So did we ever figure out where this came from and if it's true?

That looks pretty fake. Where could they even come from?

 

[Ultimadrago]

That first episode was more entertaining than some entire seasons of anime I've watched that released this year!

 

[Mr. Patch]

I'm crying.

 

[Moaradin]

Holy shit that destroyed me.

 

[Sadsic]

jesus christ i was laughing my ass off at this

 

[ShirAhava]

Why do acid when you can just watch astro boy

 

[GG-Duo]

what the hell at that pig

It's a Tezuka troupe. It pops up in all of his works as a non-sequitur.

 

[LowParry]

Really? Gigantor's next? Oh man. Claaaaasic.

 

[Narag]

For now let's just assume that it's only referring to this night.

And from what I've read, apparently these came from a CN commercial?

Wasn't that shown back before Toonami was repurposed to Tom from Moltar? Am I even remembering that right? It looks familiar as hell.

That's actually interesting to learn. Thanks!

 

[Tookay]

Great shoutout to my childhood.

 

[Hawkian]

So true.

 

[Jafku]

More and more it looks like Gigantor is last

 

[Ultimadrago]

Where's the Blu-Ray for the amazing comedy that is O.G. Astro Boy?

 

[oc]

Why do acid when you can just watch astro boy

why not do both?

 

[Moaradin]

Even if Gigantor is last, I still wanna see the closing.

 

[ezekial45]

That was awesome.

If anyone is interested, there is an awesome game on the GBA (Astro Boy: Omega Factor). If you loved this show, the give the game a shot.

I think I recognize those slides too. From years ago. Had to do with some Toonami restructure of some sort.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Astro blew my expectatives, can't wait for gigantor

 

[FyreWulff]

Okay, I can definitely see how that started a genre. Imagine seeing Warner and Disney cartoons forever and that comes along.

 

[Forceatowulf]

I actually really enjoyed the story of Astro Boy. But man.. that is a dark ass cartoon. I mean.. Jesus.

[Junie12]

Man it's already 5 20 AM..

Thank god it's sunday tomorrow so I could sleep all day!

 

[Papercuts]

I'm in this till 6am.

AND THEN NEXT WEEK AT MIDNIGHT BECAUSE I BELIEVE

 

[Vaco6121]

They aired the 2003 Astro Boy, not the original, as far as I know.

They aired the original Atro Boy at the 4-5am Central time with Gigantor, a few years ago?, at least that when I still watching Adult Swim.

 

[Shizzlee]

This song, holy shit. I'm glad I stayed up lol.

 

[Sadsic]

i get from the jist of the opening credits that Gigantor is big

 

[Cassius]

I really hope this comes back.

Everyone use that suggestion page in the OP.

 

[CSX]

Outlaw Star

brings back those fond memories staying up till midnight every weekend to watch it back in elementary school.

 

[Levyne]

Well, been in for the long haul, not quitting now.


Let's see what you got, Gigantor

 

[Shadowlink]

GIGANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!
GIGANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!
GIGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!

 

[Ultimadrago]

Man, I have to stay up to watch this now.

 

[Kincaido]

GIGANTOOOOOOOOOOR.

Best theme song ever.

 

[The Xtortionist]

STING OF THE SPIDER

[Beelzeboss]

I'm staying til the end and I'm gonna have the best dreams ever when this is all over.

Still hoping for a cool ending to all of this

 

[Junie12]

They're eyes are so weird...

 

[BHK3]

Those souless black eyes...

 

[Papercuts]

Inspector Blooper? LOL

 

[The Xtortionist]

Inspector Blooper! This can't be real!

And good luck, Dick!

 

[MetatronM]

Right, that was Adult Swim, not Toonami.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Good luck, Dick.

 

[Hawkian]

This activates the drinking game I've always had; shot of wild turkey whenever the gigantor theme song is heard.

thanks, AS!

[Metroidvania]

No Bebop or Kenshin or Zoids makes me sad. But at least Astro Boy came through, and Gigantor looks promising.

I have actually heard that theme song before, couldn't place it for a bit.

 

[Zeal]

This is like a blast of Mass Effect 3's space magic right to the heart. The nostalgia is overloading me with wonderful memories and bittersweet joy.

Please make this permanent. The world needs happier times like these.
