Toonami is on right now!
« on: April 01, 2012, 01:22:27 am »
Kind of a strange april fools joke for Adult Swim considering most of their pranks make the april 1st block unwatchable.  But it's on, and showing all the classic shows. 

I wonder how they managed to pull it off considering they lost the liscenses to broadcast many of these shows ages ago.  DragonBall Z, for example, is now on Nick.  I'm just saying... be grateful, it has probably been a lot of work behind the scenes to arrange this airing.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Maybe because it's not Kai.  :dunno

Nobody should be watching DBZ in any kind of dub.  The first 50ish they did were decently done, but it just went to hell after that.

I would argue nobody should be watching DBZ period.  ;)  The original Dragon Balls was a very entertaining show, but once they hit the Z era 90% of the show consisted of watching the good guy and bad guy do their rage grunts and "power up" for 20 minutes.

But I'm not hatin on DBZ.... I really enjoyed it as a teenager.

Now Yu Yu Hakusho.... that was my show.  Of course halfway through it ended up devolving into the same scenario as dbz.  I wonder if anyone realizes that the ever popular Bleach is basically a mixture of those two shows?
