I admit, as a fan of the original Teen Titans cartoon, I was giving Go! a lot of undue hate when I first saw it, as many people did. I originally saw it as a terrible satire of the original cartoon that had done everything a reboot can go wrong. Granted, I somewhat liked the artstyle (I'm a sucker for chibi), but for everything else was summed up by one word: NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE.
Then I actually watched a couple of episodes and it turns out, it's actually pretty good. The characters are exaggerated from their original selves yes, but in the quirky world that Go! sets up (which isn't that different from the original cartoon really) it works surprisingly well, and each of the characters have a kink to them that make their humor funny (i.e. Robin's friendship with his staff, Raven's closet love for the cute, etc.) It's overall humor is hit and miss, but for me, it's mostly hits with some misses here and there.
Is it as good as the original cartoon? I wouldn't go that far, seeing as though the main 5 is really the only characters that do have focus, and the villains are there, but they only appear as cameos at the most. Also, where's Terra? I'd like to see what they could do with her. But on the whole, Teen Titans Go is a decent cartoon with good comedy and a fun colorful artstyle.
