I can't get enough of Teen Titans Go! It began with my son, as these things so often do. Skeptical as I was, I watched it out of love; that taste-transcending blend of patience and selflessness that allows moms and dads to suffer through just about anything with a smile, no matter how irritating a cartoon or family movie may be. But then somewhere, very, very early in the series' first season, something strange happened. My dad-smile wasn't forced. Patience wasn't required. I wasn't indulging in a guilty pleasure. I was... frequently cracking up? Grinning like an idiot? Admiring the wit, unpredictability, references, and laugh-a-second animation? Yep. I was hooked. Am hooked. As much as my son and wife actually, perhaps even a bit more so. I don't just "get" Teen Titans Go! It gets me. If that bothers you -- if you're looking to adopt another member into the TTG Dissenters Club -- best not read on. I'm a big fan. No two ways about it, and I'm not ashamed to say as much, loudly and as often as anyone is willing to listen. It's not a must-see, top-of-my-list classic, I'll be the first to admit. But it delivers the goods.
Teen Titans Go! The Complete First Season features a terrific 1080p/AVC-encoded video presentation. There are hints of aliasing here and there -- aliasing that will go largely unnoticed, if not completely overlooked -- but no other anomalies or distractions rear their ugly heads. Not even banding. Colors are bright and bold, primaries pack power, black levels are inky, and contrast is consistent. (And vibrant. Sickeningly vibrant, just as it was meant to be.) Clarity is excellent too, with razor sharp line art and crisp background details, and the image rarely disappoints. You won't spot a hint of noise either. The image is straight-from-the-digital-tap pristine. Not everyone will warm to the series' animation style, but no one will grumbling about the quality of the encode.
Like other animated series released by the Warner Archive Collection, Teen Titans Go! The Complete First Season is presented with a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 stereo track. Without a six-channel mix, there's no LFE output or rear speaker activity to comment on. However, that doesn't mean there isn't a strong, engaging experience to be had. Voices are crystal clear and intelligible, without anything in the way of prioritization issues. Effects are clean, crisp and suitably punchy, bursts of music are nicely represented, and there aren't any elements of the series' sound design that are overcrowded, under-supported, or underwhelming. The Titans Tower may not be brought to you in 5.1 surround, but fans will still be pleased with the results.
The Blu-ray release of Teen Titans Go! The Complete First Season doesn't include any special features.
Love it. Hate it. Teen Titans Go! at least elicits a strong reaction; compared to most animated comedies, which often earn little more than a "meh" and a quick change of the channel. If you dig the schizophrenic, reference-slinging zaniness Titans delights in dishing out, you're in for a ten-hour treat. If it grates your nerves... stop now while you're ahead. Fortunately, the Warner Archive Collection Blu-ray release of The Complete First Season makes it easy to judge the show on its merits and its merits alone. There aren't any special features, but the AV presentation is strong enough to make this one a cinch to recommend. To fans anyway. If you've yet to sample an episode, you might want to catch six or seven online or on TV before committing to a purchase.
