I'll stick to TechTV and Adult Swim. Seriously, I can't remember the last time I even cared to watch Toonami because they air quite possibly the dumbest shows I've ever seen. And another thing I really hate it how they'll manage to make a show last more than a handful of years. Seriously, weren't they airing DBZ back in 1996 or something? And they're finally just now airing DBGT. (Which is an "amazing" anime, I mean if you thought DBZ was bad, ha, you're in for a "great" surprise ... /sarcasm) Yes, that's basically my rant. Not much to say, other than I could really careless about Toonami. And please people, don't give me the "If it weren't for Toonami, anime wouldn't be where it is now in the US!"

Ok DBZ aired when Toonami first started out. Except I do remember seeing it one morning when it wasn't on Toonami before on Cartoon Network. Yes I'd agree that the shows are getting out of hand on there by running mainly kids shows that are boring for us. Teen Titans is the only thing I'll watch though. | |||

No...no...not just 'kid shows that bore adults'...that's what Toonami/Miguzi is supposed to be geared for, young adults and younger. But that shouldn't mean that gives them an excuse to air crap because it's supposed to be geared towards younger audiences either. | |||

What could they really show though? Yes everything sucks, but unless they have something better to air they really can't do anything. D.I.C.E turned me off by the opening, I lost intrest in GT after I downloaded some of the early episodes, now being aired as the "Lost Episodes". The only shows I watched on Toonami, were Teen Titans, Yuu Yuu, Megas XLR, and... thats it. With reruns of both Megas and Yuu Yuu, I really don't pay attention to it. Adult swim isn't doing that much better either, with them slowly edging away from anime, I've started to lose interest. And they are still showing Futurama that we have seen 50 times, at least! |

Originally posted by Dracoon That's what I'm wondering too. Maybe they're just really out of options and they can't show anything BETTER than this...but I somehow doubt that's the case. I mean hell, I've seen some great examples of anim (edited by Yomiko on 02-13-05 01:06 PM) |

I stopped watching anime on TV months back. One, I hate commericals, and two, they normally leave some of the good shit out. In all honestly, if you want to see a better anime line-up, make your own. Yes, by watching anime on TV, it got me into InuYasha and...well, oh and Cowboy Bebop and Trigun, and I am thankful, but the rest that I watch now and starting to get into, has been through word of mouth from my friends. Toonami aires around the time when kids get home or are already home from school. Kids normally watch TV at this time, and usually the younger ones do not know the difference between cartoons and anime, and this might be way they're showing these types of animes now. Too bad their parents doesn't know the difference either so they can teach their kids, instead, they see tw characters fighting on the TV, and they go nuts, saying that cartoons should not be like that, and blah blah blah, where in fact, its not a cartoon at all, but an anime. |

I'd definitely believe you about not watching for months because Toonami doesn't come on when kids get home from school anymore, that got shipped to Miguzi. Toonami comes on Saturdays anymore. The only problem with the majority of that logic is 'free' versus not. You're on the not. As for the whole misconception of anim |

The animes shown on Toonami that I've liked: Gundam Wing 08th MS Team YuYu Hakusho Dragon Ball The animes shown on Toonami that I've disliked: DBZ DBGT Cyborg 009 Gundam SD Rurouni Kenshin YuYu Hakusho (Note: It was good when it started out) G-Gundam Pretty much everything else that comes to mind. So yeah, very big piece of disparity there. Adult Swim and Midnight Run were a different story. Personally, I enjoyed watching things like Cowboy Bebop, Pilot Candidate, and even a little bit of 0080 when it was on at around 1 in the morning on saturday nights. I loved Trigun, and I thought Lupin III was fairly clever, if a little crude and offensive. I thought Kikaider was cool, though the animation style turned me off. I'm glad they're showing Full Metal Alchemist, but I saw most of it subbed anyway. I just didn't like Inuyasha... For the most part, Adult Swim outdoes Toonami, and Toonami is just more or less bad. I'm glad I have the internet for the animes I like following now, and honestly I hope a few of them get dubbed well and sent over to Adult Swim. They could use some good material. |

Now heres the problem for me Grey, I'm behind a fire wall that I can't disable, so I can't use any programs where anyone connects to me, I can't use the IRC Chat here that often. I saw Trigun and CowBoy Beebop before they came to America, Trigun being my all time favorite show of any sort ever, CowBoy Beebop being close behind. I did like Gundam Wing, but they haven't shown that in forever, really, it is wierd. I know no real good anime that I haven't watched. Ranma 1/2 I've seen all seasons, now anyways, Love Hina, seen it, Galaxy Star, seen it. I can't find some, Evengleon (I know I spelt that wrong) and a few others. Case Closed became to repeditive for my tastes, although I did love a good protion of the episodes. I liked DBZ personally, but the dub wasn't that great, Inuyasha was fine, until the later episodes, and how can you not like the later episodes of Yuu Yuu? They are awesome, of course it does seem that he is invincible at some points... |

Toonami had Robotech and Voltron. Those were dropped and its gone downhill ever since, with only a brief spike when it had Mobile Suit Gundam. | |||

From what I know of D.I.C.E. it was made solely for the purpose of selling toys. Anyway, when the dubbing of the last arc of Yu Yu is complete they'll begin showing it again - according to some people from GameFAQs, that's the reason the run ended, it was getting ahead of how fast Funi could dub it. So yeah, when new eps of Yu Yu and Megas come back, it'll be better. Additionally, I hear the license CN has to show Kenshin expires soon, and that CN is dumping DBGT once the lost episodes finish, so there you go.

Toonami was way better when they gave it weekdays. As soon as it went to weekends it was completely downhill. Thank god there is Adult Swim and TechTv, thats where I wathch my serious anime (And Anime Network On Demand...jealous? ) I watch Toonami sometimes because it is just sooooo bad that I cant help but like it. OnePiece is sooo bad, Luffy sounds like an idiot but that laugh he does...its contagious!! ZatchBell is possibly the dumbest show Ive ever seen...but the voice acting is also pretty hilarious at time...because its so bad. |

ZatchBell? Don't tell me that is Gash Bell dubbed. I'm probably one of the few who actually liked G Gundam , although I did watch the real G Gundam. | |||

WIth all of this being said , I heard that Naruto was going to be placed on the Toonami line-up; now dpenending how they executed it but dubbing and cutting it up; it should either: A: Suck B: Suck I can already tell they are going to screw it up. On that note, I can truely say I have not watched Toonami since G-Gundam |

I watched the Naruto preview.. I miss the music :<. Although it doesn't seem like they'll have a ton of rap, and I guess that's a step forward. | |||

Originally posted by JillYep. But they couldn't keep the name Gash Bell. Because of what Gash is slang for. And Zatch sounds very similiar. So it's barely an edit at all. Zatch Bell is a fine name. And I like Zatch Bell Oh, and Seto. Why would they screw it up? It's being dubbed by Viz Media. They have no REASON to screw it up, and they're a good dubbing company. The only possible edits they would make would be removing some of the sexual stuff and removing the blood. Both of which are reasonable edits which have no affect on the tone of the show. |
