Anime anyone?

[sehui]

I know, it's blasphemy for us 'jocks' and sport junkies to enjoy nerdy and geeky things like anime.

But, I'm a huge fan, and not just the popular ones like Bleach, Naruto, DBZ, One Piece.

I'm a big Haruhi Suzumiya fan, along with Steins;Gate and Madoka Magica for some of my new favorites.


I've seen or heard of most series, so just wondering if any other fans out there.

Inb4 being called and insulted :x

Look for a thread called "lol" in the nba forum. You might find a luva or two.

[sehui]

link to the thread? searching for 'lol' using the forums search engine isn't exactly great.

I have a soft spot for DB/DBZ and FMA. The mainstream ones tbh.

[Kai]

Toonami was the shit back in the day.

[Mister Sinister]

I'm a Gundam guy, tbh. The older stuff (Zeta, 0079, Victory) mostly, but I like G, X and Turn-A, as well. Beyond that, I'm good with Sgt. Frog, FMA, Trigun, Bebop, DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho...shit like that.

[Reck]

I like Hellsing, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Fist of the North Star.

Basically old school animes. These new stuff is for the birds man.

[sehui]

sweet, some real responses! haha. Yeah Toonami was my childhood man, they actually had an April Fools joke on Cartoon Network and brought it back for a day.

Slam Dunk is a classic, but I could never get into it.

A lot of the series yo guys mentions are all good oldies, from Toonami like yu yu hakusho, DBZ, and FMA. All good shit.

[Reck]

Oh I forgot about Saint Seiya. I grew up watching that shit. Awesome.

They're making some sort of new version of it. Is it any good?

Gotta peak that out sometime.

I'm actually a bigger fan of the newer stuff, and I know you're right haha..a lot more 'kawaii' girly shit and moe. But if you look past it, there are some damn good gems, and finally some HD quality animation.

[Kai]

Rurouni Kenshin, G Gundam, Gundam Wing, DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho. Shit was so cash.

outlaw motherfucking star

[J.T.]

Dragon Ball Z ftw

Everything else, not so much

[cheguevara]

gantz is pretty fucking tight

[Dex]

Ninja Scroll > Princess Mononoke > Kite > Akira

I used to do the Dragonball / Dragonball Z thing, but got real tired of it taking like 5 episodes to convey 10 minutes of story time tbh. The Frieza and Cell sagas were pretty badass, tho.

^ You're telling me you didn't enjoy watching goku prepare a spirit bomb for 15 episodes?

:lol I did until he fucked it up and we had to watch him go through it all over again.

[Sleepy_Floyd]

Beserk. That is all.

[GoodOdor]

Princess Mononoke - my all time favourite. Just an awesome, awesome movie.

Grave of the firefly's - I seriously regret watching this shit. Cried like a bitch tbh.

[xellos88330]

I watch a lot. Too many to state here.

[TDMVPDPOY]

BREAKING: Toonami Returns May 26th
(http://adultswimcentral.com/2012/05/16/breaking-toonami-returns-may-26th/)
In a move that shocks, like, nobody, except anyone who lives under a rock or without a television or internet connection or something, but it still sort of cool and a little exciting, Adult Swim’s bringing back Toonami as a block. Saturday nights just got a whole lot more mid-90′s-to-mid-00′s Cartoon Network.

There’s been a huge call for the network to revive the old Cartoon Network action block ever since their April Fool’s stunt for the year turned out to be a full Toonami block complete with old shows (some Toonami aired originally, some they didn’t) and freshly-recorded TOM dialogue and a game review of Mass Effect 3 by the man who gave TOM his voice all those years, Steve Blum. Blum himself started up a Twitter hashtag and campaign of sorts, #BringBackToonami, having his followers start tweeting the tag around the time the action block started every Saturday night on Adult Swim. Looks like it was successful.

If you’re not aware of what Toonami was (I’ve seen people ask, it’s weird, I know), it was a block that began in 1997 that ran action shows on Cartoon Network. Starting out with titles like Voltron and Thundercats, the block eventually came to be known for its Japanese anime content, helping bring shows like Dragon Ball Z, its earlier counterpart Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Tenchi Muyo, Outlaw Star, The Big O, Yu Yu Hakusho, and a handful of varied Gundam titles to prominence. Later on, it also aired Cartoon Network originals like Samurai Jack. It had an earlier-in-the-day counterpart weekdays on Kids WB for a short time, and a late night block named Midnight Run that lasted for four years. It was also popular for its host: at first hosted by Moltar, who you may know from Space Ghost Coast to Coast, it was later hosted by a few versions of a character named TOM, voiced by Steve Blum, also recognizable as Spike from Cowboy Bebop. He joked, he reviewed video games, he introduced viewers to new music, and was there until the end. The block went off air in 2008.

May 26th will see the return of Toonami as an actual programming block, the first time since 2008 that it has been a presence on US television. What the block will actually air besides Bleach, Cowboy Bebop, and Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is unknown as of right now, but hopefully some more light will be shone on the upcoming revival tonight at the Adult Swim upfront. Hopefully some new shows will be included.

You can join Adult Swim Central for a special live Upfront edition of the Swimcast tonight at 10:30PM EST, and we’ll let you know any bit of news regarding Toonami or anything else Adult Swim as we get it!

And you can relive the mid-90′s and early 00′s on May 26th at midnight.

A little bit too late.
