myself after the movie, but I fell hard! By the way, you actually know Donnie's VA from Ducktales too! 😉

Raph is kind of the second leader of the TMNT it’s very common for him to lead because Leo can’t for whatever reason. Also WOW that was chaotic.

So excited to see this reaction, and cant wait to see future ones! ROTTMNT has become one of my favorite shows, and unfortunately there isn't a lot of reactions to it! Things of note:
1. Rise specifically, as you hypothesized and someone else in the comments mentioned, takes place BEFORE they are the superhero team known in most tmnt series. To show this, they made the characters younger and more inexperienced, and like mentioned, Raph is the leader, not Leo, specifically because he is the eldest.
2. Speaking of which, the ages! Mikey is the youngest at roughly 13 years old, I believe Donnie and Leo are 14, while Raph is 15. So they are VERY young teens for the most part, and this reflects on their maturity.
3. The show does take a more comedic route, purely because unfortunately that is what cartoons have to do now adays. They aren't really allowed to be serious and plot heavy, so a lot of the episodes are more... slice of life/bad guy of the week stuff.
4. And on Ben Schwartz, as you guys mentioned, he voices Leo, as well as Dewey from Ducktales and Sonic from... Sonic. Basically Bem Schwartz has admitted he wants to voice every important "blue guy in cartoons" if they ever have remakes and new installments. So far he's done those three!

Rise does have Raph pre established as the leader as they were growing up exploring what would happen to his and Leo’s personalities with the shifted responsibilities

The voice for Leo is also Dewey in duck tales; Ben Schwartz whose also live action sonic. Dude just voices blue
