[MThanded]

When I was younger I never watched toonsmi. Now I'm drunk and confuse.

Only anime I watched was initial d.

 

[Fracas]

How long til we hit OT2?

 

[Izick]

It's killing me mang

I know mang, but it's a once a year type deal. You gotta hang in there bro.

 

[Kalnos]

Was Reboot technically Toonami, or was it before Toonami with stuff like Batman: TAS?

Both of them were on Toonami though I think Batman: TAS was off of the Toonami block as well for a time.

 

[B.K.]

G4. They did Last Exile, Soul Taker, and something or other Mobius.

They had Dual and Read or Die. I think they had Gatekeepers, too.

 

[MetatronM]

So what all have they played so far? I just came in a Yu Yu Hakusho.

[Genesis Knight]

I never watched this show. Is this episode any good?

This is the first episode. There's only like 4 (it's an OVA). Was good stuff.

the unaired third season and parts of fourth aired on Toonami

 

[Parallax]

SciFi channel should follow up with their anime blocks like they once had. AKIRA, 8 Man After, Demon City Shinjuku, Venus Wars, Tank Police, Lens Man, etc. Good fucking times.

That summertime block was the fucking shit. Iria saved my life during those boring ass keizer oregon summers.

 

[KingK]

DBZ Gundam Wing Tenchi Muyo Outlaw Star Big O

Thanks. Wish I would have been able to catch Gundam Wing and Outlaw Star. Those were two of my favorites. Can't wait for Trigun though. So good.

I'm so pumped full of Nostalgia right now.

COFFEE TIME

 

[EYEL1NER]

G4.

Cool.
And I feel dumb for the second time tonight. I mentioned Rahxephon earlier. That wasn't on Toonami/Adult Swim. That was also G4. Getting all mixed up now.

 

[InfiniteNine]

G4.

It aired on TechTV.

 

[thetechkid]

They had Dual and Read or Die. I think they had Gatekeepers, too.

And Betterman, no one besides me even remembers that amazing show.

 

[bigosc2k]

Toonami and Adult Swim helped raise us. It's like seeing an old friend again

I'm glad that adult swim decided to skip showing repeats of The Room on April Fools for this instead, I hope the high ratings will make cartoon network or adult swim consider bringing back toonami for at least Saturday nights

 

[heliosRAzi]

They can't bring back Toonami. They won't have any good shows to air. They could probably put Sym-Bionic Titan on it, maybe Soul Eater, but what else.

But this is if they do bring it back, which I doubt

 

[Choppasmith]

I just found the commercial for the new Cartoon Planet and noticed they're touting a 20th Anniversary logo at the end

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-HlehJ4DNM

Maybe they really are looking into some kind of retro revival. Latest we'd have to wait is 2017.

[Darryl]

whoever is hosting this stream is messing with it?

 

[Papercuts]

If they seriously play Reboot...I think my mind would implode.

 

[Rahxephon91]

It aired on TechTV.

Techtv had been bought by then.

 

[Izick]

I really hope so.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Sucks that this is 99.9999% likely to be a joke.

 

[surrealist]

Dont forget Roujin Z!

That was fire. Roujin Z. Zerim too. Live version as well.

Saturday Anime on SciFi was great. It's too bad that other than Macross Plus and Monster, their weekly anime block sucked. It's dead now. I don't think they've ran that block in almost a year. The last thing they were showing was Starblazers.

And Tenchi in Love, Iria: Zeiram the Animation, Green Legend Ran, and Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer

I didn't know they were running as recent as a year ago.

And oh yeah, Lensman.

 

[Hansel]

It aired on TechTV.

My whole childhood back in single night.

 

[B.K.]

I'm going to go get ready for bed. I hope someone is recording this. I want to watch the opening and ending Tom segments tomorrow.

I didn't know they were running as recent as a year ago.

The movies weren't. They had another anime block that they started three or four years ago that ended last year. On that blocked, they showed Gundam 00, Noein, Monster, Macross Plus, Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Soceity, and a few other tv series and movies. I quit watching it after I realized how much they were cutting their shows for time.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Techtv had been bought by then.

IT AIRED ON TECHTV

 

[heliosRAzi]

If they seriously play Reboot...I think my mind would implode.

They have the entire series on DVD now

 

[Izick]

The opening segment is in the OP.

 

[bigosc2k]

If they seriously play Reboot...I think my mind would implode.

If they play Reboot I think my boxer will forever be unclean

 

[Junie12]

Reboot was the show that got me into toonami, if they end it with that show, greatest night ever confirmed!

 

[Parallax]

And Betterman, no one besides me even remembers that amazing show.

I do. Its a spin off to gaogaigar after all. G4 also had soul taker and abenobashi. Such an underrated anime block

 

[Metroidvania]

Both of them were on Toonami though I think Batman: TAS was off of the Toonami block as well for a time.

the unaired third season and parts of fourth aired on Toonami

Ah, gotcha. It's been a while, damn.

I can't wait to see what's after Trigun.

Man, DBZ, Outlaw Star, Big O, YYH, Trigun....

I'm praying for a Bebop ending but I think that was always Adult Swim only.

 

[Dug]

whoever is hosting this stream is messing with it?

Huh?

 

[MasterShotgun]

Wasn't Samurai Jack on Toonami at some point? I think I would cry if they save it for the end.

 

[Chamber]

DBZ Gundam Wing Tenchi Muyo Outlaw Star Big O

Sad I missed Gundam Wing. That was 2nd to DBZ for me back in the day.

 

[Izick]

It's so weird to see such beautiful animation with suck shitty 3D modeling.

 

[Omnicent]

If they seriously play Reboot...I think my mind would implode.

If they do they better show some burly Matrix action

 

[SamuraiX-]

Come on, CN. Give me some Ronin Warriors somewhere in this schedule.

My body is yours to do what you please if this happens.

 

[EYEL1NER]

And Betterman, no one besides me even remembers that amazing show.

I remember not liking it, but that is about it.

 

[Moaradin]

HAHA this 3D.

 

[bigosc2k]

Well Cowboy Bebop is always aired on the weekends on early Sunday mornings

How am I to go about letting them know I want this to remain?

I'll use this in the OP after everything is said and done, could you give an updated version once Toonami runs its course?

How am I to go about letting them know I want this to remain?

Check the OP.

 

[Lulubop]

I expect Robotech or Ronin Warriors.

 

[Darryl]

Huh?

i kept hearing people saying weird things, like "nofx" and "democrat". i logged in and the problem disappeared. was odd.

 

[wwm0nkey]

If they re-released this without the shitty 3D work it would be amazing.

 

[CF_Fighter]

That explosion CGI

 

[ViewtifulJC]

OMG this 3d modelling

this some pre-Toy Story CGI shit
