Why It Rocks

 * 1) Considering that TMNT 2003 was originally going to end in July 2006 after Season 5, if this was the Series Finale, it could have been an epic one with all plot lines being completed and bringing a great feel of closure.
 * 2) The animation looks ten times better, with all the mystic weapons making it even better.
 * 3) The voice acting is top-notch like always.
 * 4) The Demonic Shredder is absolutely terrifying and is bad-ass, he is basically the Utrom Shredder, but even powerful and his motives to take over the world.
 * 5) Combining both Allies and Villains together for that battle was a smart one considering knowing that life is on the line, everyone knows that this is now or never.
 * 6) The action scenes are godlike and is absolutely amazing and awesome to watch and are nonetheless awesome like the show does. The Dragon fight specifically wins for being the most epic fight in all of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in general.
 * 7) The characters are at their most heroic and are at their absolute best they have ever been.
 * 8) The design of the city looking hellish was full of great imagery and perhaps the shows best animation ever.
 * 9) The turtles and shredder's last fight is iconic and remains to be one of the best showdowns in Cartoon History.
