Wow....Toonami. Now that I think about it, It's cuz of Toonami that I am into anime. They had DBZ which was my gate way drug into anime, and then they had hit after hit of anime shows. Gundam Wing, Outlaw Star, G Gundam, Big O, Tenchi, Yu Yu Hakusho, the list goes on. Funny how back then, the english voice acting was ACTUALLY GOOD, the only good recent anime voice acting has been Bleach (IMO). *sigh* I miss the good old days when I could watch CN for hours, especially during Toonami, now it's a hit or miss on Adult Swim (depending on the day).

Toonami was my gate-way to Japanese animation and manga. Rest well, my friend!

Speaking of which... AdultSwim pulled the plug on Satuday night anime in exchange for 12Oz Mouse. Hah. >.>
Adult Swim makes more money from the horrible ratings of their in-house $#17 (I like Metalocalypse, Boondocks, and Venture Brothers, though) than they do with good ratings on anime. When it costs $1.82 to pay for the Bic pens to make the show it makes profit off of 1 viewer.

I just think CN and all its various parts have gone down the crapper.

Frieza: The planet will EXPLODE in 5 MINUTES!
Goku: WHHHHHHAAAATTTT?!?!?!
(20 episodes later)
Frieza: FOUR MORE MINUTES!
Goku: WHHHHAATTT?!?!?!

Great memories.

Same here.  I remember that was the thing I looked forward to most when comming home from school each day.  Just to come back, eat a few snacks and wait till Tenchi came on.  DBZ thrust me into anime as well and Tom didn't look like a retarded weeble back then, just a simple sapce dude.  Plus their soundtrack was kick-ass.  I still have the original CD, the bass rocks.

 



sad to hear that :( I used to love toonami, althuogh I havnt had CN in 6 years, lol. I used to like samurai jack. Wonder what happened to it

This thread brought back so many good memories. It then made me depressed to think of back then and now, god Toonami has deteriorated over the years.

On that note, I want Tenchi back! That show was great, and IMHO 100 times better than Naruto or Bleach.



Kingdom Hearts 3 Bet: If Kingdom Hearts 3 becomes a multiplaform title/is not Wii exclusive then I will be banished from this land for 1 week and sing my praises to those who have proved themselves to be more intelligent than I.http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/RDBRaptor/rdbraptor_sig16.jpg%5B/IMG%5D">
