Love your shirt bro👏🏽

Why not name that new show something like Interactive Anime since that's essentially what anime games are?

I really gotta say I love and appreciate the content y’all create on this channel to the point that this has become my favorite channel on KZfaq well for anime and I look forward to you guys folding in gaming into your content......HOLY SHIT do a collab video with Maximilian dood that would be awesome

Its just crazy when I was a teenager you were a fucking nerd watching these shows, now at 30 I can talk about Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, and DBZ and not get to many second looks. Everybody was a secret fucking nerd.

Happy Anniversary!! Are you guys going to do an episode on the old Saturday night Adult Swim block that had Inuyasha, Ghost In The Shell, Big O, Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, and Trigun, etc etc? I kind of think that this video is a good jumping off point to get into that and how it introduced a lot of people to anime. I mean, yeah, a lot of what can be said about Toonami can be said about Saturday night Adult Swim. I fucking treasure the time that I had back then, though. Me and my sister would always stay up late watching that and when the Cowboy Bebop intro came on at like 3 or 4 in the morning sometimes we would have to rush up to the old ass NEC TV and manually turn it down so our mom wouldn't wake up. Anyway, thanks for the nostalgia.

I'm going to put that on a black tee-shirt and wear it to a Mac Demarco show.

Beautiful.

Underrated comment!

SO TRUUEEEE. First time I've really thought about it. It wasn't until years later with a new set of friends that I found out they were hardcore geeking out over it. When it aired nobody I knew was into it so I felt like I was part of a secret club of only a handful of people that were counting down the minutes and seconds until Tom showed up on screen every day. Hearing that voice again after so many years legit gives me goosebumps.

Yes

Toonami was the best program block of all time that Sean Akins, and Jason DeMarco ever created. I grew up with Toonami during my childhood years with Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Yu Yu Hakusho, Naruto, and more. Even though I started watching anime on television back in September 11, 1995 with Sailor Moon on US television syndication when I was a toddler. It was too girly, and I need something manly. That is where my young brother introduced to me into Dragon Ball Z on syndication (and then moved to Toonami in the year of 1998; alongside with Sailor Moon) in the late 1990s. Alongside with Pokémon (aired on syndication in the fall of '98, and move to Kids' WB on the following year in 1999 and onwards until 2006) and Digimon (excepted Tamers....because I do not want to deal with my worst nightmare/my true fear from the last saga...that creepy terrifying female human monster) (aired on FOX Kids in the late 1990s and early 2000s). Those still and were my first four anime titles that I started with and grew up from. As for Toonami, I was excited as my young brother and I was hooked on watching Dragon Ball (Z, the original Dragon Ball, and GT), Naruto, and the others (even though we flipped channels after Dragon Ball Z came off in the early 2000s). When Toonami moved to Saturday primetime at nights (2004-2008) away from weekday afternoons (1997-2004), I started to watch more shows on Toonami on Cartoon Network including Teen Titans (2003 on Kids' WB, and then in 2004-2006 on Cartoon Network), Yu Yu Hakusho (2003-2004), and Rouroni Kenshin (2003). It was amazing that I grew up watching the block from my childhood years from the late 1990s up to my teenager years in the mid 2000s. But when Toonami shutdown on September 20, 2008, which I didn't even knew that the block got shutdown because I stopped watching Toonami on Cartoon Network in around the summer of 2008. Cartoon Network went downhill at that time, and there was no good cartoons (except Adventure Time, Regular Show, Total Drama Island/Action) at that time, just live action in the late 2000s and early 2010s. But when Toonami came back on Cartoon Network, now airing on Adult Swim (replacing Adult Swim Action (2001-2012; which I grew up watching Inuyasha during my late childhood years up to my teenager years)). I was getting excited again, like my childhood inside of me is getting reborn watching the program block again just like good old times, even though I am in my adulthood years right now. But giving the chance watching new shows that I didn't watch including, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, Cowboy Bebop, IGPX, One Piece (which I didn't get the chance to watch in the mid 2000s, because of the 4Kids dub; while it was airing on 4KidsTV children's program block (formerly known as FOX Kids/FOX Box) in 2004 until FUNimation picked it up the license to produced and dub the show properly like its Japanese counterpart) and Ghost in a Shell. I also watched new anime titles including Casshern Sins, Deadman Wonderland, Eureka Seven, Samurai 7, and more. But all in all, Toonami grew up on me, and I am proud that I had a great time with.

Literally

it felt like nerds were running it...people like us...the way they gave us kenshin hakusho dragonball gundam naruto and a few others proved they were anime fans

Thats beautiful, but id say Toonami flew so anime could could run lol

Pewds reference. Sicko mode.

Toonami wasn't created for anime, it was for us kids to watch action cartoons, like they could have put Swat Kats or Pirates of Dark Water on there if they wanted to. That's why in the early days they played shows like Thundercats and Jonny Quest into the ground. Once they blew up with Sailor Moon and early DBZ, they got the money and green light from Cartoon Network to get expensive stuff like Gundam Wing from Bandai and get Funimation to finish dubbing DBZ, that's how it became so Japanese dominant in the early 2000s.

Agreed though I was introduced to it way before toonami existed.

@Tomas Bell Johnny Quest* Also Thundercats DID show on Toonami at one point.

Are you planning on watching Toonami's Original series though? And if you do recommend series to Toonami, do you watch the block yourself?

@@Murillos1 I will definitely be watching their originals

This gave me some Vietnam level flashback PTSD.

Yup as soon as goku arrived on Namek to fight Recoom it would start over again. God that was annoying. All the way back to freaking Radditz lol.

That was the only problem with Toonami on weekdays- Reruns, as Moltar explained to us kids, and it became more glaring later on with the short, 26 episode type shows. That was so satisfying when the new episodes finally came and Goku washed Recoome and Captain Ginyu and we got to see Vegeta and the Z Fighters try to take out Frieza. Those episodes were all built up hype to see if Vegeta could really get strong enough to go Super Saiyan and beat Frieza.

Really the only reason I hate Frieza so much.... get to Goku becoming Super Sayian than boom back to the beginning of the saga again. Damn I wish the internet was better back then.

Bruh, kids will neverrrrrr understand that level of frustration 😂😂😂😂

Nah I remember when it was saturday and I would stay awake from 12 am to 6 am watching anime and from 6 am watching Pokemon then falling asleep

I forgot that they'd aired Tenchi... What's great about that reminder for me is that in the last month I've revisited Universe and the OVA, and as I got into it I kept scratching my head when I asked myself how I'd gotten into the franchise as a kid and could remember at all. But if it was on Toonami, that's almost definitely the answer

@@jackingofftoraelilblack2342 Adult 🏊‍♂️

Getting me all nostalgic man. "Space Is The Place" is still one of my favorite promos of all time

So you just gone forget the goat Yu Yu Hakusho? Boy some of yall niggas ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

@@Dantheferret it is back….every Saturday night

Nothing wrong with that at all, just into...an obsession.😁🥳

right here brotha, right here

Seriously, though. Toonami was amazing.

Unlocked so many memories I thought I'd lost

You're God damn right

Just Some Guy with a Mustache I wonder how many kids today watch the programming block though. especially since anime is so prevalent online through streaming services and...piracy

CN has nothing to do with Toonami now, it's all about Adult Swim's success

Sorry but cartoon network is dogshit nowadays and it saddens me it was my childhood

CN and Adult Swim are two different networks within Turner Broadcasting, and are treated separately in the Nielsen Ratings. As long as Adult Swim is around, Toonami will be around. But who watches TV anymore, amirite? 😂

Pedro Ortega bro don’t forget Casshern Sins 2012 also

@@payrollrio Big O too!

Janae Stephenson-Brown facts. But I never got into it

@Pedro Ortega Fooly Cooly too!

Toonami's Midnight Run established the timeslot for more adult cartoons late at night. However, yeah Adult Swim eventually took over and brought us so many more shows. I do remember when adult swim started showing up I was pissed off because it took some of my anime time for "Home Movies" or "Tim and Eric?... While I started to be ok with Home Movies, Tim and Eric still annoys me that it took a half hour of my anime time....

That dope!

Zoids memories

I still have a white liger action figure from toys r us back in the day 😂

Harshhaze I remember doing this tio

Toonami is still around tho

Troll of 229: Ant the variable lmao they liked it

Troll of 229: Ant the variable You think that’s awesome. Check out this awesome commercial: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b85hn6mdsNnUoKM.html Unfortunately! It’s only referring to anime English voice actors. But! That doesn’t stop the perverts from making Rule 34 fanart.

I can relate to that

Until next time...stay gold...

Joeoeo0 i can agree to that

Rachums McOne same tho im 28 and i feel him and i would have been good homies if we met lol music anime video games the trifecta i love and respect
