Let me begin by admitting that although I am an avid animation
collector, I never considered myself much of a Teen Titans fan. I
appreciated the source material but the animated series was a bit
too campy and certainly too anime-heavy.
That said, I took a chance on the complete 4th season on account of
the great reviews it has been receiving. Having just completed the
season last night, I must express my extreme satisfaction to this
collection and the series as a whole.
As others have said, the show's producers and writers have found
their rhythm! The 4th season relies less upon Japanese-style
animation and more on wonderful plots and character development. The
series is pretty evenly mixed between funny romps and a back-story
of Raven facing her destiny. The balance is absolutely perfect
between light-hearted adventures and disturbing apocalyptic good
versus evil episodes. Also worth mentioning is the surprising return
of Slade with a new look and some cool surprises.
Additionally, the lighter episodes are genuinely funny as opposed to
gimmicky. Without giving too much away, the episode featuring the
alien "the source" (Employee of the Month) had me laughing out loud.
As a long-time DCAU aficionado, I must confess that the 4th season
of Teen Titans is so impressive that I've since ordered the earlier
seasons to catch up on what I've been missing.
