The Toonami Thread

[Hypeathon]

Well, Steve Blum IS in the game.

No but see, he admitted in an interview on the Anime World Order Podcast that he's not a gamer, is too busy to play games and never knew what games he reviewed on Toonami or even voiced in.

Gundam Wing. My first love.

I'm teary-eyed.

 

[BlueMail]

I have the dumbest smile on my face right now, the only way this night could get anymore perfect is if they aired Yu Yu Hakusho or Rurouni Kenshin, but I'm not gonna be greedy.

I had completely forgotten how awesome the designs for the Gundams were in this series. IMO, outside of G-Gundam these were the coolest looking mobile suits.

At the same time, I forgot how different the sound effects were and how they kept the... OH YEAH, OLD COMMUNICATION INSTRUMENTAL ENDING!! WHOOO!!

...sry. Anyway and how they kept the shaking camera for every mobile suit step! That became absent when I watched Gundam 00... OOOOHHHH BROKEN PROMISES DREAMS!! I have this track downloaded and use it from time to time to put me to sleep!

 

[wjbraden]

Broken dream amv....................

 

[BlueMail]

That became absent when I watched Gundam 00...

Yeah I kind of found Gundam 00 to be boring…well for me at least.

Anyways, Tenchi Muyo's on next. Now that's a show I haven't seen in forever!

Edit: Oh god, Broken Dream…so much nostalgia

 

[Katsumara]

Gundam 00 was good for the first season, mehtastic in S2 and the movie was boring as hell.

 

[Lighthammer]

Wow, the amount of amazing this is ----

I'm speechless. I'm going to go watch Toonami and be happy and worry about talking about the long term ramifications of this later.

Guys I'm not talking at all about the story. I'm talking about some of the changes in visual direction and sound effects in Gundam 00 and how times have changed compared to Wing, that's all. there shouldn't even be a talk about which series had a better story since that wasn't even what I was talking about.

 

[Zanneck]

This isn't a joke is it?!!

 

[BlueMail]

Wow, apparently I remember even less about Tenchi Muyo than I thought I did, I have zero idea what the hell is going on. Heh, I need to refresh my memory.

 

[The Man in Black]

This is the best April Fools ever.

 

[Butterstar]

This isn't a joke is it?!!

Nope, Tenchi Muyo's on right now.

This isn't even the Tenchi Muyo that aired on Toonami in 2000. It's suppose to be the rest of an OVA series that I don't know as much about. I recalled Funimation though licensing this and promoting a few clips on Youtube for the DVD release a few months back.
